February 02, 2009 “TruthDig” — The daily bleeding of thousands of jobs will soon turn our economic crisis into a political crisis. The street protests, strikes and riots that have rattled France, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Iceland will descend on us. It is only a matter of time. And not much time. When things start to go sour, when Barack Obama is exposed as a mortal waving a sword at a tidal wave, the United States could plunge into a long period of precarious social instability.

This is going to directly affect each and every one of us and our kids and our grandkids and the generations after that!
I have been reading and actually taking the time to delve into what the power-hungry's are doing in regards to this $$$$ "stimulus", since they have the almighty "Anointed King" behind them now.
I think we all need to know what the money is going for..
I hope I have put it into the words so it can be read without boredom.  even though it is scary and maddening...and most of all so darn frustrating that we have these people running the show.
 
Okay.. now really read this and let it sink in.............................

President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are on the verge of putting into law a $819 billion “stimulus” program .
This program is nothing less than a rip-off of taxpayers. ( That'd be you and me, folks  )
The U.S. Senate will be voting soon on this spending boondoggle.. which happens to be one of the most disgusting pork-barrel bills ever presented to Congress.

And hold on to your hat Ladies and Germs... The Senate version backed by that idiot  Harry Reid is even worse~~  it calls for an additional $71 billion in spending .. Totaling $890 billion.

Just how outrageous is this shameful $819 billion stimulus? Let me be the one to reiterate and tell you.

For starters ..and this will shock you .. ( well. probably not  ) but both the House and the Senate programs have a loophole that even gives illegal aliens cash payouts.

Here’s how The Associated Press explained it: “Undocumented immigrants who are not eligible for a Social Security number can file tax returns with an alternative number. A House-passed version of the economic recovery bill, and one making its way through the Senate, would allow anyone with such a number, called an individual taxpayer identification number (TIN), to qualify for the tax credits.”

In case you didn’t know it, any illegal can get a TIN number from Social Security, no questions asked.

This means illegals who broke the law to get here will be eligible immediately for federal cash — up to $1,000! 

It gets worse... ( Aren't I just a barrel full of good news today?  )
 Let me detail for you some actual facts from the “stimulus”:

** More than $4 billion is earmarked for "neighborhood stabilization activities"... money that will go to groups like ACORN, which worked closely with the Obama campaign, the same group accused of massive voter fraud.
Almost half of the proposed spending will directly benefit the Service Employees International Union, federal, state, and municipal employee unions, or other Democratic-controlled unions, according to writer Ben Stein.

**  $600 million goes for news cars for top government bureaucrats.
Obama promised major infrastructure projects — yet only 5 percent of all the money goes for this.

** $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. (whoo-hoo) 
 
**  $75 million to fund anti-smoking programs. ( sighhh)

**  $650 million for the switch from analog television to digital. ( Now THAT will help the economy)

**  $335 million to help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. ( I am not even going to start with this one)

**  $600 million for “climate change” research programs. ( Another biggy that will keep our heads above water   )

This is just a small part of the long laundry list of trivial, weird, and simply outrageous programs being funded in the Obama stimulus bill, which goes on for 680 pages — so long no one in the House was believed to have read it before voting for it!

Just to show you the tremendous waste, there is so much money appropriated in this bill you could give every unemployed person in the nation a check for $75,000 for the amount being spent.

Frankly that would be a better way to dispense the funds than what Obama wants to do.

Lets call a spade a spade.... It’s Just a Big  Payoff for the Election.
He and his Democratic allies are simply wasting hundreds of billions of our money in a clear “payoff” to Democratic Party interest groups and unions that backed him and the Democrats in Congress during the last election.

The truth is that Obama and Congress could have created economic stimulus by across-the-board tax cuts for all Americans, and tax incentives for businesses to hire new workers and use their capital for new purchases.... instead hundreds of billions of dollars are going to bolster federal and state welfare programs.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay put it best when he said Obama’s program is “just complete, out-and-out writing of checks to people that don’t pay taxes. These are welfare checks that are called tax cuts.”

Scary?
You better believe it. The Democrats are making Freddy Krueger look like a reasonable nice kind of fellow.

This week the Senate will debate on the stimulus program.
Hope the ones who support their Democratic party are going to be happy with the results...

Tell me again why we "need" this "stimulus" package.

Sorry, that's about all I can muster, at least Tom Daschole, withdrew.......

Who said no when government schools were started? Who said no to the the private corporation the Federal Reserve? Who said no to the progressive income tax? Who said no to FDR's gold confiscation? Who said no to gun laws that violate the 2nd amendment? Who said no to Social Security and all of it's fellow travelers? Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

It all could have been stopped a long time ago, but the generally dumb public forgot a little thing, there are principles in this world, and if we violate them we suffer, and so do innocent people such as our children, and those few who actually stand up for what is right. There have been many "nut jobs" who said the emperor is naked to deaf ears.
Hosea 4:6  My  people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

That's OK, look on the bright side.
Remember that thread with the course on the economy that explained about bubbles, the one that talked about resource depletion ? Well one of the points that guy made was that bubbles resemble a bell curve, They fall only a little further than they rose and at the same rate. Meaning that the crash will take bout the same length of time as the build up before we even START to recover. And Runstowin is right, this has been building since FDR took the Dollar off the gold standard.
That means that we will not see bottom for another 75 years, If America survives, she will not begin to recover until 2100 ish. The bright side of this gloomy forecast is that in the social collapse and violence that the situation will produce , Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, et al will not die in bed. I predict that at some point a mob, probably composed of disillusioned Obama supporters, will either drag them out and hang them, or literally tear them to shreds.
The first 8 - 12 years after total collapse will be the worst, after that order will be restored by locally raised and supported law as the survivors adapt to the new situation.
Those who have no skills, or way of supporting themselves in a pre high tech society are going to die.
All those pompous talking heads, Chris Mathews, Olberman, etc, RIP. Career Politicians, like Al Gore and Teddy K., Bye bye.
Even if the mob doesn't get them, their lack of useful skills and common sense will kill them.

Thank you Mr. sunshine !!!  Personally I think it will be over in 2 years. Not the depression ,just the Government.

Hey tombogan03884 that sure is a crappy outlook...I mean Teddy K will be dead from brain cancer before then. Doesn't that make you sad? It does me...I don't want him to escape his just reward from the mob of former supporters.

This “stimulus bill" should really be named; The BHO and the Democrats Won the Election Pay-back Bill.

If they took the money in the Bill and gave it to people to spend it would be around $3,500 per person.  Multiply that times the number of people living under your roof.

Or to look at it another way, we all have to pay the bill some day with interest!

Lets all pony-up so they can reward their cronies.
