I have read the reports and all the comments with interest. The problem I see is that the average “John Doe” American, does not subscribe to this report or any other “conservative” report that I know of, so they are there with hopes that they will get a messianic change and all will be well.

Example, has anyone noticed that Obama with the help of the “left” will shortly change the laws regarding abortion and all that is implied and the new laws will be Federal. That will wipe out all states laws. Jim Laux’s comments are another example. Spot on Jim!

So how do we make the American public wake up to what is really happening and what the effect the negative press is doing to us.

If we want to see an economic change for the better, then we as a people need to have a strong backbone, be positive and get it out there.

By the time this boondoggle, the so-called “stimulus” plan that will obviously not stimulate anything, you will wish: 1. Republicans tried to be even more difficult and 2. That our citizenry engaged in honest thought – at least regarding how funding abortions is going to “stimulate” the economy. Face it Democrats, the “stimulus” package is nothing more than social spending pure and simple and won’t “stimulate” anything. I intend to go over this bill with a fine-toothed comb once it is released just for fun.

I am deeply concerned about this bailout.

Even if the bailout passes, it’s obvious that the government can not successfully distribute the money…or convince the average American that it will help.

The extra money will do nothing but further decrease the value of each of our dollars.

It may buy time…but the time it buys will not be worth the risk of never being able to pay the debts off.

We are being robbed by the FED.

30 months ago I had a total of 9 staff in my department. I was taking vacations, spending money and looking for new staff to hire to keep up with the workload I had. The market was at 14,000 and unemployment was less than 5%. Then people in this country decided we needed CHANGE and we got a Democratic Party controlled Congress. Since then, it has been nothing but downhill and now I have a staff of 1, the market at 8,000 and unemployment is skyrocketing to Jimmy Carter era levels. CHANGE? What kind of change did you liberals expect? Trickle up poverty.
