why dont they just give the people like 20 grand each. i said that exact number, and that would give a major boost to the economy. its just gonna go right back to the business anyways, but at least it will help get people out of debt, or allow them to start some nice savings, or invest. whatever

It really doesn't matter what exactly Obama's political ideology is. What matters is that there are millions of Americans who don't like it. Their anger and numbers are growing everyday.
It is building momentum. Regardless of attacks on Keyes' character or partisan insults, it will not stop. The policies and legislation from the Whitehouse and the Congress are fueling the fire.

Because it wouldn't get money moving. People would save it or pay off their debt but it wouldn't create jobs or change anything. After a couple months, when the money was spent or saved, we'd be right back here.
And there would be nothing to show for it. No railways, no new roads, no computers for schools, no jobs, no solar... And we'd be right back depending on foreign oil.

Well if that wouldn't "get money moving" as you said....where the hell is the first trillion dollars that they stole from the American tax payers? I dont exactly see where that money did anything to help anyone other than the same Wall Street criminals who caused this mess to begin with.
Where will this most recent $800 Billion dollar hijacking end up?
At least this way someone who actually needs help may just get some, God forbid. Oh...but I guess that big fat $8-$20 per week increase on our paychecks will save us all like the great overlord has promised?

This is not a stimulus, it is an armed robbery.

Your post is very interrsting.
Why don't you tell us exactly what a socialist is?

Really? If Obama was really a Marxist then, rather than continue to allow the American car industry to be propped-up and CEOs still able to feather their nests and lay-off 1000s, he'd actually be handing over the factory keys and decisions to the actual shop floor workers.
That's not happening because Obama isn't a Marxist.
Enjoy your indoctrination!

Ummmm, not to rain on your parade, but by setting up an auto industry board that is dominated by union leaders and "intellectuals" that are socialist at best, it IS like handing the keys to the workers. Read "Atlas Shrugged" for the outcome of that very scenario.
