Are you in favor of the new economic stimulus package approved by Congress?

only if it is given to the people who have worked their butts off and still can not make it due to the past leaders in washington, and no i don't think obama will be any different, she has already gone back on his word on more than one thing that he said earlier.

I do think it should be approved because I support what is trying to be done with childcare people who receive help from the government is now being terminated because of no fund but if there if you can't afford to pay childcare we'll have to stop working and then how will we pay our bills and I think obama is doing a great job it take a lot of hard work and that’s what he is doing

Two days into the poll and only two comments? They are obviously from the pro side of the poll which so far is only 29% of the vote. That’s one of the problems, the silent majority remains silent. Albert Einstein said that the definition of ‘insanity’ was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Franklin Roosevelt extended the depression for 10 years, that’s why it was called the ‘Great’ Depression, by spending, spending, and spending. Japan had the ‘lost decade’ of negative growth in the 90’s because of government stimulus spending, spending, and spending. In the early eighties when the economy was slightly worse than it is now a man named Regan got us out of the recession by cutting taxes and making government smaller. Smart guy President Regan was. The current congress and administration is insane by repeating bad history.

One of the biggest reasons we are in the recession we are is beacuse people expect our government to provide for them. And yes it is the governments job to protect our welfare but not to provide free childcare and other novelty benefits that i know alot of people have to work hard for and do not get any benefit from the government. While some people our complaining about the recession they are obviously not helping by laying back and still taking welfare checks and saying they cannot get jobs when they are perfectly able (just as well as anyone else) to go down to the local McDonalds and get a job. And while i know that this will not support a family but it is better than nothing. This stimulus package should help college tution more because it will not only benefit the country's intelligence but also help the welfare of people for years to come to have better jobs and not have to rely on programs such as welfare that drain government funding.
