you know i don't know if this stimulus plan

is a good thing or a bad thing or something in the middle. i'm far from being an economist. what i DO know is we're in deep deep deep shite and king george was at the helm when we started in that direction. he never swayed from the shitepile course though and NO ONE (democrats included) did anything to grab the wheel away from him. now republicans are screaming for accountabilty. well i'm screaming for it too BUT FROM KING GEORGE AND HIS ENTIRE COURT.

now shut the fuck up and take the money and make sure it gets to where it belongs

Obama Tells Certain Republican Govs to Cut the Crap
Posted by Steve Benen, Washington Monthly
President Obama hosted the nation's governors in the East Room this morning, and, among other things, announced that $15 billion to cover states' Medicaid costs would begin reaching capitals this week. The result is 20 million Americans nationwide who'll be able to keep their coverage.

But towards the end of his remarks, the president stopped looking at his notes and started responding directly to some of the recent talk about some governors rejecting some federal stimulus aid. Most notably, Govs. Jindal, Sanford, and Barbour have raised concerns about unemployment benefits for part-time workers.

Obama didn't mention any names, but he nevertheless made clear that now would be a very good time for everyone to cut the nonsense.

i want to know where the hell

all of these people (as in the republican governors mentioned in this story) were when king george was shoving OUR MONEY down the throats (and directly into the pockets of) the leaders of pakistan? where were they when king george was tossing our money into that burning inferno that is known as iraq? where were they when some of the banks and mortgage company's lending practices started to stink? huh? where the fuck were they then? did they say anything THEN?

i'll bet they may put up one hell of a giant stink because a democrat is in the white house now and they need to play like 7 year olds. i'll also bet THEY'LL TAKE THE MONEY

so stfu you bunch of sniveling idiots (and i'm NOT in any way shape or form saying democrats are innocent)


GOP governors consider turning down stimulus money

By MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press Writer Melinda Deslatte, Associated Press Writer

BATON ROUGE, La. – A handful of Republican governors are considering turning down some money from the federal stimulus package, a move opponents say puts conservative ideology ahead of the needs of constituents struggling with record foreclosures and soaring unemployment.

Though none has outright rejected the money available for education, health care and infrastructure, the governors of Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alaska, South Carolina and Idaho have all questioned whether the $787 billion bill signed into law this week will even help the economy.

"My concern is there's going to be commitments attached to it that are a mile long," said Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who considered rejecting some of the money but decided Wednesday to accept it. "We need the freedom to pick and choose. And we need the freedom to say 'No thanks.'"

U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the No. 3 House Democrat, said the governors — some of whom are said to be eyeing White House bids in 2012 — are putting their own interests first.....

wasteful spending REALLY is (or is that ISN'T???)

(love it!)

We’re all about bipartisan understanding here at ObWi – so I wanted to find a good thought-provoking critique from someone who feels the stimulus bill is full of waste. I needed a different perspective. So I checked out the Corner and K-Lo obliged. To illustrate the stimulus bill’s “wasteful spending,” K-Lo dutifully linked to this longer NRO article, which meticulously outlined 50 “of the most outrageous items in the stimulus package” (generally deemed outrages because they don’t stimulate). I decided to check this list out and report back to you, fair reader.

First outrageous item on the list – the bill provides $50 million for the National Endowment of the Arts, so that the “unemployed can fill their days attending abstract-film festivals and sitar concerts.” That’s really funny. And you know who else would find it really funny? The 5 million or so Americans who work in the arts industry (including in support roles as, say, janitors). The people laid off by the Los Angeles Opera last month would also find it especially hilarious. After all, if there’s any one product that should be left entirely to market whims, it’s art...........
