I think this should be taken off list or to a site where political

Subject: OT - Stimulus package
Peter,
It sounds like Obama didn't do much of a job getting his party on
board with the stimulus package. It sounds like way too much pork.
But as a life long Barry Goldwater Republican, this crisis is the
Republican's failure. It's the extreem swing of the pendilum from the
Ronald Regan de-regulation initiative. Now despite all the good that
came with the conservatives, we are headed back to FDR and socialism.
The Republicans need to help make this problem go away as quick as
possible, before everyone turns against them. Marx and Lenin will
tell you that there is nobody as angry as an unemployed worker.
Regards, Bob S.

Why should the Republicans vote for the stimulious package? Especially
if they don't think it is one. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office),
anaylisis is not encouraging about it's stimulating effect, in fact they
think it may inhibit the recovery. It's a Congres Critters job to not
vote for stupid bills, as much or more than to vote for good bills, (and
by that logic Democrat's shouldn't vote for it either, but hey, it's
their bill). At a cost of $120,000 for every $30,000 job produced it's a
bad deal for the taxpayer. My suggestion, just pay everone you can
identify who would have gotten one of those jobs $60,000 and let them
spend it. It's a better deal for the taxpayer, and would provide more
stimulious, produce more jobs, and probably get those spenders real jobs
faster. The Republicans are finally doing their job and you think it will
end their party? You might be right, but if so it's the end of the
country anyway.

Dave,
Ours are equally stupid over here.
The Republicans are like the little kids who threaten to hold their
breath until they turn blue.
They won't vote for the stimulus package. Think depression next and a
proper burial for the Republican party.
The Democrats are like kids in a candy store, stuffing every pocket
with stimulus package money 'cause it's flowing.
If Obama doesn't give them both a bad case of red ass, I'll be very
disappointed.
Regards, Bob S.

So the world economy is up Poo Creek. Governments around the world are
proposing stimulus packages to try & help dig their economy's out of
it. Australia is no different.
Earlier in the week the Prime Minister proposed a AU$ 42 billion
stimulus package. This is now being debated in the Senate. Listening
to some of the Senate hearings on the radio this morning one Senator
asked a treasury official:
"What's so magical about the number 42?"
Stupid politician.
:-)
Cheers,
Dave
