You are a conservative and you have defended the Bush team in the past fella and everyone knows it.
It sure fits my predictions that eventually no one will admitt they were a Bush voter.
Dude go take a look at your old threads, none are attacking anyone but Dems.
The Democrats are going to fix what the GOP neglected for 8 years.
We are also going to undo the wrongs you have done.
So the stimulous package is only half of the solution. The other half is to close all the tax break loopholes, re-regulate, socialize whoever we bailout & possibly we have to freeze some bank accounts.
and I haven't done any wrongs. I run a business and pay my taxes unlike your Dimocratic heroes.
you do realize the largest part of your beloved stimulus plan is for appropriations, otherwise known as earmarks, that will not stimulate anything.
do you realize that the infrastructure allotment is less than what was spent on construction last year and won't be spent until at least 2010?
there is no stimulus in the stimulus plan.
Where was all this concern for the infrastructure a year or so ago when I posted about it and was excoriated?
It sure fits my predictions that eventually no one will admitt they were a Bush voter.

Its almost impossible to find a two time bush voter these days who will fess up to having enthusiatically voted for the moron twice in a row, and defended him for eight years.
Anyone who uses the word "Dimocrat" , is a rightwing radio talk fan. Using that word is a dead giveaway for a rush limbaugh or sean hannity fan.
Same old stupid ideas but in the same breath saying they dont like Bush.
what about rePUDlican or are you too dim to have caught the intentional misspelling all these months?
The key word being months.
The last few months you may have not defended him but you sure didnt start threads to excoriate them like you do the dems.
Do you really not know yourself?
C'mon enough of the personal stuff, get back to the issue.
the source of wealth is the value the market places on the end result of labor and not the labor itself.
if it were the labor itself then we could all just dig ditches and fill them up again and we would all be rich. 300 people working 40 hours a week to produce something no one wants is not producing wealth.
C'mon enough of the personal stuff, get back to the issue.
that's all they have left
When asked a simple question about the stimulus and how it does not actually contain all that great infrastructure spending that is supposed to return $1.58 for every dollar spent, and which is one of the main reasons they support the bill, they resort to personal attacks and try to tell me who I voted for.
It's sad really.

You often ignore the facts.
According to a table Zandi included with his written July 24, 2008, testimony before the House Committee on Small Business, "General Aid to State Governments" would boost real GDP by $1.36 for every dollar spent, while "Extending UI [unemployment insurance] Benefits" and providing a "Temporary Increase in Food Stamps" would increase real GDP by $1.64 and $1.73 per dollar spent, respectfully:
Grants to state and local governments (such as increased assistance for education) might not increase state spending for the programs designated in the grants but, instead, might free up funds that the states would otherwise spend on those programs. States could use those extra funds in a variety of ways: direct purchases of goods and services (or smaller cuts in such purchases), tax cuts (or smaller tax increases), transfer payments, or reduced borrowing. The impact of grants therefore would depend on how states used them.

When the rich or white collar workers take from the poor this is okay though?This is true in a lot of what I have seen Amanda post... I give her a lot of credit... she appears to be a hard working young woman... with the proper attitude of people earning their way, not supporting a Robin Hood mentality
Come on guys when you use and abuse someone elses labor you are in effect a thief for the rich or the upper middleclass with investments.
When you use a poor man's lower credit score to justify higher insurance rates you effectively robbed from the poor to give to the rich. Low credit scores are not necessarily from non payment of bills. If you have not borrowed money you may have a lower credit score and therefore be charged extra by the rigged system that is now in place.
When credit companies make loans to people they now do not have enough to actually make timely payments and charge that extra 45 bucks a month for a ten dollar two day late payment you have basically allowed and assisted the rich to steal from the poor.
A poor family with two parents working 40 and 50 hour weeks are considered lazy by a few of the posters because they work at jobs that produce a product via a service industry that creates paper debt using other peoples money. And people wonder why this countries economy is in the shitter.
ok--how can a family with two regular incomes be considered poor ?

Have you seen the cost of living today? Have you seen what minimum wage is? Minimum wage is at the lowest spending power in history and more than 75% of those on minimum wage are adults, not teenagers. An apple costs $1.00 today and that's on sale, an apartment, where I live is $700 for a SMALL apartment. Our heating bill for last month was well over $400, and we keep a cold house, heck I'm wearing a blanket right now and I'm still cold.
At our local mall, there are no fulltime jobs, they are all parttime. I know people that are working 2 and 3 jobs just to pay the bills, that's without anything left over.

We told you for 8 years you were a fucking moron and we ended up being correct.
So now you are suggesting that we don't know what we are doing? Why don't you just watch and see.
We told you this crash was going to occur and you mocked us. I even have emails from co-workers who remind me of you and they said, "sealybobo, you always think the sky is falling". Well guess what? It did fall.
