Do not worry, Obama is now working on creating millions of new jobs to replace the 8 million he has lost.
It might have taken him 11 months to start working on jobs, but at least he is doing something.
He has all the experts in one room to figure this thing out. But, they are not the same experts he said he put together during his campaign now is it? What happened to all those old experts?
But you DO agree that it was the biggest tax cut in history, and that the Republicans opposed it.
Thanks. That's all I needed. No further explanation needed.
Don't you know what the means? It's sarcasm, as in....sure, it's the biggest tax cut in history....NOT!!! Certainly not in the traditional sense...you know, as in real American's get to keep more of what they earn via paying less taxes. $65 a month is what the most working American families are getting in terms of a tax cut. Yes sirree....that's the democrat idea of giving you a tax cut in hopes of stimulating the economy... THE BIGGEST TAX CUT IN HISTORY!!!
And certainly your previous statement

Everyone who makes less than $250k a year just got the biggest tax cut in history with the stimulus bill.
is a complete falsehood as the majority of 'tax cuts' don't even apply to EVERYONE who makes less than $250k a year. But yeah, no further explanation needed....the democrat party line these days.....smoke and mirrors...don't worry about it.

Yeah, it's right there in black and white. You can try to spin it anyway you want, but it doesn't change the facts of the matter.

Again, it's right there in black and white.
Wow, you are really in deep. The facts as you represent them are completely false but, like Dan Rather, you're going to stick by them. Good luck with that.
We, the public, have been hoodwinked by the stimulus packages. We were told and it his been sold that the stimulus packages were necessary to bailout financial institutions and create jobs. We were told that the sky was falling and if we didn't support the stimulus packages then disaster would occur. The bottom line is that astimulus package is not a stimulus package but rather a trojan horse disguising what it really is, which is a tax increase.
Bad housing and lending regulatory policy since the 1970s is a major culprit that has brought the United States to it's knees financially. Both major political parties contributed to this. In order to make up for the disastrous results of this bad policy the government need money....our money. They basically had two ways to get our money. First, our taxes could have been immediately increased which was not politically feasible at the time. Second, they could "borrow money" in the form of a stimulus package, which was the most politically feasible. The problem is that this "borrowed money" will have to be paid back(plus interest) and the only way to do that is increase taxes. Yes, the public has been hoodwinked. When we supported a stimulus package we basically supported huge tax increases in the near future to pay for both the "borrowed money" as well as the interest on the borrowed money. All that remains now is for the government to use enough crisis scare tactics to try and get support for tax increases and more borrowing. Scare tactics like the world will end as we know it if we don't pass a Cap and Trade bill. Scare tactics like the United States will go bankrupt if we don't increase taxes in order to lower our huge debt.
We are like lambs being led to the slaughter. It's time for the public to wake up and demand that government(both parties) change it's ways so that individuals and families are not the ones left bankrupt in the end.
Yeah, that trickle down stuff works wonders for the economy, doesn't it!!!???

most Bush-era financial regulators were less than enthusiastic about the very act of regulating, and that Bush's "ownership society" push glossed over a lot of potential dangers. Bush didn't cause the financial regulatory breakdown, but he didn't jump in to fix it either.
Anyone else recall something about Iraq, WMDs, dire threat, etc...
