Got my mind on my money, and my money on mind. Holler!

Like EPMD and LL would say back in the day: Slow down, baby!

President Obama,

Stimulus package sounds nice but give me a break!

His new appointments even hate paying taxes!

All I know is that whenever he opens his mouth it is either going to cost me or take away freedoms. Usually both.

$300 Million to teach kids that if you have sex you might have a baby! Stimulus my Ass.

TFISKE

Right on brother, the folk appointed to enforce tax laws can't seem to follow them. One of two things is going on. Either the laws they created is too complicated for people to understand and obey or the people that make them are crooks. I am sick of these people getting off the hook for things which a "Regular Joe" would be jailed. It's disgusting.

Anthony

I want to believe the change platform! He is a hell of a saleman!

Like they say be careful what you wish for.

I find it funny we have not heard a word from Josean or Dreads on this tax or stimulus scam!

If the DR was spending like this they would be all over the country yet not a word from them on Obama!

They must like the word stimulus as they lead sad boring lives.

Good observation, but watch, as we start discussing this issue someone makes an incorrect statement and many of us, including myself, get off the track.

The big 3 have vehicles just sitting around collecting dust.

I say buy them and give them to Americans!

That should stimulated some folks and keep the big 3 moving!

Why give them the cash to fuel the jet or pay big bonuses!

If you are going to piss the money away do it right and have some fun!

The outrageous hypocrisy for the Democrats know no limits....they all make me sick.

TFISKE, when you have some insightful remark about the stimulus package, i will reply to you. this forum is called DOMINICAN TODAY. it is intended for people to discuss issues pertinent to the DominicanRepublic, and occasional extra territorial issues which are pertinent to the outcomes in the island. to my mind , it was not intended as a playground for juvenile pranksters to amuse themselves in the tired old pastime of internet "flaming".worse yet, when those self appointed flamers come from places far away, like Alberta, Canada. those of us in this part of the world have to live here, and the sensible and serious minds on the board are trying to engage in useful discourse. so, here is my suggestion; you have already had your little fun. you are canadian, and have no stake in the fortunes of this country. if you have to engage in childish and destructive pursuits, go destroy canada. leave people here alone, unless you have something useful to say. we welcome any insightful remarks

from you regarding the solutions for the current crisis. might you tell us what you think is the basic cause for the current economic malaise, and offer a solution, other than the immediate introduction of liquidity? for one as vociferous in denouncing the plan, tell us what you suggest, and explain the inherent misguided direction of a stimulus. do not waste our time with red herring issues . give us the TFISKE prescription for the situation. for one who is quick to ridicule and denounce, i am still to hear anything substantive from you. so, i offer you an open opportunity to show us your knowledge. the floor is yours.

"President Obama readies new spending plan"

Democrats cheat and lie but that is okay, the Republicans cheat and lie and they get kicked out (as they should). But the outrageous hypocrisy for the Democrats know no limits. Whatever it was "his Highness will continue to bring into the fold people who think they are above the law and above all of us ordinary people.

The causes for the economic downturn is obvious.

The US has the Highest Corporate tax rate in the Free world and Over Regulation.

All one has to do is look at the Debacle of F.D.R.'s new deal to see what happens when the Gov gets involved in business.

you see TFISKE, when one criticises a physician's prescription, he can only base his objection from one of three standpoints
1) the malady was misdiagnosed
2)the prescribed medicine is inappropriate in treating the disease
3)all of the above.

so, TFISKE, i open the floor to you. first, tell us what caused the problem, in the first place. then, tell us what you would suggest as a remedy. i will overlook as an attempt to be humorous, your suggestion to give cars to people. you see, one of the trademarks of adulthood is to be substantial, rather than critical. any fool can sit on the sidelines and regurgitate things he hears in barbershops. real adults learn the subject matter at hand, and make intelligent remarks. i offer you the opportunity, and a subject of this importance should serve to bring out the best in your intellect. go for it!!

that , folks, comes from the "mind" of Anthonyc. now do you parents out there understand why it is absolutely vital to send your children to school? and, Dr anthonyc, the sentence should read "the causes for the economic downturn ARE obvious." first grade english. oops; i forgot. you did not make it to the first grade.

Your failure, again, to refute my ideas just confirms that I am right about you!
Get to be early so yiou can catch tha bus down to your mid-level Government Job......and slack off on my dime.

anthonyc, i do not argue certain subjects with certain people. you have not got the foggiest idea of this subject, and i do not go on fools' errands. only the most severe of idiots could ever make a statement like that. by the way, what was overregulated, and what did overregulation cause , as a negative?

anthonyc, if the financial markets were LESS regulated, what would they have been able to do to stave off the crisis? and, what would a lower corporate tax rate have done to avert the financial breakdown? this i have to hear!

Instead of taking 900 billion dollars of the taxpayers' funds, and spreading it around to a bunch of bone heads, why not just cut a check for approximately $5000 or $10,000 dollars for every working man and woman in the United States, with a short note, "Best wishes from Uncle Sam". The economic will rebound and ripple instantly and powerfully throughout all sectors of the U.S. economy. Best of all, we would be putting money into the hands of those who could most wisely use it. Politicians are throwing good cash to corrupt and inefficient financial institutions, and putting us taxpayers deeper in the hole. Oh and by the way, what if millions of tax payers suddenly decided to not pay their taxes in revolt? Can the IRS go after maybe 5 or 6 million of us?

antonio1, there is a simple rule regarding the distribution of income. if you take all the money in the world and divide it up among all the people, the people who had it all, will regain it. so, your solution does not really work. the problem is not only in the distribution of money and assets, though that is part of it. it is far more complex than that.

Good observation, but the issue is stimulating the economic, Right?, we already gave the banks 700 billion and they pocket it. What will you do with 5 k?

It would be great to see the government confront the crisis instead of adding to it with more printing, borrowing, and spending. The problem is that they don't have a crisis. We do. While we lose our jobs and homes, they get paid and even get another $93,000 salary increase. Even the stimulus bill they are proposing only adds to the crisis as they spend our money on their pork projects.

When did Government mandated theft of private property become "redistribution of wealth?"

Santanar, have you noticed that it is a lot easier to point out the problem than to come up with the solution? While this financial crisis is blamed upon bad mortgage financial practices, the first pin in the bubble was the $$4 dollar gas price. That caused the first missed house payment and from there all hell broke loose. People are spread so thin they have no reserves and Mr. Obama is asking us to bail out the credit card companies. He make me sick.

how do you propose that they confront the crisis? what do you consider to be the causes of the problem, and how do you think the problem can be fixed without government spending? and, if government is going to spend, how will they raise suffient liquidity without printing it? just asking...

Dreak, why do you keep answering questions we another question, go ahead and fire up your idea and lets go at it.

On Monday, Senate Democrats dropped two controversial spending programs in the Senate economic stimulus bill: $75 million for anti-smoking programs and $400 million for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. But one of the Democratic sources also said, "It's hard to explain when you're in the midst of a crisis why these programs are important. When people are struggling and thinking about their jobs, it's hard to make that connection."Republicans, and even some Democrats, have been pointing to both of these items as prime examples of "excess spending" that doesn't belong in the stimulus bill.

Source: CNN.com

santanar, though the spending package regarding anti smoking might be questionable, research against hiv and sexually transmitted diseases does create work in the health care environment. and work and employment are critical aspects of the intent of the stimulus package. the results could lead to positive medical advances. it is not as though the money was being given away as a prize to the guy who can bake the world's largest coconut macaroon.

The $400 million was for prevention. In other words pamphlets and stupid P.S.A.s.
The money was suppose to be for "STIMULUS" not some social engineering project with dubious effect.

On a personal note. Anybody in the workplace who doesn't know they can get the clap from Mary Jane Rotten-Crotch or that bang the office 'Ho in the supply closet can lead to child support payments deserves what they get.

The package was supposed to create jobs - like state owned restaurants, windfarms and reclamation. flood prevention, high speed trains instead he inreases food stamps.....

Do you realize the fact that you are able to babble on and on here is a direct result of Capitalism?

The Computer you are using, The Internet you are wasting bandwidth on.
This very website?

Not true of course - Babbage was granted 1,500 pounds for his work. Early computers were government used in Bletchley Park to crack German codes. CERN - intergovernment agency supported invention of internet. Anyho I did not say that I was against all Capitalism - Socially responsible capitalism and state capitalism can be one of the mechanisms to provide for peoples' needs. Neo-liberal and American style capitalism is the problem. State capitalist restaurants owned by the people supplying nutritious food are just fine by me!

agreement at last!
No these are American Capitalist pig agencies! Rip-off merchants all! Apple 99 cents a tune exploiter, OS is made so it acccept viruses - so MS gets to 'maintain' systems and trains the virus makers. IBM infamy:
[Hitler’s] quest was greatly enhanced and energized by the ingenuity and craving for profit of a single American company…That company was International Business Machines…

Der Fuhrer’s obsession with Jewish destruction was hardly original….But for the first time in history, an anti-Semite had automation on his side…

IBM, primarily through its German subsidiary, made Hitler’s program of Jewish destruction a technologic mission the company pursued with chilling success….More than 2,000 such multi-machine sets were dispatched throughout Germany, and thousands more throughout German-dominated Europe….

Don't ya just hate it abc?

it is soooooooooooooo easy to point out your hypocrisy. No challenge. At least your more of a challenge than Dready and the "one hit wonder" josie.

My new business venture is right up this street - and I am always careful about the chicken I eat - buy my food from local people - seldom eat beef - invest in solar - ration mayself to one airtrip in two years - live low footprint life - not one of the herd! So why cry hypocrite? You might, just might see the light on the road to Damascus! and of course Jamie is raging Commie! You need to be free of your three legged harness and dismiss these American Capitalists!
Perhaps we do a joint letter to the President proposing a Ministry of Food! Even bour beloved Churchill had one! You could get a contract to feed and educate the inhabitants of Watts! his is good capitalism - with also a social responsibility / purpose!

S.

Your a hypocrite because you wail on about evil corporations and yet you use their products to complain about them.

typical Liberal. Join Algore on his private jet to campaign about his global warming fantasy.

There was a time when everybody ate Free Range Chicken. that was when people were lucky to live to 40.

So if you capture the enemies cannons you should not turn them round and use them to attack. tThis is no hypocracy!

S,

Maybe both aC and Obama have lost the sense they were maybe born with!
S.

You didn't capture any cannons. You bought them so your "enemy" is profiting from your silly rants.
Now if those “evil corporations” are profiting then I am profiting.
If I am profiting then I am using some of my gains to support organizations in direct opposition to yours.

I fact I recently sent a check to http://www.sarahpac.com

I am sure she appreciates your efforts.

Gee man next time I go on a spying trip I'll not catch any train, drink any coffee ......

Sure and if I escape from a foreign prison I'll not catch a train as part of my escape route! The train Co might profit.

I cannot help what you do from your ill gotten gains as a latter day Nazi. By main bill is to Codetel which was sold by USA Verizon fairly recently

President Obama has a vision. He is two steps ahead of his time. He knows that the economy will get worse before it gets better.

Probably two steps behind coming out of Harvard - you ain't seen nothing yet.... US citizens will be leaving in droves to countries such as Venezuela, Brazi, Peru, Russia, France and even the DR. US is corrupt and muliply bankrupt.
