I just hope that this works. If it doesn't, I prefer not to think about that. Today will seem like the good old days.

I'm putting my faith in the economists who are backing the major components of this plan.

Clearly.. Apparently stuff like $320 million for std prevention is going to generate hundreds of thousands of jobs. Basically $119,000,000,000 is being spent on social programs that will not create one single job.

Dems really are dumb when it comes to money.

Are you a Nobel prize winning economists?

Your state has been hijacked by wankers. If you need help kicking them out, like many, I'm in.

Heck I think the entire world would sign up.

Nah! It keeps us all entertained. Much better than screwing sheep and drinking piss. But, you are welcome to bust a few heads in Sacramento, if you want. I might even lend a hand.

Cool. I bank with 3 banks and they all lost money

So did Commonwealth Bank - their stock is down over 46% over the last year, and they don't report their earnings until Feb 11.

Maybe he's talking Q3? I bet my banks made money in Q3 too.

The $2.6bn profit was from August '08.

McCain and the Rethuglicans lost....under the current crises, with so many Americans unemployed, they need to not interfere with Obama's agenda.

Senators are elected too, you know.

There is a bipartisan group working off the floor right now, putting together a $750,000,000 package that might pass the Senate, and get the bill into conference.

750,000,000,000?

I prefer to think it as 0.75 Trillion

Neither is a lawyer (obama) or people like Pelosi and co.

My whole point is that spending money in areas that generate actual jobs is a must. In this economic environment wasting money on social stuff like STD prevention or $110 million on contraception for minorities should not be an option. Basically, you (America) cannot afford it. Moves like that shows who really got this country into this mess.

The CEO's and executives are caned for their actions but Congress has wasted $10 trillion yet faces absolutely no consequences for their incompetence. I am starting to believe Bill Maher, Americans are idiots. You guys force a president to leave after 2 terms yet allow incompetent and corrupt senators to stay on as long as they like. As long as their own interests and those of others who bankroll them are being served, all is good.

Financially they are doomed. $30 billion in debt.
