Where can I get information on the 2009 stimulus package?

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I can’t find a website that spells out the details of the most recent stimulus package. Any suggestions?

when 60% of the population doesn't want the stimulus bill passed, but 30% does, should it be passed?

Friday, October 9th, 2009

please take a look at this chart from us news & world report as of
april 8, 2009 and tell me why there is such a rush to pass the stimulus bill that mr. obama wants to pass:

http://www.usnews.com/polls/whispers-poll-passing-obamas-budget/results.html

you can see here that almost 11% polled want to study it more before there is a vote. what do you want? did you read it?

if you have not read it yet, why not? it’s only about 1,000 pages long.

ron paul introduced legislation in the us house of representatives to bring back what is known as the "sunshine act," which would make it such that bills up for a congressional vote would be available, in both written and electronically written form, to the congress and to the people for at least 7 days. that is what i call responsible government given that we are a republic and it is we, the people, that need to know what the bills say before the congressmen that we have voted into office vote on them. and really, don’t you agree that it’s important that these bills are available for the legislators to READ more than the number of hours between 4:00 p.m. on one day and the morning after that day?

so then, given that 60% of those polled do not want this bill to pass whatsoever, what makes it so good that about 30% want it to pass?

in your opinion, what will this bill do for YOU? how will it positively affect your life?

we are talking about ,600,000,000, or, close to ,000,000,000 (.6 trillion or trillion dollars)–i do not think that is small change, do you? so, what can the stimulus bill, the one up for congressional approval into law, going to do, for YOU? the population of the united states approximates 315,000,000 (315 million) people.

and so, since some of these citizens are children, let’s say, a little under one third of this number, that would mean that adults make up the remaining 215,000,000 citizens. (note here, i am not counting illegal aliens because they should not be here and therefore, they have no "rights" to get a penny of this money. they did not pay taxes for it and since nobody knows they are here, their kids will not pay future taxes to make up the trillions anyway).

meanwhile, back in DC, we have a budget deficit already of 5,000,000,000–5 trillion dollars. that means that we will be in the hole (a/k/a "The Federal Government Abyss") 5,000,000,000 (5 trillion dollars) if this stimulus bill is passed and signed into law. that means that our own people (all of them, including children and infants) will owe the government coffers ,920,634 and some cents, each, in order to balance our budget. hmmmmm.

what does that say to you? how long will you have to work at what rate of pay and how many children must you birth, feed, house, clothe, medicate and educate enough so that they get jobs that will pay them enough to pay off the deficit?

might it be that 60% of those polled have given a flat "nay" to putting mr. obama’s stimulus package into law because they see the unreality of it all?

let’s say that instead of the bill as it is written now passing, we were to hold our hands out so that each one of us adults would get our fair share of that .6 trillion dollars? that would mean that every one of the 215,000,000 adult citizens of our country would now get, each, about ,744,186. if you and your spouse each got around million dollars, what would you do with it? okay, if you and your spouse said screw you to one another, what would you do with almost ,000,000?

if i faced foreclosure, i’d first pay off my mortgage and all the attorneys for the lender. the banks get da money and then they don’t need any more handouts. then, i might buy a new car. no more hands out for our money to save the auto industry. and then, i think i would buy tax exempt college bonds for my grandkids and send my son, who works so hard as a business owner, back to college for his PhD in marine biology (better to study our own oceans with far more than 6 deep-sea submersibles than it is to go to the moon again). maybe i’d take a vacation and do a gut rehab of my house, then buy beautiful furnishings. i think i’d put a whole lot of energy savers into my final product. lots of people get paid when they do all that work for me! i might even save some of that money!!! ta-da! no more worries about how i will survive in my old age, or how i will buy health insurance and all those other goodies that the aged must have.

and another ta-da!!!: all of that money would enable us to have FREE TRADE, to pay out our million each to BUY AMERICAN again (i’d hope), rather than being slaves to the orient.

given such facts and figures, do you want the stimulus bill to passed as it is written now? or don’t you? or do you want to study it more?

again, here are the results: http://www.usnews.com/polls/whispers-pol

How do you know if your mortgage lender received bailout money?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I heard Obama say that any lender that received bailout money was required to participate in the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, but how would you know if your lender was one who was bailed out or received stimulus money? (HSBC)

Obama’s ’stimulus’ plan does nothing for those who pay their mortgage…?

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

What are NORMAL people going to get out of this supposed stimulus bill? I say normal people in that normal people, with normal jobs, living in normal neighborhoods across the US. Normal people who pay their mortgage on time every month and have done this since their first payment. Are WE going to get a break? This whole administration is one big joke.
