Support the President's Stimulus Package

[SILVERNAME]

President Bush wants to give YOU a check ($800 for individuals or $1600 dollars for married couples).

But liberals in Washington D.C. simply don’t want to give your hard-earned tax dollars back to you.

And to make matters worse, not only are they already plotting ways to KEEP THAT MONEY, they’re also working on ways to TAKE EVEN MORE OF YOUR MONEY!

Let me explain:

As you already know President Bush is proposing a $145 billion stimulus package featuring tax breaks for both consumers ($800 rebates to individual taxpayers and $1,600 to married couples) and businesses – a sure-fire formula to recharge the economy and help small businesses and middle-class folks, who pay taxes and vote.

Every time Bush speaks about the economy the market nosedives.

What this is really saying is “holy ****” its really bad !! 150 Billion stimulous means printing another 150 billion in money. I lost count of the new money being printed in the last month. 100 billion or so for some bailout another 100 billion for this , The Fed will lower rates on the 25th , G-d knows how many billionions of dollars printed that will be.

Will the Chinese and the rest of the world want to buy our T-Bonds? It is not supprising the dollar is up in that the world bank is falsly proping it up. But, they can only stave off the inevitable for so long, a 3-6 months at the most.

“I told people buiding democracy because when you tell people your going to start wars you won’t win very many elections.” George Bush on a recent CNN interview… I’m not kidding, I saw it with my own two eyes.

We should elect the right person this coming election. No more bush for me.

There is no printing of new money involved, its just a tax rebate, basically your taxes are being returned to you ( a little of it).

No. It is actually the MSM with their scare tactics that is bringing the economy down. They have an agenda and part of that is to destroy Bush. Their hate is all consuming and they are taking people with them.

Well if he doesn’t mind the government operating at an evne higher deficit then I guess it’s okay. But for those who suggest we should just slash spending indiscriminately to balance the spending then Bush’s equations are all wrong.

Here we go again. As if the right wing media didn’t have it all in for liberal administrations. I’m glad this country is made up of both liberlas and conservatives and that the pendulum keeps swinging.

can you explain a tax rebate? If we are being over taxed, then shouldn’t a plan be put into place to curb that, rather than randomly giving money that is really ours, whenever the government sees fit? I won’t return the check, mind you…lol…but, I just don’t understand how a rebate fits into things–so, can you better explain how a rebate works here? Thank you.

I want the money because the government is run by a bunch of hypocritical, pandering incompetents who couldn’t make it in the private sector. They squander and waste. They confuse and confound. Whatever they do, the government doesn’t do it efficiently. At least not anymore.

As for the Stimulus package, the Senate will screw this up too and if I were the Republicans, I would pound them for it. LEt everyone know, “We wanted to get you some money. The Senate run by Harry Reid didn’t. They care more about special interests than your’s.” I’d say it over and over till those jerks in the Senate felt the screws tighten. I’d bludgeon them with the media they covet and turn the politics of entitlement right back on them.

This is incorrect. A tax cut without cutting spending means that we go further into deficit. Such a deficit either results in borrowing (which we already do to the limit) or the printing of money. In any event, the tax cut is merely an illusion - the purchasing power that you think you’re receiving from the government comes from the savings of every American citizen.

So then because the Government can’t manage money, we should let them have more of our’s? Strange logic.

I am responding to the poster’s claim that a tax cut does not involve printing money. I have made no claim about whether the tax cut should take place, so the “strange logic” is a figment of your imagination.

 

[goofyjim]

If the president wants to stimulate the economy why doesn’t he and congress take a 50% pay cut and return that to the citizens?

Let me put it this way. If the government gave $800 back to every American citizen and simultaneously cut its own spending by the same amount (per citizen), then you’ve actually gotten your money back. Without cutting spending, all that’s being done is inflation, which is debasement of the currency.

I’d agree with that. Unfortunately, they don’t make enough to help anyone.

 

[Wedgewood]

I think I mentioned this before, the Fed has not released since 2003 the amount of new money that has been issued.

One can only wonder how bad it really is!

What’s more, Congress does not even audit this organization it has created.

People are naive enough to believe that government tax cuts alone are actually good for them. They don’t consider that the government still needs to get purchasing power somehow to run its programs. Where does that come from?

Strange logic indeed.

They don’t? 535 times 80,000 plus 200,000 couldn’t go to help the poor? I think it would be much better spent.

Sorry it’s not a lot of money. You’re talking $42 MM not $150 Billion. There’s a big difference there, particularly considering the U.S population is over 300 million. What is that like 15cents per person?

Or are you saying that all taxpayers shouldn’t receive a rebate? It is called a stimulus plan for a reason.

Because that’s the kind of word that gets bills passed? I guess it was called the Patriot Act for a reason too.

I am saying that the taxpayers should get a rebate but the welfare recipients should not be lopped off in the process. So if we go ahead with the president’s plan he will have to accept a deficit temporarily.
