A Trillion Dollar Mi$take...

Boy, am I glad to be home. I have really missed my Active Rain friends and have really missed the news as to what has been happening in the real world. You know how conventions go... That being said, have we just witnessed the signing of the Trillion Dollar Mi$take?

As most of you know, the "Trillion Dollar Economic Stimulus Package, was ramrodded through Congress and the Senate. The bill was not given the chance to be reviewed, it was just shoved down our throats like a spoonful of Cod Liver Oil... YEECH!!! Yeah buddy! So much for transparency and openness in THIS administration... Folks voted for change and change we are "a fixin' to git it."

I read a post by fellow active rainer Kris Wales this morning that really touched me. Embedded in it was this video which greatly resonated with this American. This package is a mistake and I hope and pray to the Almighty that each and everyone of us will call our Representatives and ask them amend this huge mistake. If changes are not made, we may be looking at the US as being just another third world country...

A Trillion Dollar Mi$take...

Wishing all my fellow drips and tweeps a G-r-r-r-reat day... 8-)

Yes I beleive it is a mistake as well. I have not been for a mojority of the bill and I dont see how its going to help us recover.

Laura, I am with you there girl... I think that we will all be unpresently surprised when we see all the crap, garbage, pork is in this bill. With all the pigs that are being killed to fill this barrel, where are the PETA folks when we need them...

I wanted to sit and cry when he was reading the letter from Greg in Milford. Michael, thanks for helping me get the word out about this articulate and caring man.

Kris, I was very touched by this as well. There are many Americans that are feeling the pain of this economic downturn, I met several in Dallas this past week. Many folks are on the brink of loosing their businesses...

I guess we will all have to wait and see what happens

Michael, I saw this video last night and I'm just disgusted! NO ONE has read this thing???, we are in for Change alright!

Its very frightening that our educated "leaders" have put aside the basics of any thinking human, do not put your name on something that you do not know what it says. And it affects each and every Amercian. I believe we were just sold down the road of good intentions. (and we all know where that road goes)

Do you believe that people should buy or sell a home without having a professional realtor guiding them?

I'm sure most of you would say NO!

The politicians in Washington don't believe that we, individuals or business should make decisions about our economic and social future without the Federal Government guiding us. It's theri job as they see it. They have the answers and you know what....they are right! At least 90% of the time because that is the percentage of incumbents that get re-elected normally.

Hope is allways been the salvation for all the masses. . .let's hope and do our part

Randall... Yup! all we can do is wait...

Debbie... You are right! Just wait until Americans hear about how we are being sold down the river...

Gail... I totally agree...

Calvin... I think that it is time that we Americans unite and take back control of our country! Lets use our power of voting to get the current bafoons out of office...

Michael, I have been so upset about this. The fact it had to be ramrodded down the Congress and Senate is just unbelieveable. What is a 48 to allow them time to review.

I'll tell you what it is they knew if given time, the smart ones would find more pork to talk about and expose to us.

God help us!!

Missy... All Americans should be upset about this and they need to have a serious "Word of Prayer" with their representatives...

Excellent post! What a monstrosity.....I am speechless and am tugging on my last hair!
