Obama's 'don't call it a stimulus' economic development plan - CSMonitor.com

You're not looking hard enough. The stimulus is doing great things for this nation's future.

The stimulus was suppose to put people back to work, well it did, short term only. All those projects are completing now, at least in my town. Those folks that put in the new sewer and water lines and rebuilt the one bridge and repaved about 3 miles of streets are now back on unemployment. What great things is it doing? Truly, other than create more debt what has it done except put a few people back to work on the short term? I know Nancy put one or two out of work biologist to work counting frogs near San Fran. John Martha had his own personal airport built, a lotta use he will get out of it. Why would you design it to kick in mostly in 2012, which is an election year unless you were playing politics? Brian I understand you optimism, but people don't need to be employed in the future, they need jobs now, not later. People are still losing their houses, what about that? We don't need more debt added to the deficit, how is this stimulus going to be any different that the last. Sorry, I don't buy it and neither do a large part of America.

Call it what you will, if it walks like a duck........it must be Stimulus!

A small part of me, a very small part hopes that the right gets their way and takes control of D.C. Perhaps they will give us another opportunity to let the banking system fail, let the insurance industry fail, let the auto industry fail and so on. You know, the point to which they have already proved they can drive this country to. When once again we have a net loss of three quarters of a million private sector jobs lost per month we will finally be able to see for ourselves if doing nothing, spending nothing, just standing and watching our economy burn will provide us the results the right thinks it would.
