hello america! hope you brought your lunch with you because this is going to be a lengthy writing.
while obama is busy giving a thumbs up to the passage of the stimulus bill as a feather in his cap, anybody with the iq of a brick can see that this bill is a dagger in the backs of this nation.
when you take all the factors into consideration such as: the housing market; the banking & loan market; the auto market; the unemployment market; &, you couple them with this bill &, some of the executive orders obama has signed, you'll know that the democrats in both the house & senate not only wasted their time, they also wasted our money. the sad part of this is, they got what they wanted & you didn't get what you needed.
the main theme for this bill has always been the economy, jobs, the middle class &, small businesses . & all obamas been talking about is...new infrastructure jobs, then it was creating jobs, then he added preserving jobs.
well america, if you ever wanted to try & prove to me that i don't deserve the name knowitall-now is your chance...
THE ECONOMY:::
there is nothing in this bill that is going to make you go out there & spend your money to help the economy recover. NOTHING! yes, people will go out there & buy a new car or a new house to take advantage of the tax angle but, that's going to be the people that can afford it in the first place. most working americans now know there is no longer job security in the civilian work place & will spend money begrudgingly because tomorrow they could be in the unemployment line or the welfare line. &, this bill does nothing to keep that from happening. there is nothing in this bill to protect their savings or any other type of investment. NOTHING!
most of america is worried about making ends meet & the $13 a week 'raise' they'll get in their paychecks doesn't start until june 09 & is reduced to $8 a week next year. so, i ask, anybody, what is in this bill for them to help reverse the flow of this economy? that $13 a week won't even buy them a ticket to see a show by the national endowment for the arts. THERE'S NOTHING!
THE JOBS:::
please tell me how many new jobs will this bill create? just take a guess? obama is the only one going around telling you it will create 2-4 million new jobs. even the 8 democrats that wrote it can't tell you. most of the democrats that the media has polled don't know &/or they duck the question. all the 'experts' on the various news show don't even know. they just know it won't be a lot.
in truth, the bill was not written to create a lot of new jobs---yes, there will be a lot of new work going on but, if it's federal building or federally funded-the jobs go to the unions first as per obamas executive order of friday/02/06/09 although there will be some waivers &, the 'buy america' clause is still there although there will be waivers. in short, you can expect to see the same old companies doing the same old work that were out there last year. it's amazing how they're the only ones to get those government contracts-year after year (from the city/county on up). there is very little in this bill for the creation of new jobs &, what little there is is not enough to dent the economy or the unemployment figures. VERY LITTLE!
&, by giving our money to the states to preserve jobs is crap. if the states were more frugal in their spending, they wouldn't be running into all these deficits. i see this as a form of the 'pay-for-play' scheme. when pa gov rendell hosted the govs convention in philly with obama, he had said pa didn't 'need' any federal funding yet, he left that convention knowing pa was getting federal funds but didn't know how much. maybe i'm reaching but, didn't rendell raise millions for obama? the job preservation obama told you about is not there. there is nothing in this bill to keep a company like walmart's or sears from letting you go. what's in it to keep dominoes from laying off people? NOTHING!
SMALL BUSINESSES:::
let's see, surely there must be something in this bill for you. i mean, after all, obama was going around the country saying how he wanted to help you guys so badly...now wait, i'm looking. don't worry-i'm still looking. don't give up-there just has to be something. maybe because the package in the bill to preserve & expand small businesses is so big i can't see it. oh, here it is:::something about NOL (net operating loss) & there's a bonus depreciation thing & they all depend on eligibility. SORRY! perhaps you should call obama, i'm sure he just forgot. SORRY!
MIDDLE CLASS:::
come on middle class america---please tell me you found all the goodies in this bill for you that obama told you you were due. please make me change my name from knowitall to knowalittle.
i can only imagine that in the democratic congressional rush to get this bill to obama, they must have dropped hundreds of pages with your goodies in them. this bill is not what you needed, wanted or, expected. but obama didn't forget you---he's about to saddle you a with massive debt that will never be fully repaid. we can't just print the money & we can't just borrow it from ourselves---obama will have to go outside of our borders to get the money &, it won't be to those countries that are going to recieve your money for abortions. (OH, HE NEVER MENTIONED THAT TO YOU?) well, where did you think the money was coming from in the first place? makes you feel good & secure to know that china will own your children & grandchildren & great grandchildren for eons to come, doesn't it? &, the democrats are truely upset that there isn't more spending in the bill. regardless of what obama told you in securing your vote, he is growing government at your expense & that's the bottom line & you're going to get less bang for your buck (that is if you still get a buck).
come monday when obama signs the bill into law, he will have created about 20 plus new government agencies.
don't get me wrong about this bill---there are some good things in it but, there are some things that should not be in a bill that's supposed to stimulate the economy, create & preserve jobs, relieve the burdon on the middle class &, help small businesses.
middle class america, you always were a soft touch so you shouldn't be too upset that obama & his bill will allow illegal aliens to recieve health care, jobs &, income tax checks at your expense.
the majority of america voted for obama & this bill is his way of thanking them.
here america. before you try to convince yourself that i'm crazy, look for yourself. this comes from gop.com & matches up with the bill perfectly.

america, i'm sure you're very happy with the way obama is about to spend your money. the above 24 examples are proof that you needed this as a people to prevent a "catastrophy"---obamas words not mine &, if you can't see why the democrats rail-roaded this bill through, you're in luck...i'm here to tell you why.
the above spending is for midterm elections, pet projects &, pay-back favors. &, i'm extremely happy to say, they are not for the republicans (with the exception of 3 of them) & 7 democrats in the house. the republicans took a party stand & i think they did the right thing.
whether you read the bill in simple language from gop.gov or read it from another site like rules.house.com, you're going to ask the same questions i did & if you come up with the same answers i got i'll promote you knowitalljuniors.
unless you're unemployed, need welfare or, one of the democrats owes you a favor, this bill is not for you. AM I WRONG IN MY THINKING AMERICA-AM I WRONG?
