The notion that the American economy is going to be "fixed" by cuts alone is foolhardy.

We need cuts and we need to stimulate growth in the private sector.

Companies and corporations who dodge paying taxes anger me. Still, offering tax incentives to companies and corporations to invest in Americans is ALWAYS a good thing.
There were millions of dollars from the last stimulas that has not been accounted for. Where has all the previous money been spent and why no improvement. Why do the same thing again when it did NOT work the first time?

Good Afternoon Esther!


Your statement that, "there were millions of dollars from the last stimulus that has not been accounted for" is not true.



In August 2010, Republican Senators Tom Coburn and John McCain released a report listing 100 projects it described as the "most wasteful projects" funded by the Act. In total, the projects questioned by the two senators amounted to about $15 billion, or less than 2% of the $862 billion. The two senators did concede that the stimulus has had a positive effect on the economy, though they criticized it for failing to give "the biggest bang for our buck" on the issue of job creation. CNN noted that the two senators' stated objections were brief summaries presenting selective accounts that were unclear, and the journalists pointed out several instances where they created erroneous impressions.

Quoted from Wikipedia, which can be fallible, but if you doubt this, research it. For a Federal program, Obama's stimulus plan has been tracked very well.

Here is another link to research.

$500 million given to a "green" company who has now declared bankruptcy.
I think this $500 million can be considered unaccounted for...

You know, when Bush gave a stimulus package, I got a check. When Obama gave a stimulus package the fat cats got a check.

So one one hand, Obama is for wealth redistribution but on the other hand his policies helped to insulate the wealthy?


Which one is it?

If you really think that I think that way, then don't interact with me-- but I can tell you that you're wrong.







I don't support Obama for the color of his skin. I stand as a conservative willing to be objective. Why are you playing the race card? Do you support anyone based on the color of their skin?






I am not a journalist. Real journalists strive to present the facts without bias-- but there aren't any real journalists left.

So how do you think I am biased?
JD dont try to back out ,you said in post 28 "us conservatives are criticizing him because of WHO he is"that is nothing more than code for us being racists ,which has been happening since this clown was elected, to anyone who criticizes him.yes, you are guilty of doing that JD ! And for you to say i have "darkness" in me is also racist.Admit it no one on here has played the race card more than you.Im just calling ya on it.

I have a very strong record of retracting and apologizing when I am wrong in statement and/or intent.

You are wrong in your assertions.

I wasn't playing the race card at all.

I'm not apologizing for something I didn't do or intend.

That is true, you do apologize well, maybe your "RAMBO" on the keyboard, someone else entirely in person anyway, just calling it like i see it.
