Obama: Day 1.

[JITB]

I'm sorry but no offense I found this a little humorous. We don't have the time or money to give these people a trial but we have money to throw out there for all the extra bull shit that was in the bailout and Obama's already proposing $850B stimulus after the last one didn't work. Oh yea. The guy is really learning. I think the best idea I have heard regarding any kind of stimulus came out of Texas. Instead of adding to the problem by printing off more money on top of the $700B bailout suspend Federal Tax witholdings for 60 days. IMHO the stimulus is flawed. What we need right now is people spending money not socking it away or paying down credit cards and thats exactly what they did with the stimulus and only a select people got it. If you suspended Federal Tax witholdings for 60 days regardless of age or income, think about all the kids that would have a couple hundred extra bucks every two weeks to blow on stupid shit they otherwise couldnt get. That more than anything would help.

Not too many people were fond of the bailout, but it had a purpose, just like the stimilus does. But Gbay is a waste of money..there is no way around it. you dont even have a reason for it to remain open. Those people arent being charged, sentenced for anything just being held captive and being taken care of by us. And wat people did with their money noone can control.. so thats pointless to discuss.

Point is.. Gbay is a waste of money...to take care of prisoners who arent being put thru the justice system, just being detained for years..

Yea and they were so slow at implementing the bailout they are coming back asking for more. Good job congress.

As far as Gitmo goes we will never fully understand the importance of it cause for the most part what goes on down there is classified. If we are getting credible intel leading to saving more lives in Afghanistan/Iraq/at home, can you really put a price tag on it?

As far as your point on the bailout.It's worth talking about if we are about to commit more money that we dont have to it. Why does anyone think that this one will work when the first one backfired? What cause were throwing more money at it?
