I hate them everytime they are passed. I know that I will have to pay double in taxes in the future for every dollar they send me, but at least that is why I save or invest whatever they send me. However, I would absolutely be in favor of stimulus package if they cut spending by $300 billion. I am for a "manhattan project" on renewable energy and using $300 billion there, unfortunately it would likely be disatrous in the political climate in existence today. Imagine who will be appointed to run this program. It will come down to whoever lobbies the hardest and gives the most money, so we will probably end up paying Exxon or Chevron money to solve the problem that they financially gain from. Scientists will not be listened to, except for fringe scientists that are not mainstream and subsidized by corporations. We will end up doing very little, because I worry we are incapable of getting America together and solve problems because everyone is looking out for their individual best interests. It bums me out all the time. I hate stimulus packages. I hate them everytime they are passed.

This si why Big Government is a bad idea. This is why I want term limits. These politicians are more concerned with what they can do to get votes in the next election than actually coming up with sound policies that will secure the future of our country. But this falls, ultimately on us. We haven't gotten mad enough to really do anything about it with our votes. Capitalism is not failing us, it is the two party political system. Absolutely!

If we did not have to pay into that failing idea, it would free consumer money...for investing in the stock market...or paying off loans ... IA energy dependence has added badly to this inflation. All in all the American people need more money in their pockets. Not big time corps... Corps get bailed out by the people's money, and people still owe them money? Isn't that kinda double jeopardy, or double taxation?? Why not add something about SS?
