So called stimulus is expected to reach 1 Trillion dollars?
Does any one realize how many zeros that is....that is 12 zero's after the number 1. Now this money is going for spending such as 600M for brand new fed. gov. cars, 400M for the RESEARCH of global warming, 250M goes to hollywood to by film. I have done a little research and we already know that 40% of the population does not pay federal income taxes, this means that out of 300,000,000 nearly half do not pay taxes. In 2007 only 145,000,000 submitted income tax forms and paid taxes. Now, this stimulus is expected to reach 1 Trillion dollars. Now we already know that we the people are the ones who stimulate the economy so this means that the govt. could give every man woman and child in america a check for $3,288.83. This amount would go to those who do not pay taxes at all. so you can do the math of how much a family of 2,3,4, etc would get. Now according the IRS for 2007 only 145,000,000 people in the US paid taxes....now you do the math and see what you would receive out of the 1 Trillion of those who pay taxes. that would be roughly around $6,800.00 for every person who pays taxes. I think that we could stimulate the economy with this amount of money, and people can pay down their debt.
What are your thoughts.
6 AnswersElections1 decade agoHelp for my daughter in Matn?
My daughter is a good student. Her class work and homework grades do not reflect on her tests. She has never been great at math but typically maintains a B average. She is now looking at a C in math, and when I look at her grades, for class work and homework they are all A's. But her tests are low C's and moderate D's. I am at a loss, we have tried so many things. I know that many students do not test well, while their other work shows different. She is the kind of student who hates to finish last, so she will rush, and if she does not understand a concept, she will not ask the teacher. She is in 6th grade and much of what they are doing this year is review, so it should be a fairly easy year for her. I would appreciate any ideas that anyone would have, before we turn to a tutor.
Thanks for your ideas

6 AnswersElections1 decade agoWoman goes into labor listening to a radio station?
I heard this morning that a lady went into labor yesterday morning, because she was laughing so hard at a radio station. The lady was scheduled for a C-section a few weeks from now, but she was laughing so hard at these people on this radio station that she went into early labor, and husband had to take her to the hospital. It was because she was laughing so hard at their "wheel of" and they do something stupid, crazy, torturous to who ever looses.
The site is........ bobandtheshowgram.com ......bob and the show gram g105. They have a link on their site for the wheel of thing, and I am guessing it was from yesterday.

What is it that bush has done against blacks? What is it that Blacks are hoping Obama is going to do for them?
I am not trying to make this a race issue, but it appears that with more than 90% of ethinics voting for Obama, that is what it is. and with the answer that I read and it stating "the way you, we have been done for the last 8 years" I want to know what your expectations are of Obama, and what has bush done to the black people of America, and what has McCain done to blacks of America?
Thank you for your answers.
4 AnswersElections1 decade agoDo you realize that with the bailout that the Dem's gave to wall street that?
they could have given every American man, woman, and child $1million.
Now the average family has 4 people so that is 4 million/family......I think that this would have stimulated the economy quite a bit, and paid off a great deal of mortgages.
what do you think about this? would you have rather paid off wall street, the way the Dem's have done, or received the the million dollar per person, to pay off your debt?
6 AnswersElections1 decade agoThis financial fiasco is Due to Democrats?
Here are the facts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RZVwno2A4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs
Fact is, Republicans warned of this financial melt down, and Dem's took up for Fannie, & Freddie CEO's making millions of dollars in bonuses when they eventually forced to leave. The Dem's wrote this bailout bill, not president bush.....it was either the bailout, or all banks freezing, and millions not getting paid. No I do not agree with bailing out Wall Street....they need to insure themselves, I would not have to be Wall Streets millionaires insurance, nor should you......But you gotta look at who was making money off the banks.....Chris Dodd, Obama, John Kerry are the top 3.....what party do they belong to......Dem's.......the Dem's in congress were making some money for blocking an investigation into their lending activities. And b4 you go off on the keating 5 and Mccain.....out of the 5, McCain was the only Republican, and he did not take the amount of money that the Dem's did.
So knowing all this how can you still vote for Obama, he is even more left than pelosi, dodd, kerry etc. Obama is no better than his friend Raines who made 90 million dollars in less than 6 years....and he is now Obama's financial advisor. This county is going to be in worse shape if Obama is elected, because the Dem's believe that what ever they do is ok....well I am sorry, running our economy into the ground such as they have is not alright with me. Why are you people still supporting Obama?
7 AnswersElections1 decade agoDid you know that the Dem's?
That the Dems was planning on giving 20% of the 700billion dollar bailout to a political group who are supporters of Obama? yes it is a fact and this is why the Republicans are saying no, the other item they were putting or including in this bail out was huge payouts for the CEO's of these failed companies.
yes all facts, Dem's in WAshington want your tax money to go to a group of people who support Obama,, this means that Obama will end up with these tax dollars, because ACORN will take that money, and give it to Obama in political contributions.
Come on people.......this is a blatant misuse of our tax dollars that the democrats want to not just bail out wall street, but make sure that those CEO's make millions, and make sure that Obama gets tax dollars for his campaign by giving 20% to the ACORN group.
So what do you all think about how crooked the Dem's are in congress?
20 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhy is Obama being so rude?
he has on several occasions interrupted McCain during this debate, and McCain has been a perfect gentleman. and just listen to that Muslim educated Obama say Hamas, Pakistan, taliban. gotta love the Muslim educated presidental candidate.
31 AnswersElections1 decade agoDoes the fact that Russian war ships are heading towards the US?
influence who you will be voting for. This is the closest that Russian warships have been since the cold war. It is a known fact that Putin is in the works to make Russian a communist government again, so how does knowing these war ships are nearing our coast influence how you will vote. Knowing that Obama has plans to do away with our nuclear weapons...yeah, Russia, Iran, Tehran, terrorist nations love knowing that Obama is going to make our military weak.
So what do you think?
17 AnswersElections1 decade agoObama says "for 8 years Americans have been struggling"?
Well I don't know about you, but personally me and my family have only been struggling for the last 3. Since the democrats have taken over control of congress. In the last 3 years we have suffered from the highest gas and oil prices ever, the highest food prices ever, record number of foreclosures, and families becoming homeless, families having to eat beans and hot dogs, there has been no help for those on fixed incomes. The Dem's have done nothing to help reduce the price of gas, and we are now looking at at the possibility of paying 5.00 a gallon because of this hurricane.
How long have you been struggling?

5 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoAll Dem Delegates will BOW to Obama?
Ok so we have the "Barackopolis", and have you notices the round stage areas that appear to look like the top of a Mountain.....such as The Dome of the Rock.......Cant wait to see these idiot Dem's having to bow to Obama this evening.
8 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat do you think about Obama?
and how he has set up the Invesco field, to make the stage appear like a temple. I have just seen it and it is true, it does look like a temple. so what do you think about him making himself appear to us Americans and the world as though he is some type of God. It is obvious that he believes and see's himself as some type of God, in which he is not. This action will ceretainly leave a very poor impression of this man with millions of Americans. I say Election lost, what do you say?
20 AnswersElections1 decade agoDemocrats agenda?
Ok so it is finally coming to light how the democratic controlled congress has been and trying to take more money out of our pockets with the most recent being today. The democrats on top of increasing the tax on our incomes they now want to increase the federal gas tax 12 cents on top of the 18.4 cents we are already paying. Their spending is out of control, and their rememdy is to raise taxes on the americans who are already struggling to live and eat as it is. How can you Obama lovers vote for him and other democrats knowing that they are going to raise your taxes on the money you make as well as gas taxes, and these are only to name a few. Why do you want more money taken from you, and why do you want to see the elderly, and poor die. This will be the eventual out come of these americans if you elect demecrats to office...non of us will have anymoney, illegals will have med benefits and will be able to vote for our own president even though they are not a citizen of this country, so when this is done, and they allow foreigners to vote in our elections, then you have to open up our elections to the entire world, otherwise it is wrong to just let one country of non americans vote. How can you in good mind vote democrat, knowing we will have less money to buy gas and food, and this will make us more dependant on foreign oil.
4 AnswersElections1 decade agoDog Coughing?
I have taken her to vet numerous times, regarding this coughing, heart worm test was negative, x-ray was negative just showed scare tissue due to coughing, she is up date on all vaccines. This has been going on for over a year now, and just in vet bills we spend over $200 per visit to get....I don't know what it is, take this prednisone and give it to her once or twice a day as needed for coughing. All that has done is made her gain 15 pounds in the last year. The dog is a West Highland White.
her cough is dry, she coughs and gags, breathing gets difficult for her sometimes to where it looks like she is having to force air out of her lungs. There is no doubt that this animal is misserable, and we are miserable watching her cough so much...does anyone have any clues.
I have decided to switch vets over $200 per visit is crazy.

This problem is with my mothers computer, and yes compaired to todays computers her is ancient. My parents still run windows 98. I have been unable to defrag. computer because the computer locks up when I run the scan disc, therefore the computer does not finish the scan. I know that not being able to defrag it makes it slower, and yes I have shut down the programs running all but explorer and systry....and it still locks the computer up to where I have to manually turn it off.
I am now at a loss as to what to do...they are both retired and on a fixed income, so taking it in to a tech is kinda out of the question. I need some suggestions as to how to get this thing defraged, and hopefully speed it up some.
Thank you for your time.
