Fiscal Conservatives: Are you outraged about the spending on the stimulus package?

If so, you've probably been upset for a good 8 years with all the deficit spending that's been going on. If not, if this anger is new, then you, my friend, are what they call a hypocrite.

    Yeah I was outraged with Bushes spending, Does that somehow make this bill which trumps any Bush spending magically disappear ? I don't believe so . The Republicans in congress offered a bill to replace this one that's half the cost generating twice the jobs, And those jobs will be generated now, Not starting in 2010 like this bill Obama wants to pass.

    God bless.

    What? The stimulus plan is 10 years worth of Iraq funds and could no longer help all people yet government officers and their bankers. freeing human beings, giving infants a secure place to strengthen up and get an preparation, giving women human beings rights that they have by no potential had earlier and exhibiting the international that the mid east could have a functioning democracy truly of a gaggle of truly violent nut jobs who care approximately no longer something yet oil salary and killing all people who's in comparison to them is a robust use of money. Letting obama pay returned all the charges to the folk who helped him purchase his workplace with next to no longer something in return isn't a robust thank you to spend my money. you probable truly pay taxes if in any respect and that i'm confident you have no longer outfitted a enterprise with over 40 workers via the age of 26 like I truly have. hence you have no longer any thought what happens interior the real international. positioned down the video game and study a e book. devoid of an preparation you will proceed to make stupid errors such as you probably did on your question. via the way college would not count selection as an preparation. I truly have 3 stages. All 3 I earned on an identical time mutually as i became into working my own cellular detailing enterprise interior the real international with 3 different workers that does no longer have had I activity if I had no longer created one for them. each little thing college tried to instruct me had to be forgotten earlier i ought to alter into helpful interior the real international. college is nearly a comic strip, its a dream international have been fact performs no area.

    Yes and yes. I was highly upset with the spending that Bush allowed. Funny thing is that no one else (including the opposing party) thought so. Why is it that you are pointing this out now vs seven years ago? One might consider this a smoke-screen for your politician to do what he wants.....funny how you get upset with a man out-of-office only when the man currently in office is doing the exact same thing.....wierd.

    Yes. And yes. I was upset with Bush's spending and I'm more outraged with this "stimulus" package. Yeah, I'm not a hypocrite.

    Bush's stimulus didn't work. There is no evidence Obama's will either. It's mostly just government spending anyways when it should have been more tax cuts and a check for a couple hundred bucks to hard working Americans. Create more capital to hire, and give people just enough to go shopping creating a need.

    Nice try , but I have been pissed at Bush's out of control spending for the last 4 years. It was grossly negligent and ignorant.

    Now the enlightened, genius, Obomba comes along and triples Bush's spending practically overnight?!

    Either he's an absolute idiot or he is purposely doing this to gain more power and control for the federal government?

    Which do you think it is?

    Like i've been saying... new set of politicians, same old crap. I couldn't run my household for very long by spending more than i make but i guess i'm not spending other people's money like the government is.

    The Bush administration was controlled by special interest lobbyists. Obama said that would change but in fact he's done nothing but appoint lobbyists since he took office. More BS change to not believe in. If that doesn't anger you, whether you're democrat or republican, then you, my leftist friend, are what is called an imbecile.

    i hate deficit spending, sometimes it is needed but for the most part then need to shrink government,not raise taxes

    Yes! Bush was not a fiscal Conservative. I'm sick of the government thinking they can fix this problem when they are the problem.
