As our country struggles with an economic mess that is beyond comprehension for most of us, our new President is struggling to get a stimulus package passed. In a time where we would expect our politicians would put aside their idiotic opinions for the good of our country, we have people like Sen. Richard Shelby (R) from Alabama who wish to instill FUD [fear, uncertainty and doubt].
Sen. Richard Shelby has stated:
“This is not the right road to go. We’ll pay dearly.”
After listening to all the wind bags from both parties, I don’t believe that there is any 100% guarantee of a solution to fix this mess. The only person who spoke on the issue that made any sense was Donald Trump. When asked if any stimulus package would work, he said that he wasn’t sure because we have not been down this road before.
I agree with Mr. Trump. Neither the Republicans nor Democrats can guarantee any stimulus package will work. What won’t help any of us is to have a gas bag like Shelby spew more gloom and doom to scare us when what we need is confidence. Confidence in ourselves and in our country to get through this together.
What do you think?

Isn’t speading doom and gloom to scare us exactly what Obama and his minions are doing? Have you read what is in the “stimulas” package? We were told back in October by Nancy Pelosi that if TARP wasn’t passed right away…..doom, gloom, but we’re still here and all that money did nada.
This bill rewards people for being unproductive. Lots of people are for it. They see themselves getting a check for doing nothing. They spend it, then what?

I think you’re right. As for the path, Charlie Rose has had numerous economists on his program, from both leanings politically, and the vast concensus is that spending now is what is needed, for if we don’t, we might not ever need to woryy about the debt load in a year or two.
