Pork from what project? Quit talking in riddles....His original stimulus package had to be revised because every POS Republican voted against it. Like they wanted to see some kind of recovery?

I suggest you try and do the same....

Whatever....I haven't heard the White house whining like the Conservatives have. The goal is to work past the depression that your piece of shit party and president is responsible for.

And yes, his original stimulus package had to be revised. Don't make me find the fuckin' thing. Get over it. It's been passed and you're just going to have to deal with it. Bitch and moan all you want. People like you belong in a padded room so you can beat your head against the wall all you'd like.

HERE.......Geezus!


Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Democrats and Republicans are seeking changes worth tens of billions of dollars to President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package as the U.S. Senate debates the approximately $900 billion measure.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said lawmakers will take up a plan to add $25 billion in highway and infrastructure funds. Some Democrats want to use $50 billion to stem housing foreclosures while dropping other spending critics say would do little to create jobs. Republicans seek temporary federal underwriting of low-interest fixed-rate mortgages.

“Most people recognize that housing is at the root of the current economic downturn,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. “So we should fix this problem before we do anything else.”

Obama discounted the differences over the stimulus legislation yesterday, calling them “very modest.” Democratic congressional leaders met with him yesterday at the White House about the measure. A White House statement said, “They agreed on the urgency of passing effective legislation in the short term and committed to continue working together to achieve the bipartisan consensus” that Obama has sought.

The Senate began work on the bill in hopes of getting a measure to Obama’s desk by mid-February. The House passed its version of the bill without any Republican votes.

CBO Report

Democrats, buffeted by complaints the House plan would take too long to boost the economy, got good news yesterday when the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the Senate’s version would have a quicker impact. The agency said the Senate’s plan, which it estimated would cost $885 billion, would pump about $700 billion into the economy by the end of next year.

That would amount to almost 80 percent of the package. Obama has said his goal is to have three-quarters of the money funneled into the economy within 18 months. The CBO said the House bill would inject about 64 percent of its package into the economy by the end of 2010.

“The objective is to have a bill of less than $900 billion,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said today.

Lawmakers will consider an amendment by Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington state, that would increase funding for highway, mass transit and water infrastructure projects by $25 billion. That would boost highway funding in the bill to $40 billion from $27 billion.

‘Tried and True’

“Construction projects across the country have been put on hold because states simply don’t have the money,” said Murray. “This amendment invests in tried-and-true projects that get laid-off workers back on the job.”

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, said lawmakers will consider an amendment offering companies an 85 percent discount on taxes on corporate profits earned abroad. The plan, sponsored by California Democrat Barbara Boxer and Nevada Republican John Ensign, would cut taxes for this year and next year to 5.25 percent from as much as 35 percent.

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, said he and about eight other lawmakers want at least $50 billion in the stimulus package for programs aimed at fighting housing foreclosures.

‘Less Value’

“We are really trying to reduce things that have less value in terms of stimulus and investment and move it into a place where we know we really need the money,” he said. Conrad said lawmakers haven’t agreed on what they would cut from the plan to make room for their proposal.

Senator Ben Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat who complained the plan includes funds to develop environmentally sensitive spacecraft, said “more than a handful” of lawmakers are working on a plan to cut “tens of billions” from the plan they believe would do little to create jobs. Nelson, who said he won’t support the stimulus plan as currently written, wouldn’t give specifics.

McConnell warned Democrats against expanding the stimulus package, saying many of his colleagues believe it is already too big. He also criticized “Buy American” provisions in the bill that would require iron and steel used in projects funded by the measure to be American-made.

“I don’t think we ought to use a measure that is supposed to be timely, temporary and targeted to set off trade wars,” he said. “It’s a very bad idea.”

Hoyer said such concerns, also expressed to him by European Union officials and the Canadian ambassador, are “justified” and that Democrats will consider changes to the proposal.

The only thing you bring to the table is fear mongering tirades. It passed, so you can go on beating your head about "what if" and "how could it?" The only intelligent thinking you bring is negativity to what YOU PERCEIVE to be doom and gloom forecasts. Keep praying and preaching. If the economy turns, he will get re-elected and if I die that day, it'll take the coroner a week to pry the grin off my face knowing you'll be a sad little republican.

LMAO so you are telling me spending more would help us. WOW you really are blind bro. That info came directly from obama admin. Obama himself and his team of crooks. This whole stimulus was a giant government spending spree payback for all the nutjobs who supported this loser

Are you just figuring this out now kid?? There has to be something wrong with all of them ... Like a drug or something .. How can anyone in their right mind be defending someone as he destroys our country??

[insidethe8thpol]

Wrong about what??? Are you friggin' deaf?

He said in that Fox tape in January, "if we don't act swiftly, we could see double digit unemployment."

What part of, He NEVER said, "I'll keep unemployment under 8%." didn't you get? That was what Dimer and I were arguing about. Your rebuttal blows...

He was exactly right, Congress didn't pass his initial stimulus package, unemployment has risen to double digit numbers and it had to be revamped and cut, and then they passed it. OH, AND BY THE WAY, THE GDP ROSE 3.5% LAST QUARTER...UH OH!


Keep preachin' your fear mongering Husker. You guys are doing a bang up job! That economy is sneaking up on you. Better batten down the hatches, you could be cryin' for another 7 years.

Ever see this chart from his 2 top Economic Advisors on the $787 Billion PORK BILL passed as Stimulus ??



Only way you can keep denying is by using the same thing: Fear Mongering & Neo Cons

[insidethe8thpol]

Remember how the Porkulus Bill was passed and everyone admitted they never read it and yet the Popularity Contest Winner praised its quick passage. What is the difference between 2004 & 2009 ??



He's King Popularity !!

How come he is not telling everyone to have a clear debate on HealthCare ??

Trashing all Republicans, nice job there Kaz.

So all Republicans are pieces of shit, that is very nice. And you wonder why sometimes people draw sides and wont look at another persons veiwpoint. Dont back peddle out of this either, your exact words was EVERY.

[husker]

it's the leftwingnut koolaide, they are drunk on it. all the insulting, angry posts just show they have NOTHING to defend the chosen one and most of the dem party (all it's leaders). next year when people vote a lot of the clowns out, rep's could easily be the majority party and rein in the community activist. THAT'S why they are so desperate to pass things, the clock is ticking faster and faster.
