Here in the crowded East we need more public transportation. The stimulus funds that provide for the improvement and operations of light rail and buses will also provide good jobs. I praying that the stimulus package is passed. I assume Pamela prospered under the Republican administration of the last 8 years, but it was a miserable time for me.

He intends to confiscate money from productive taxpayers and re-distribute it, like candy, to non productive people who nevertheless make up a substantial segment of the electorate. His strategy is based on vote buying and raw politics. Once this initial money is distributed, it will dissipate quickly like a flash in a pan, and we'll be right back where we were when it started thereby prompting Obama to design and implement successive plans which will bear euphemistic labels but which will be calculated to solidify his political power. The whole endeavor is analogous to a Ponzi Scheme.</p> <p>That portion of the scheme that he labels as an infrastructure program is being slapped dashed and cobbled together in a precipitous manner that will be conducive for vast amounts of graft, bribery and poor quality control to permeate the system resulting in boondoggles of a dimension that defies the ability to define it in quantitative or qualitative terms.</p> Bob: That portion of the Obama Plan which he labels as "tax cuts" has nothing to do with stimulating the economy.

I don't feel very hopeful that they will even take a second look at tax cutting alternatives to stimulate spending and job growth. I despair for our country in the liberals hands. How could people have voted for this? I'm sure this is why our public schools put out such an inferior product. I think our only hope is through prayer. Do you have any other suggestions for me?
