Hey … $69 a month is coming your way

We do this as a public service and I respect the President enough not to cut it up. That actually would not be fair. But, stimulus? You decide. For some maybe, if you are in construction or work for the state … oh and green jobs. But along with a pile of debt your grand children will have to pay for. Party all night. Two videos. Point, counterpoint.

Here’s the President’s You Tube address. Pay attention to the beginning as he explains where the 3 million jobs will be created (construction, police, fire) and which small businesses will get loans (green companies that couldn’t make it on their own). 

Oh … I am sorry … some of you will also get a swell $69 a month. That’s at 1:45

OK … he won and he wants green energy and he believes construction jobs will boost the economy. We’ll see. It’s his agenda. But at what cost?

    I wonder how he is going to determine "responsible homeowners?"  And how do you "get exploding deficits under control" by increasing them by orders of magnitude? 

    Did he "inherit the trillion dollar deficit" or create it?   I thought Bush only put us in the tank for about half a trillion?  I guess blaming Bush is a habit that dies hard, especially when it is used as a way to cover your own butt.

    Recognizing that Pres. Bush had a hand in putting us into the deficit mega-hole would be a good start, and might give his defenders at least some credibility. Who is covering whose butt?

    Could not even bear to listen to the whole clip.

    Three words – Stimulus, my foot.

    Bush: half a trillion.   Obama: several trillion.

    I think I know which butt to kick…

    I think we need to go far back as Clinton era or even to Daddy Bush
