Col, who's gonna pay for all this when the bill comes due for 900 billion dollars? My grandchildren? You can't just print money and throw it out into the public, or should I say to the same companies who have us in this mess now? They were not practical in their lending practices and caused the mortgage meltdown, now we give them more money? Ever here of inflation? With that kind of influx of cash into the economy with no accountability, money wasted on PORK and double digit inflation is sure to follow close behind.

The Government just keeps creating social programs that reward people for not wanting to succeed in life. Did you know Welfare and food stamps were originaly created for coal miners who were laid off in the winter months? They used to have to pay it back when they went back to work. What a concept huh? Earn your way through life, who would have ever thunk such a thing? Now the welfare/food stamp program has become a two headed monster that needs fed with no chance of cutting off it's head. That's fair to me as a business owner to pay more taxes for people who find it more profitable to not work?

I came from one of the poorest neighborhoods in Indy and two parents who were so poor they couldn't rub two nichols together, yet they never asked the Goverment for one dime. They made me go to school and taught me work ethics some couldn't even imagine. They broke the cycle with me, they taught me that anything worth having takes dedication and hard work, not the Goverment handing me everyone else's hard earned tax dollars.

If you think life is to hard and you just want a hand out from our Goverment, you deserve to starve. If you want nice things and expendable income, get off the couch and go to work. You get out of this life what you put in it, if you put no effort forth, you deserve no rewards for it. I guess by most of your responces your a staunch Democrat. I also assume after you read mine you will assume I am a Republican. Well, you would be wrong on the second. I am just an American who exercises my right to vote, not left or right, but who will benefit me and my ideas of what my Goverment should and shouldn't do.

If you think that bill is not loaded with pork and will create more companies that will become dependant on tax payer subsidy, you truly are blind to facts. With Obamas plan of just throwing good money after bad you will have to trade recession with depression!!!
