The stimulus bill passed the house with a 59-41 vote. (Yes the 2 independents are Democrats, Lieberman is liberal and the other guy is a self-proclaimed socialist), there is very very little chance the Senate won't approve the bill. This largest spending bill in US history seems inevitable!
Now do you agree with it?

The $819 billion measure has attracted criticism from Republicans and, privately, from some Democrats for spending billions of dollars on Democratic favorites like education despite questions as to whether they would really put people to work.
What do you all think????:confused:

The only economic stimulus that has done any good so far is the Obama election stimulating gun sales.

I think in the short term it MIGHT not be so bad. In the long run it will only hurt the economic outlook of the US evenn more. Everyone should research the "Federal" Reserve Bank. Then you will see our real problem. I still love guns though, lol.

I wish I would've bought stock in some gun manufactures 6 months ago.

I'm with MrReady, kinda on the fence. The short term it might help but it will likely make things worse in the long run.
The $700B+ bailout didn't seem to do a whole hell of a lot, I'm not really sure how much good they think this will really do.
