obama knows exactly what he is doing and pushing for.

Evil to the american way of life. This stimulus is not a stimulas its away to distribute the wealth to radical groups like acorn and to weaken this country so that radical enamies can invade us.

Freezing wages to save those on Social Security at the cost of those with low wage jobs is a pathetically selfish request. You would rather see a single working mom have less money to feed her kids than cut off your cable to save a few bucks. I’m sorry you didn’t provide for your own retirement, but don’t make others pay the price of your failure. Wow. Was freezing wages your first idea? Subsidizing your own Social Security by selling things or earning a bit never came to mind? Even asking for more money to keep up with the inflation you apparently didn’t figure into your gov’t paid retirement plan would be better than asking hard-working people to sacrifice their and their children’s stability and hopes for a better life. Sorry. I’m off my meds, but you know I’m right.

I have heard on network TV accounts of pork, such as 10 million for protection of field mice. Where do they get that information, if true, and where could I get it?

How does congress now how the taxpayers feel and what they want and need? Every Representative has on his or internet site the following information, I will only answer inquiries from people who reside and vote in my district. They are spending your tax monies and we can not voice our concerns to them:TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. Who do they think they are? Who do they answer to? I think that they are breaking the oath they took when they were sworn into office when they have the above statement on their website. Looks like the only ones they are looking after is themselves and flaunt it in our faces. They think the taxpayers are stupid and cannot see what is going on. I have written letters to Rep. Pelosi, Rep. Jackson Lee, and a certified to Rep. David Obey which were never answered because they reserve the right to only answer to the people of their district. If you would like some more comments from me please advise because this is just a piece of the iceberg.

I saw that too.. the bill is over 1000 pages and they just received it last night for a vote today. Maybe they were given a cliffs notes of changes.. regardless this bill is a joke and the defense of “it won’t be perfect” is a poor excuse.

I would like to know how $800 billion producing 3 million jobs is a good plan. That’s over $250,000 per job. That’s not a good investment of tax dollars.

You must put a freeze on wages, because every time wages are increased, the cost of food and utility go up. My wife and I are on social security and find it expensive to maintain a house and pay taxes. I would like to know if the stimulus packages is going to help the people on social security.
