The stimulus swindle.

Big Business first convinced Bush to help! The caricaturist is wrong!
The American people got conned.....but our gov't is out of its league. Big business has runned this country into the ground and they have yet to apologize, while they greedily gulp up the bail out money. They have no shame as they ask for more money. This country is on a course of destruction slowly devouring itself. Throwing money at this issue won't change a thing. I fear this country is out of control, and has no idea how to change direction.

Don't get me wrong, I do have good feelings about Obama but only time will tell! Yes we cannabis!

I just watched Michael Moore's Sicko last night about the Health care system in America and it was disgusting how monetary gains run our hospitals in comparison to Europe and Canada. Billy Tauzin is now a CEO for a pharma company that he helped make huge gains through his medicare stunt....and makes more than 2 million a year.

The Patriot Act, Billy "corrupt" Tauzin R of Louisiana's big medicare give away to big Pharma, were rammed throught without most of the House and Senate reading the bill.
Nlo one complained too loudly about that one, but then the republicons controlled both houses then.

The only way to get money flowing in the economy is to spend, unfortunately. And if we plan short term like our wonderfully managed corporations (sarcasm) there will be no long term benefits. Repuplicons are against anything that will be long term despite the fact that it might make recovery last longer.

I think all the republicons who are against the light rail and other possibilities refuse any help for their states and be honest instead of hypocritical. Some are even talking about how they got certain things in this bill, lol, and they voted against it.
One Rep. R was on TV doing that and the anchor said after that he had actually voted against the bill. I guess that shows the intellect of the people in his district.

As with any plan we make, whether for a vacation,[party or wedding for example. You can't fairly say it doesn't work until it has taken place, and turns out good or bad.. This might work. It is a step in the right direction, no thanks to the REPUBLICANS. Why are the Republicans so adamant about always voting against the Democrats? Shouldn't their main concern be what is best for the people instead of following the tradition of combatant attitude? Wouldn't it be nice to abolish DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS and just have a group of people in congress working for the betterment of the country instead of against each other?

Oh I'm sorry, were we supposed to be handing out more bailouts to executives and crooked banks? Maybe we should be giving more money to oil companies and pharmaceuticals? Did the poor Republicans not get their way and have the money go to the richest of the rich? Poor things!

charisma and wishful thinking lead the day...not common sense...oh well.....who is on the left on the sketch,Pelosi?

I love the fact that no matter what transpires with the stimulus package the Republicans will be remembered 4 years from now that they did not approve of trying to save our economy from collapse and that their lack of initiative will show the American people what assholes they really are except for the three Republicans who voted - Yes I can!

Shawn,I don't always agree with what you have to say but this time you are right on the money. Good job!

If the "con is on" we are used to it (unfortunately) we've been conned for the past 8 years in a major way, hopefully this will be better.

I don't see how it's a swindle. Health care costs of the recently unemployed will be payed up to 60%(Cobra) by the government. Tax breaks will be given to college students and married couples. Additionally, a cap on CEO salaries/bonuses has been added(applies to companies that have recently received funding from the US government). workers will also get an additional $13 dollars in every pay check.

The pic is way cool - but I love me some Democrats.

Obama will lead us into the light and out of the Republican darkness.

Yes we can.
