The following sums in this Act are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes.

Uh, fellas, the Treasury is BROKE. You all have been spending money you don't have for DECADES now. Money being appropriated is money you don't have, never have had, and not likely to get. Are you going to raise taxes to try to come up with that money? Ever hear the phrase "trying to squeeze blood from a turnip"? People are out of work, so employment taxes are evaporating. People aren't spending as much money because they are either out of work (meaning no paycheck) or are AFRAID that next month they may be out of a job. That means reduced state sales taxes AND corporate income taxes on those profits that have evaporated. So then they have to lay off people, which starts this spiral on another loop.
Your only choice is to print up money. Which, just in case none of you have noticed, then SCREWS THE DAYLIGHTS out of everyone who has had the foresight to SAVE money for the rainy days that are happening right now. if you create a trillion dollars out of thin air, than means everyone's dollars are now less valuable because the more money put into circulation, the less valuable it is. So companies selling products and services have to ask for more of them because they are worth less. So then people find that those goods and services have gotten "too expensive" (not realizing that this is not the case at all, their MONEY has just become less valuable), so they then stop buying those goods and services. Uh...are you guys in Washington D.C. GETTING this yet?

This, so called Stimulus package, makes me so angry smoke comes out of every orifice in my body.
Don't these politicians have any shame?
All they do is payback so they can get elected again.
We, the people, need to scream and holler for Congressional term limits.
Remember TARP a few months back? They were supposed to have all these oversights to make sure the money was spent for the intended purposes.
Well, no body knows where the money went and the economy has gotten worse.
Our buddy Barney Franks gave $12 Billion to a financial institution which did not meet the requirements for a loan and he keeps getting reelected.
Is there no outrage for this lunacy?
More job loses, more people losing their homes, more companies going out of business, etc.
I am really, really upset over this.
