They are much more aware of what is going on with American Idol than they are about the economy. However, the fact that this "stimulus package" is a huge scam, paid for by even more borrowed money, is not lost on them. I think we sometimes need to remind ourselves that the "news" here isn't real. That includes the "news" about our thoughts and opinions as Americans. We're not as stupid as they make us out to be. The vast majority of us, despite being American, still have common sense. Every single person I have talked to about this "stimulus" check is going to save it or use it to pay a bill or two. Once again, this plan is going to blow up in our faces and everyone will say, "If we only knew". It's time to kick out the vast majority of our Congressional representatives. Enough is enough.

While some readily believe the crap they spew forth, most are too well aware of the lies and cover-ups, but frustrated they can do so little about it. <b>WWW</b> - one moment it is the "spend not save" mentality of the American people that has got us into this mess, next it is the irresponsibility of Americans who rein in their spending. How insulting, that they truly believe we are asses. Flimsy – one of the great insults to flow from the mouths of these people is their underestimation of the mentality of the working classes.

I was gobsmacked with this latest one and where the hell is he borrowing it from? The Saudi Arabians he held hands with last week? In return for higher oil costs? And isn't 'spending' the same big cure-all suggested by The Incumbent himself after 9/11? Isn't it the shopping/spending frenzy that has landed the country into such a huge dung heap? No savings, sub-prime mortgages and cheap Chinese Tchotchkes from Wal-Mart displayed in every home would maybe have a small part in this? And he wants more of the same, subsidized by the oil lords? A temporary sedative to prevent his own lynching by the slobbering homeless masses. Barking mad. Howling at the moon. XO WWW The Monty Python element ratchets up daily, it seems.

Their policies of deregulation and free market trade have led to this and now they are scared that if it collapses, they will lose power for decades. I wonder how long they can prop the market up with crazy stories like unemployment is down. I don’t understand how these people can call themselves “fiscal conservatives” and “free market believers”.
