Pelosi: "We need another 150 billion."

[man4allcats]

Well, that didn't take long. Thanks, Nancy. I was wondering how long it would take you to pull this crap.

"DENVER — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says a second economic stimulus plan is needed now because of the faltering economy and she puts the price at $150 billion."

1. Why don't you fucking go ask your rich friends for it? nt

[Lance_Boyle]

2. I'll take my $600 in shares of AIG this time, Nancy.

No, wait... shouldn't this $600 be *in addition to* the shares of AIG I'm owed?

[gatorboy]

NO shit! When do they start handing out SHARES to us???

[Donnachaidh]

3. who is going to get THIS handout? They've covered Wal Street and the carmakers

Who is next - Big Oil? :sarcasm:

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. You and me, she is going at try two for that

[last1standing]

4. No more till the thieves are out of office!

When Obama has an honest person in position to handle this mess, THEN I'll consider supporting more cash.

[Blue_Tires]

no no no

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Here more detail

The House did pass a $61 billion economic aid proposal last month before lawmakers left Capitol Hill ahead of the Nov. 4 election. But a similar plan failed to pass the Senate.

Before you go screaming too high, she means another checks to be distributed to get people, aka you and me, some help

Not only did the Senate not pass it, but the Presnit threatened to veto it

She MIGHT be able to do this now...

THis is the bottom up that is needed... as well

[Mojorabbit]

13. It did not work last time

remember them saying it would create a hundred thousand jobs? This country is broke. Use the money to create an infrastructure project that will create jobs instead.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. That is besides the point... but I at least like to have good data

and that was misrepresenting the story

Now what we need is a WPA now

We need the every so popular buying of bad house loans, and the FDR program

But I am a stickler for the truth...

[Occulus]

36. How about high-speed rail?

Like in Japan. We have great, long tracs of very flat land that would be perfect for a high-speed rail network connecting the Midwest together, and to (and up and down) the coasts.

Say it with me, everyone: JOBS PROJECT.

[girl gone mad]

40. Agreed.

Giving the money directly to consumers did not work last spring. People saved and paid down debt.

The money would go further if spent directly on infrastructure and green energy projects. It needs to be more than 150B, too.

[man4allcats]

39. Thanks for the insight.

I must admit I could use a little extra cash about now. I'm feeling about $2,300.00 lighter after last week's fiasco.

"Okay, Nancy. Sure! Since we've already given the lion's share to a bunch of rich fucks that made the mess in the first place, I guess we all might as well get at least a pittance out of it. God knows, as taxpayers we've certainly taken some pretty sound hits in the last few days. I believe we are entitled. Oh and by the way, thanks for thinking of us as you bail out, er rescue your rich friends."

[NNN0LHI]

6. I could use some walking around money

I have been a little financially embarrassed lately.

And any Pelosi haters can send their check to me if they don't need theirs. Any takers?

Don

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. that's what this one is about

she tried last month, but bush said veto and senate would not pass

Remember the check you got in the summer? That's what they're talking about

[mainegreen]

7. Who are these morons?

And how did they get so stupid?

[bemildred]

21. Insufficient culling of the herd. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. They don't believe in evolution, therefore

they have teeny little frontal cortex and huge gigantic reptilian back brain.
So all they can really do is eat,sleep, and fuck over people for money.

It's an instinct thing.

[OhioChick]

9. Hell No! n/t

[KansDem]

10. Get a second job! (nt)

[closeupready]

12. When Barack wins, he needs to replace her, if possible.

with Marcy Kaptur. She seems to get it, whereas Pelosi is clueless.

[B Calm]

15. They tried this shit just before the Great Depression and it didn't work!

Why in hell do they think it will now? All those billions could have been spent rebuilding the infrastructure of this country. Thousands of high paying jobs would have been created and the economy would have taken off again, but no, we have to give the money to Wall Street. . .

[HereSince1628]

16. They want hobos to rebuild the infrastructure on the cheap

so that the CEOs can enjoy smooth roads all the way to the well manicured country clubs.

[Taverner]

22. Why do you think they are trying to burn through the treasury now?

They don't want that cash there for an Obama administration

That way, they wouldn't be able to force our children into prostitution

[pokerfan]

17. Isn't that figure about the same as the amount of pork

that got added to last week's $700B?

[OhioChick]

18. Yep. Use that. n/t

[man4allcats]

20. I believe you're right.

The pork plus this would bring it to an even trillion. And that ain't chump change!

[pokerfan]

28. "We need more."

[Azlady]

19. Give it to US! This is I N S A N E!!!!!!!!!!

They have NO faith in US at all! On NO They put all their faith into the ones that screwed our economy up!! Oh here you go, here is another 150 bil, spend it well on your $400,000 junkits and bailing out your Billionare FRIENDS!!


Give it to US the taxpayers and WE can fix this screwed up economy!

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. SHHH this is what she is talking about

she tried before, but the bill didn't move through the senate and bush threatened to veto

Didn't work last time around, but this is not for wall street

[Dukkha]

23. you already got your allowance, spoiled brat!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. Nice deal. You give us $850bn, we'll give you $150bn back..after you give us $150bn more.

[Ezlivin]

29. Put in on my tab

I'll pay up as soon as I'm through with my heavy drinking...

[Azlady]

30. They should have

given us the 700 Billion, they keep the 150 Billion to pass out to their friends in high places!

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. TAX THE RICH! Let them pony up the $$$$$$$! Time for their free ride to be over.

[trof]

32. Sure, here ya go. Just put it on my MasterCard. No problem.

33. You Know What Nancy? Up Yours Too.....

[JonQ]

[sarcasmo]

37. Fuck, NO!
