Aren't the stimulus packages supposed to help us? If so, then how come they involve spending tons of money that we don't have?
I also kind of wanted people's opinions about President Obama now that he's been in office for a while.
I kind of think that he's not as experienced. Obama had great dreams of change for this nation, but dreams are just thoughts if they don't have plans.A question about what President Obama has been doing lately?He is allowed to spend money we don't have (2Trillion in just 100 days, more then past two presidents stretching decade combined) because he is going to implement something that everyone in this country can do when they are so far into debt that they don't know what to do. And that is called filing for bankruptcy. Of course he is not going to come out and say it like that but that is exactly where we are heading. Other countries are already pulling their money out of the dollar as their reserve currency and urged others to do the same at the G20 event. With this influx of money into the system without any product to back it the Americans will see hyperinflation take hold when we think we have gotten out of this recession. The president will then wipe the debt clean and create a new currency (perhaps with Canada and Mexico like they did with the Euro) at which time each American will be paid something like 10 cents for every dollar they own in new currency and we will start fresh. But at the same time this could trigger massive wars and outrages across the globe considering we just ripped off the world and they want their money in the form of natural resources and goods back. But it will also create a balance in the global economy again for you would be wiping out the biggest lender (China) and the biggest debtor (USA) thus redistributing the global wealth.
Or maybe we will just try to maintain confidence in the dollar and pay our ways out of it over the next 100 years. Don't forget however that the government also owes approximately 50 TRILLION dollars to medicare and social security that it robbed from the babyboomers to pay for other projects. So you make up your mind on who is going to get screwed in the end.A question about what President Obama has been doing lately?You are smarter than most. He tells us not to use credit cards (which is correct) while charging a credit card called the US treasury to the max.A question about what President Obama has been doing lately?You're welcome to your opinion, but if your patience level is such that you expect problems that started developing with Ronald Reagan to be fixed in 100 days, then you can anticipate a lot of disappointment in your life.sorry, but i see him as typical democrat. spend your way out of any problem, worry about taxing the nation to death later.
the answer is NOT to spend, and it NOT to raise taxes on all of us (yes, all of us, not just those %26quot;rich elite%26quot;).
but he wanted to be viewed as doing something, taking a proactive stance, so he passed the %26quot;spend our grandkids into debt act of 2009%26quot;.
my assessment of him so far? idealistic and naive, ambivalent on many issues, not with thought out plans or strategies, and the nation will ultimately suffer for it.The changes he wants to implement does nothing to help America.

FACTS:
Without Congressional approval, the President now has the power to transfer whole populations to any part of the country, the power to suspend the Press and to force a national registration of all persons. The President, in essence, has dictatorial powers never provided to him under the Constitution. The President has the power to suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in a real or perceived emergency. Unlike Lincoln and Roosevelt, these powers are not derived from a wartime need, but from any crisis, domestic or foreign, hostile or economic. Roosevelt created extraordinary measures during the Great Depression, but any President faced with a similar, or lesser, economic crisis now has extraordinary powers to assume dictatorial status.
%26quot; Maybe this is a reason that Obama took control of the Census program right away after being sworn into office?Notice where it says hostile or ECONOMIC.And in a real or PERCEIVED emergency.
