Second Stimulus? Obama's Package May Be A Stimulus By Another Name

salon.com:

Call it the the stimulus that dare not be named. Bloomberg reports that the Obama administration is considering "a mix of spending programs and tax cuts to respond to widening job losses that would amount to an additional economic stimulus without carrying that label."

Obama needs to do actual reform instead of just talk & plan

I think these proposals have merit and should be implemented. I also believe the first time homebuyers credit should be extended. Add to that a credit for new hires with rules in place to prevent scamming and I think this could make a lot of difference in the next year.

SO you want them there again? Do you think they will change things then? Why not now?

What people don't seem to get no matter how obvious is that THEY ARE WORKING ON THE SAME TEAM! THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY THE SAME PEOPLE! YOU LIVE IN A BANKING CASINO GULAG! ITs just going to get worst and worst until revolution.

Wouldn't it be great if some of this money came from the richest 1%. Like 75% of the money came from taxing that 1%. Dang this is making me mad, I'm not against another stimulus but I'm really against the rich and the corporations sitting back and getting the breaks. Enough is enough some of this money needs to go to the people that have already been kicked to the curb or don't they matter anymore.

tax cuts, I cringe everytime I hear the word...it is always an excuse to transfer more wealth from the have nots to the have mores.

Someone needs to write something about how Obama still doesn't get it. He can spend money until he's blue in the face. It's nt spending money but what he spends it on that matters. How about spending money on subways, light rail and redesinging cities around the foot and mass transportation. How about getting the word out that it's past time to relocalize. How about spending more money on windmills and solar thermal energy.
how about telling people the truth about how we're all going to have to learn to make do with less.
how about telling people that we need to live within our means.

as far as i'm concerned..., obama may as well be regean, bush, clinton or bush II
he is no jimmy carter

Exactly Infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure, he blew it completely and The Brookings Institute had laid out an entire program for it, plus it pays for itself ten fold even more so over time..!

Obama's first stimulus only sent a miserly 3-4% for Infrastructure...

All he and Geithner cared about was rewarding corrupt bankers...and not even reforming them or their corrupt culture of greed and predatory practices..!

Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Muammar Qaddafi and Vladimir Putin have all praised Barack Obama. When enemies of freedom and democracy praise your president, what are you to think? When you add to this Barack Obama's many previous years of associations and alliances with people who hate America-- Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfleger, etc.-- at what point do you stop denying the obvious and start to connect the dots?

The first stimulus was to grease the pipeline. Were you expecting that the first stimulus would not go to pay off people?
