Yes. I thought Paul did a poor job of phrasing it, and of course the moderators would not allow him to demand an answer. McCain is very weak on economics, and strong on war. It says a lot about the rank and file, as well as independents, that they continue to vote for this guy. He's the exact OPPOSITE of what we need right now, and basically benefiting from "cult of personality" politics. Yeah, I caught that while listening on RPR-Radio. They have all stolen chunks of Paul's platform. What's even more ironic is that Giuliani would say this, while endorsing sanctions on Iran. If trade "really" is the answer, the sanctions are the problem.
I'm guessing the campaign will be working to get some "sunshine" on it. ... considering he openly mocked Ron Paul for saying the exact same thing in an earlier debate when he talked about a non-interventionist foreign policy.
What the way elections are managed under Chavez even president Bush could get reelelcted here in 2008
How about this one from Mr. 911? Quote: "And then I think we have to look at the rise of China as a wonderful opportunity. I see 20 million or 30 million people coming out of poverty in China every year. To me, that's 20 million or 30 million more customers for the United States." What about the 20-30 million Americans that are slipping away from middle class to poverty you traitor scumbag!
But most people working those jobs understand that they are temporary and don't spend the money they earn, they just save it so it really doesn't boost the economy.
Many who get the rebates have money and do not spend it, many others will simply spend it on bills they already owe. This helps the economy how? I don't think either way is a winner, one way however is actually getting something done that needs to be done anyways.
The rebate only helps the Chinese economy. We're going to borrow the money from them, then we're going to pay off the securities they hold, or we're going to buy their cheap goods. I hope everyone is enjoying watching the country get sold out, little by little.
That is a lot my worthwhile that sending more money to China and Mexico. The package also contains a subprime bailout raising the limit on Federal Housing Administration loans from $362,000 to as high as $729,750 allowing more subprime mortgage holders to refinance into federally insured loans. It also provides a one-year boost to the cap on loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy, from $417,000 up to $729,750 in high-cost markets. There's also some proposals to extend unemployment benefits to 52 weeks and increase food stamp payments. Doesn't seem like too much stimulus to me abd a lot of potental loses for government backed mortgages. I should get $2400 if I understand it right for which I'll use to stimulate my bank account.
