Whoa Nellie!Jan 18th, 2008 - 20:17:36

My local news station reported this morning that the money Bush is going to hand out, has been tentatively reserved for individuals who make $85,000.00 a year, and couples who make $110,000.00 and above. Please tell me he's not going to hand out freebies to the wealthy! If he wants people to take this money, and go spend it, give it to the middle class and the poor!! I would love to go on a shopping spree at the mall with that money. I need new jeans and boots but can't afford it after the mortgage payment. Why should the people who are already spending money on themselves get even more? I hope this isn't the truth.

It is a shame that a person who has failed in business as many time as GWB is now trying to fix this mess. This is GWB and the Republican'ts mess, now the guy who has had a problem balancing his own checkbook, and who spends like no President in history is going to try and solve this problem. God help us!

We all know he is going to make it worse. The economy will only get on the road to recovery when this fool is sent back to Crawford. Maybe there he can help balance the books of the local dog groomer.
