Lots of this money will also stimulate ACORN! They must be ready to reelect Obama you know. 
Folks, we have got to be in touch with our legislators and ALL who are in Washington even if they are not in your district. Let them know we mean it when we say &#8220;We will not reelect you if you do the wrong thing.&#8221; 
To all you who voted for Obama, here is your change, and your hope is if you make it through the next 4 years. 
Well, I&#8217;ll keep my religion and my guns and you can keep the change.

		<description>Please forgive me if I&#039;m wrong; but is it true that China is funding the U.S. to help us with our debt? If this is true; I have a plan to pay them back and keep us from being beholding to them. Many years ago Our government closed down many farms around the country. Seems we had to much surplus. It put a lot of people out of work, and farms went abandoned. China needs food, America could produce enough food to feed two of China. Lets open up the farming industry again, pay China with crops, we might even lease them the land,(with caution of course)It would open up jobs and pay down our debt. There must be a way, put on your thinking caps America, we can do this. It&#039;s always the people that solved the problems not the President. This is only one idea, maybe someone can do one better. I hope so.Nancy </description>

		<description>Lots of this money will also stimulate ACORN! They must be ready to reelect Obama you know. 
Folks, we have got to be in touch with our legislators and ALL who are in Washington even if they are not in your district. Let them know we mean it when we say &quot;We will not reelect you if you do the wrong thing.&quot; 
To all you who voted for Obama, here is your change, and your hope is if you make it through the next 4 years. 
Well, I&#039;ll keep my religion and my guns and you can keep the change.

		<description>According to the Consumer Expenditure Survey there are 120 million households.  That means that the 2009 estimate for stimulus spending, $169 billion, translates to ~$1,400 per household, less than any of those categories.  The estimate for 2010 is $356 billion or a little less than $3,000 per family.  I&#8217;m no accountant, but I don&#8217;t see how that is higher than the &#8220;amount of debt equivalent to what they spend on food.&#8221;  That&#8217;s just the problem with the math. 
 
The underlying assumption of the whole article is that the money is going to something completely useless (kind of like the $600 billion we&#8217;ve spent in Iraq).  Fortunately, a lot of it is going to things that will directly help the American people, such as unemployment benefits, food stamps, expanded EITC, and yes TAX CUTS.   For instance, of the stimulus spent in the first year, almost half will be tax cuts.  So yes, you could say Americans are being asked to borrow x amount, but half of that is going directly into their pockets.  I wonder why heritage never complained when the U.S. government spent $4,000 per family on the War in Iraq? </description>
