Thanks, guys. Knew we could rely on you.

Democrats dont care about future wealth or any wealth. They just want to spread the wealth which leaves no one with any. They dont care what the republicans think. They just want to show them who is in power here. At anyones costs. OB does not care if it is overspending as long as the titles are noted with HISTORIC.

How long will the jobs "created" last? One day, one week, one month, or one year?

I don't think anyone objects to more jobs being created, but can one purchase and furnish a house, or buy a car on one of them? Or will it take two or three of the created jobs to do that?

There also is the presumption that people will be willing and able to fill those "created" jobs.

And the success criteria the entire effort is...?

Fight on guys! You speak for me well. I appreciate the work our Senators are doing. They bring a little Oklahoma common sense to Washington.

"We know what works," Inhofe said, citing previous packages that succeeded.

Oh really? Then why are we in this fine mess, Senator Inhofe?

How's that buy-out in Pitcher working out for ya? Are the children safe, yet?

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
The late Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005

thank GOD some democrats moved to the republican side as well~!

Ayo

Exactly

Hijinx, (1/29/2009 1:03:09 PM)

Ok! Tommy says to Jimmy, lets shut the gate now that the cows are already out!

That will show them!!

born okay the 1st time, tulsa (1/29/2009 1:03:44 PM)

Ayo, anyone with half a brain can see that oklahoma weathered out the economy so far better than just about anywhere else.

born okay the 1st time, tulsa (1/29/2009 1:04:36 PM)

well put Nunya. Excellent quote.

Popeye, T-Town (1/29/2009 1:06:32 PM)

Ayo: What the hell? This isn't rocket science:
WE DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY TO SPEND!!!
WE DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY TO SPEND!!!
WE DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY TO SPEND!!!
WE DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY TO SPEND!!!

The reason Republicans are proposing tax cuts are obvious: 1) They have been shown to work; 2) They DO NOT require deficit spending.

It absolutely does not matter if there is one iota of "good" in this bill: WE DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY TO SPEND!!!

Bville, (1/29/2009 1:14:51 PM)

From each according to his means to each according to his needs.

Hijinx, (1/29/2009 1:15:38 PM)

But we do for Iraq?

Bville, (1/29/2009 1:17:13 PM)

Change we can be sheep in.

Hijinx, (1/29/2009 1:24:05 PM)

Come on Nunya

This from the pulpit of the president of the southern Baptist. A "in the tank" Republican hack who has lived for years off the donations of others. Hardly a PhD in economics. Who also said: According to one author, the pastor once responded to a question about biblical references in support of slavery during biblical times by saying, "I feel slavery is a much maligned institution. If we had slavery today we would not have such a welfare problem."

just passing through, (1/29/2009 1:30:36 PM)

To keep it Biblical; Why do these two continue to kick aganist the bricks? It looks like this bill is going to pass, so why are they not working to bring as much of this money to Oklahoma as possible?

Ironhead82, (1/29/2009 1:33:35 PM)

I hear a lot of liberals name calling instead of problem solving. Could it be that you do not have any answers, but can only spew hate? I, for one, want to keep what I have, rather than have it given to others that have not worked for what they need. As far as political parties goes, congress (democrat controlled) was and is responsible for oversight of the banking industry. So why the heck do we want to put more hens in a fox run henhouse?

vj, Tulsa (1/29/2009 1:33:51 PM)

Maybe it's just me, but everyone seems to want to blame the Republicans for the mess we're in. Weren't the Democrats in majority in the House and Senate during the last 4 years? I didn't take the time to research this, I'm just going from what I think I remember...

I have just a casual interest in politics, but it grows with each year that passes (I'm 30 now).

FS, Broken Arrow (1/29/2009 1:34:30 PM)

Their chamber added a ton of pork to the giveaway to the banks - why do they have a problem with this?

Could it be the citizens might actually benefit?

Ironhead82, (1/29/2009 1:34:40 PM)

passin through, would you jump if everyone told you it would be fun?

Ironhead82, (1/29/2009 1:36:30 PM)

nag, can you please tell me how this bill will help oklahoman's?

Tulsaboyw, tulsa (1/29/2009 1:39:50 PM)

Last two years democrats had congress.
Before that & during the two years they had sufficent control of certain committees to end up being responsible for the mess they caused by blocking reform efforts in committe.

Very little in this that will in fact benefit citizens....

On the fence, Tulsa (1/29/2009 1:40:59 PM)

I've looked at the stimulus package. I think that Inhofe and Coburn are correct that there is plenty of wasteful spending. It needs to be shrunk down quite a but to remove the wish list items. I hope they can make an argument without alienating those they need to influence. I would expect the Senate to be much more cautious than House.

Tulsaboyw, tulsa (1/29/2009 1:41:21 PM)

AS far as the illegals commit above.. who knows...after all remember illegals are in fact doing even the very jobs we would do and in some cases even darn good pay.

Tulsaboyw, tulsa (1/29/2009 1:43:40 PM)

Oil was not the reason for IRAQ.
Thats nuts, considering we can do our own oil and do it with zero loss of life.
As a agnostic person I resent his commits because of the lies he continues... The problems caused by the mortgage meltdown, while it is both parties, it is the democrats who expanded the loosening of it and blocked reform efforts to keep the meltdown from happening.
