ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) - The White House says President Bush
is open to the idea of a second government stimulus to further
boost the U.S. economy amid the financial crisis.
Press secretary Dana Perino told reporters on Air Force One as
the president flew to Louisiana on Monday for an economic event
that the White House will have to see what kind of package Congress
crafts. Perino says the administration has concerns that what has
been put forward so far by Democratic leaders in Congress would not
actually stimulate the economy.
Earlier in the day, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave
the same message to Congress. It was the first time that Bernanke
endorsed a second stimulus for the economy, which he says will be
weak for several quarters.

Borrowing from the future ain’t good,cause when you get there ya gonna come up short and have a big bill waiting for ya when you get there. That’s not a welcoming I’d like to see for our kids.

If you wanna keep them home fires burning in them factories,just give me about a quarter of a million and they’ll be putting on some extra shifts to keep up with my spending.The little checks they’ve been passing out is just like the seasoning for meat,but just ain’t no meat there. This is sorta like the man selling his corn crop for next year and getting the money ahead of the crop,Somebody’s gonna come up short somewhere along the line and I have a sneaky feeling it’s gonna be us.

I just don’t see a government that is so deep in debt handing out billions of dollars in small increments. The check is not enough to make a difference in an individuals life, but collectively it is a large sum of money.
. How much of this money will go directly overseas, because people bought a new TV or cell phone?

I would rather they just “bail me out” forever and ever. Let me just charge everything I need and especially my wants and don’t even bother adding it up because it will never amount to what was “bailed out”.
