ok i didnt make it through the whole thing but im going to finish it ,you can call us stupid but i didnt have a choice about the bill,now the only thing i can do is look for a grant or loan that i can get ,so i can start a business or atleast scam the goverment,and get some money ,i live in delaware one of the few tax free states and "tax free" is meaningless . people here are starving and with out electric and water and they are dieing, the company i was working for went out of business after 14 years of me working there i recieved unemployment! and now i have no health care for my 15 yo daughter who i just had to pay $5,408.00 for braces for her teeth(payment plan) the state says i make too much money on unemployment for help! now you know why i want to scam my goverment! i just havent found my loop hole yet!

People are starving everywhere, it's called laziness. Shit happens. Unless your daughter needed braces for reasons other than cosmetics, I don't sympathize.

The biggest issue with people being 'poor' is that they don't know how to spend. I see homeless people all the time that would rather beg for beer than for a meal, what's up with that?

I'm 19 and I live in Arizona. With no experience I found a job as a Loan Officer. Even in this state of the economy I can bring in 7-10 loans a month. Though most are refinances, it's still money.

Put pride aside and find a job. Quit complaining about how the government sucks and how you want to scam them. Governments shouldn't be in place for handouts.

You call us stupid Americans.


You forget that the American population had no say in what the bill said. We didn't vote on it. Congress did. If it fucks up America even more, it's Congress' fault, not mine.

Ok, ok. I'll admit it. I'm a stupid American for voting for this stimulus package. Oh, wait....I didn't get to vote for this. It wasn't up to me to decide to give away 800 billion in taxpayers money to things I dont agree with. Oh wait, congress is getting to decide what happens to our economy when 90% of them have not taken even a basic economics course?

Yea, there is alot of America that is stupid, but dont generalize about all of us just because the damn government is doing something stupid. I mean, they've been doing stupid and corrupt things for years. Who really expected them to change that now?

I never called you stupid. I am calling the stupid americans that sit there and praise Obama. The ones who was all happy and excited because of him and how he is saving america and everything.

So, if you sit there and believe that he is fixing the economy and giving you a job, then the title applies to you.

The price of gold represents the weakness of the current dollar and inflation, right? Anyways I wouldn't blame anything TOO big on Obama yet. He only just got into office.

Normally yes gold performs under those guidelines. However, the fact that the dollar has been up for about two months indicates strong bear market sentiments as gold continues to rise in spite of this. Expect a pullback to 850 or so until March and then its off to 2000.

Obviously Obama isn't to blame for our current crisis, we have his predecessor and the many poor decisions made by various branches of government to blame for that. What he is guilty of is the full support of the trillion dollar bailout, along with all of the senseless spending taken place since he's taken office. Obama and friends claim to recognize the faults made by the Japanese government and FDR's new deal but continue to follow suit. Right now many people are unwilling to doubt nor question their lord and savior Big Brother Obama, but give it a couple months and i'm sure people will start to wake up.

I'd say the electorate is more to blame. But that's just my opinion.

America is know for their denial. He probably wont be blamed for what goes wrong, he will find another source of anger and disruption for our own stupidity and laziness.

So the people who didnt vote for the president is responsible for supporting him.... that makes lots of sense.

When you use 'the people', it's meant as a pronoun substituting more than one person. Therefore, it'd be correct to use the word 'are' instead of 'is', especially if you're trying to make a sensible approach.

In response to what I think you meant, which is
"So the people who didn't vote for the president are responsible for supporting him"
Call me stupid, but that doesn't make sense either.

Mind clarifying your statement in proper English please, so that I may be able to comprehend it?

And don't make statements without linking to fact. How is America known for their denial?

You don't make a lot of sense in your arguments, and to be quite frank, I'm growing really tired of reading, what looks like, some drunk blogger's paraphrasing. (Yay for run-ons!)

that is clear and easy to understand english.

According to you, when you corrected someone who said that the people who voted for obama are responsible for his actions, and you said that the electorate is responsible.

The electorate is everyone who can vote in the upcoming election. Now, I'm 100% positive, and I can link things on this, everyone did not vote for Obama. So according to you, the people that voted AGAINST obama are responsible for what he does as president.
