Political Poll

[rowyn]

I've been reading here and there about the economic stimulus bill in Congress, but not very much about it in LJ. Which made me curious what my friends think of it. Hence, a quickie poll!

[Poll #1346426]

Also, if any of you are so inclined, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts in detail. :)

There's one Russian historian who's been predicting, for many years now, that the US will fall apart, literally, in 2010. Split into five pieces and get annexed by foreign governments.

I'm really not worried that things are going to get *that* bad. And I certainly hope that whatever action Congress takes, it's helpful. :)

but he is an idiot.
or perhaps plagarizing andrei amalrik
the soviet dissident who wrote will the soviet
union last until 1984...it did of course but
also finally broke down somewhat along predicted
lines.
so he is imagining the us suffering a similar
fate. it wont.

I did not vote for this president and another
president might have likely proposed a somewhat
different bill. but also with no guarantee of
immediate success...

one thing I do carp at a little is the president's
use of the dire warning perhaps a bit too much...
it risks to be a bit like crying fire in a theater
something to avoid doing...

but Im sure it will sort itself out and of course
hope not too many will lose jobs and suffer etc
but it is a normal sort of thing isnt it?
