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. :)

don't blame the bill for the deficit skyrocketing

Bush and Obama and McCain all collaborated on setting in motion the policies that have seen 8.5 _trillion_ dollars added to the debt. The interest on that will wreck absolute chaos in the years to come. at a declared federal only debt of about a trillion or trillion and a half (I forget which) you were paying 22 cents on the federal tax dollar in interest payments. Multiple that by 5 and oops. we have to raise taxes 5% just to make our interest payments....if we shut everything else down. Sowwy.

This isn't about socialists versus free marketers. Its the bipartisan betrayal of the republic.
