So the responses I got from Dippin and Dc were in a nutshell:

What you propose is spending too much....


Yet it's ok to give BILLIONS to the banks that raise credit card rates, fees and are truly doing nothing to help people.

If one proposes ways to help the country, they are foolish and it'll cost too much.

Give Obama time, trust him, this is different, in 60 days you expect too much

We don't have time. Trust him.... umm "change" means putting people in your cabinet that have been in power and are partially responsible for the mess we are in? How is this different.... if you speak out against Obama you aren't giving him a chance, you are hateful, emotional, led like a sheep, partisan and have no idea what you are talking about.... sounds exactly like what the GOP said about those speaking out against Bush and ummmmm they in the end were proven right to have spoken out. In 60 days I expect the man who said government will be more open, there will be a new way of doing business to uphold that promise.... yet in less than 60 days he has forgotten about all that. 24/48 hours to read the stimulus package with no debate???? That's open. All the pork and the AIG bonuses that were allowed PAID FOR BY OUR MONEY while we are hoping to just make another paycheck.... fake outrage and finger pointing when the bonuses are leaked out, excuses that "it's only 1/1000 of the TAXPAYER MONEY we are giving them". While Obama tells us we have to sacrifice, we have to lower our standard of living?????? We do it's called taxes. What does he sacrifice, what does Congress sacrifice, what are the banks sacrificing, what is AIG sacrificing?????

You're being emotional

Emotion comes when all other avenues have been tried and failed. Government has failed the people, they are full of extremists who are bought and paid for by the ultra rich and lobbyists. They spend our money and raise taxes as they please and damn the people.

We don't have time anymore. What are we supposed to give Obama 3 years while we flounder, put band aids on wounds that need serious stitches and surgeries and pretend everything is ok as our taxes are used to bail out the rich?

And all the while they take freedoms away, tell us who pay their wages and put them into office to sacrifice while they get whatever they want, guaranteed healthcare for life, guaranteed pensions, guaranteed expense monies they really do not have to be accountable for, to ignore the polls that show the majority wants tightened border security, a more representative tax system and so on..... and never visit their districts and talk to their constituencies to see how the people truly feel?

We are to continue supporting all this because of why?

And if we speak out.... we are wrong for any number of reasons, but primarily we are wrong solely because you are now in power and you don't want to give any of it away back to the people.

We have a president that laughs on national television about our crisis and is asked by the interviewer in amazement if he (the president) is punchdrunk... and that's ok? You want me to give him more time, to trust that??? If that had been Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Nixon, Carter, any other president there would have been outrage and people demanding his job.... but the press and extreme left make excuses and act like it's ok for him to laugh on national television at the American people and the mess we are in.

We are being taxed to death and it's not enough???????? How much more from us do they want?

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
