If it makes you feel better, Obama's plan will probably eventually come with higher taxes ... so we'll be giving the money back anyway. It all comes out in the wash.

I also liked Obama, but he wants to raise capital gains to 30-percent and raise the income tax level to 39 percent. Way to grow the economy in a downturn--raise taxes.

On who? Are you talking about the richest 1 percent, who've received a major tax break for the last seven years thanks to Bush. Or the rest of the population, which hasn't seen that major tax break trickle down to raises for them of barely the cost of inflation for them for the last 30 years?

How about keeping taxes at their current rates for anyone who makes $100,000 or more and eliminating all income taxes on those who make 100,000 or less, that way we can have a much bigger welfare state and make those evil rich people take care of the rest of us........

You mean the same welfare state that built a baseball stadium for our current president when he was one of the owners of the Texas Rangers, or the welfare state that handed out a no-bid contract to a company that our current vice president owns stock in to do work in Iraq?

You don't think he could have made a pile on his OWN, do you?

Leave poor Fredo alone. He can do things.

Pelosi and Reid agree:

More free money! And ponies for everyone!

Put the bill on the Diners Club card.

I wonder how many watch the news about the wind-sucking economy on their Mastercarded 48-inch big screen TVs.

All hat, no cattle.

I'm still waiting for my first check. I understand Obama's philosophy though - you give 100 people $20, you'll get a quicker economic jolt than if you give 2 people $1,000.
