Stimulus Package Explained

[Geronimo36]

where in anything he said did you see Clay say 75k was alot of money....

You misunderstood what I wrote.... I'm saying the government, not clay, says $75K is "rich" and taxed as such...... And americans loose a lot of these "stimulus" checks if they make more than 75. I think they're still living in the stone age or maybe some podunk town in nome alaska..

man that really pizzes me off.....minorities already have more benefits than i do(yea I'm a white male)....let a white guy try to buy a ford dealership when a black male with no money can get the govt to step in and give him the loan...the black man wins....all i want is whats fair....now it seems our new president want to phuck me right in my azz....and i don't go that way....not that there is anything wrong with it....

I hear ya.... My company is owned by a white male..... Due to not being a minority owned, veteran owned or WBE (Woman's Business Enterprise) we have a tough time acquiring new enterprise sized clients or getting on vendor lists because we are NOT a minority.... Meanwhile, my Indian owned counterparts get all the business because they're minorities... In addition to that, large companies and even the government have certain monies set aside for minority owned companies so they can meet their "quotas". So even if I provide a superior service I might not get the work.

To me that's not equal opportunity....and it feels as if I'm being treated as a "minority" because we're not a Minority, Veteran or WBE... :boxing_smiley:

Boy, the market is responding to yesterday's "stimulus" package almost as well as it reacted to the election of The One.

Never had cats. Can't be of my family crest.
We were more of a deep Vee Polish-Viking Clan.

I'll tell ya one thing.... We all better hope that the new man in charge can get something done. Whether we agree with the approach or not we all better hope that it works.... I don't agree with bailing wastefull and devious companies either but if it doesn't work out I may have to get outta boating... so for the time being I'm hoping for the best and workin my azz off!!

Spending $200,000,000 to redo the lawn isn't going to do much for the economy, well the US economy. It will do wonders for the Mexican economy when the illegal landscapers send that money back to their families south of the border. Of course now that we are spending $350,000,000 on VD, those Mexicans can get a free shot in the ass of penicillin after catching the clap from $10 crack whores.......
