It is nice to see President Obama finally admit that this stimulus package is really a spending bill. And we all know how well the government can spend money so wisely. What we need in a stimulus bill is for it to contain a reduction in Capital Gains taxes, corporate taxes and reduce payroll taxes so employees can actually see money in their hands when they get paid. Rest assured they would spend the money better than the government. This bill contains unnecessary government handouts in return for political favors from the election. That only stimulates these groups to continue political efforts to push programs and candidates at the taxpayers’ expense. But then again, that is what President Pelosi and Vice-President Reid want. Political power over benefit to the working person. And of course, the taxpayer may feel some benefit from this bill in the 4th year, which of course just happens to coincide with the next presidential election. Gee, I wonder who thought of that? This bill should be cut in half and just benefit the taxpayer and no one else or any organization.

By the way, if I do not pay my taxes this year, can some one nominate me for a position in the Obama Administration? Position does not matter since I know it will pay quite a sum.
