Coming Soon: Obama's Next Stimulus Plan

Okay, First of all, to the "praise jesus" person, I hate to tell you, but No god will save you from the economy, and this isn't a religious forum, so please do not post that bible thumping nonsense here.

I do believe that whoever wrote this article is on to something. However, I have one thing to add. The legalization of Marijuana could greatly help our economy. Now I know what you are thinking "pothead just wants to smoke legally". On the contrary. I personally am not a massive smoker. However, legalizing it will give us millions of jobs by opening up a massive market. Instead of just singular dealers profiting, companies can profit. With companies being able to produce Marijuana legally, it would make a lot of jobs in both the production of the plant itself, new innovations, packaging, designing, marketing, etc. And if the jobs aren't enough, I'm sure the government would JUMP on the chance to tax something like that. That would mean a significant amount of money going into the government more. People already pay ridiculous prices for it. They would probably pay a little less in a store. 9/10 People I know, or have ever met smoke, or have smoked marijuana on a frequent basis at some point in their lives.

Also, Studies show that the use of marijuana on those with cancer greatly help them. Also, Its been proven that those suffering from Fibromialgea Regain a lot, if not all of their abilities lost by the disease with the intake of THC. If my mother were to take marijuana in some way or another, she could be out of her wheelchair by now.

So basically, My point is simply put: Legalize Marijuana. It will help our economy. help our people, and honestly, bring up american's spirits.

It will not work. Proof is Fall of 2009 when national unemployment is at 10% and the Dow falls to 4500. The stimulus is just a refined name for "Pork". Everything from the Pelosi Railroad to monitoring volcanoes. What a waste. Save every penny and work very hard at your job. Make sure you are the last one laid off. If you think it is bad now; get ready for another think coming. I have never had a late house payment, and my credit score is around 800. I do not want anything but a free market in which the economy can right itself. The UAW needs a reality check. They have priced themselves out of business and are wanting still another handout with no plan of cure. Let them walk and then let GM, Chrysler, and Ford start setting the prices with nonunion labor. THEN we can actually compete against foreign car makers. Just wait 6 months to 1 year and you will know that I am not crazy.

let's reach out to each & every American, young & old to combat this war of recession. mobilize every American to take part to fight. (1) every state, city, town & community will hold special rally events, such as concerts, sport events, special rally event & community fairs with free admission but contributions will be gladly accepted. (2) something like the Xmas seal drive, distribute containers to each & every store, every street corners, let people make contribution at will. (3) encourage every business establishment, restaurant & eating places to hold special rally event to give discout and/or free meals. accepting contribution for this PLAN. (4) school children to reduce or eliminate snack & make snack money contribution. little thing means a lot. youngsters are the back bone of our nation. (5) each & every American will make some kind of adjustment to reduce or eliminate the non-essential items & pledge the savings toward the contribution for this PLAN. (6) rotation voluntary substitue layoff. big and small business operations spell out layoff plan & ask for any volunteer for substitue rotation layoff for six months or shorter period of time. hold this kind of meeting every five to six months if its necessary. keep rotating voluntary substitute layoff. show the world, we American care for each others. our spirit is as strong as ever. we'll prevail. (7) we'll have the government's support and the government will provides somekind of tax credit to the one who participated. Every American is a soldier to combat this war of recession. Make this "peoples' real effort stimulus plan" bigger than life. we wanted to revive our nation's plummeting economy & get out of the recession ASAP. every American work together as a team, yes, "we can win".

Get ready folks, this bill is a baby step towards Socailism. If GWB took us to the brink financially, Obama just pushed us off the cliff. When this massive spending doesn't "fix" the our problems, the next step is nationalizing the banking system.

I hate to think evil of Jr Senator Obama, but this is scary.

All part of a plan it would seem.

To all the Democratic voters out there, start writing and calling your elected officials and reel them in before it's too late. It's not the Dems against the Reps, It's the People or the Government. Which do want to rule?
