I hope they do it right this time.

No chance.

I'm pretty sure there is going to be another "We'll all start pooping while we sleep if we don't pass this nownownownownow!!11!shiftplusone!!11!!" stupidity flowing and the bill will suck as much as the last one.

I'm tired of all the "scary" emergencies we've been having lately. It's made us stupid sheep willing to accept anything. It's so ingrained to accept it, that many only seem to notice it when it comes from somebody of the "other" party.

Several republicans will sign onto the bill because they can read the polls just like everybody else.

polls. does anyone have an unbiased poll determining whether the people want this bill passed or not?

 

[Immanuel]

Republicans will pass this bill. After all, according to politicians we can't do without it.

But Jiminy Cricket President Obama reaches for $2 Trillion in the first month of his Presidency! Where the hell are we going to be in eight years?

Democrats who lambasted President Bush for his spending are praising Allah for Obama's whopping $2 Trillion in a month. This world has gone batty!!

I doubt this one will be voted on at all.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Do you mean like insurance for 2 trillion or an actual 2 trillion?

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

The two-trillion number is the stimulus plan plus a public-private partnership.

So half of that number isn't actually a bailout. It's annoying how often demagogues try to confuse the stimulus plan with the bailout.

At this point is there a difference? Kind of like selling life insurance to a terminal cancer patient.

No. It isn't.

It's like selling health insurance to a kid with pneumonia. Give them the antibiotics and the ordeals over.

well the first dose did not cure the pneumonia, so we try the same thing again?

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

It's the only fucking treatment you nitwit. Of course you'd try it again.

Nope we have different antibiotics for pnuemonia.

 

[leaningright]

Maybe they think that they need to follow the standard treatment method for pnemonia........you know, mega doses of antibiotics (money)? It is what it appears to be anyway.

"There are two types of Pneumonia: Viral and Bacterial. With a Mega dose of antibiotics, it usually takes care of both types as long as its not severe."

If severe it takes custom antibiotics not general ones.

Actually, antibiotics have no effect against a virus. Their value in viral infections is to stem the proliferation of opportunistic secondary, bacterial infections. Those infections otherwise could take hold and grow because of the patient's weakened immune response.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Yeah LR's statement is kind of weird. Where did they get that antibiotics worked against viruses?
