Comments on: How Much Extra Will I See In My Paycheck Because Of The 2009 Economic Stimulus Package? http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/2009/02/how-much-extra-will-i-see-in-my-paycheck-because-of-the-2009-economic-stimulus-package.html Finances transformed by faith Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:12:43 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Peter http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/2009/02/how-much-extra-will-i-see-in-my-paycheck-because-of-the-2009-economic-stimulus-package.html/comment-page-1#comment-5320 Peter Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:11:33 +0000 http://www.biblemoneymatters.com/?p=2502#comment-5320 I think there's plenty of blame to go around, both to republicans and democrats. Clinton did in fact push for the legislation that made banks much more likely to give loans to people who couldn't afford it, along with Barney Frank (who is now feigning outrage at every turn) and others. The republicans haven't been fiscally responsible either, spending money like there's no tomorrow. It really is sad that so many feel like they can't trust their elected politicians nowadays.

That is just ridiculous. I am so sick of whiny republicans not accepting responsibility for their party's actions. If some of our wasteful citizens would have lived within their means we would not be in this mess. My parents raised me to be frugal and wise with my $$, to bad so many other people didn't learn that lesson. Oh please, this is NOT Clinton’s fault. That is just ridiculous.

If the President rubber stamped a bill, then he's at fault too. If the Congress approves a budget, then they are all at fault, regardless of how they voted. Many Presidents are to blame for the current crisis, not just Bush. Clinton had a hand in it also when he allowed commercial banks to get involved in investment banking and the changes to Fannie and Freddie. But let's move past blame and get towards fixing. <abbr><em>jims last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BargaineeringCashMoneyBlog/~3/416919865/stop-watching-market-news-start-watching-lolcats.html" rel="nofollow">Stop Watching Market News, Start Watching LOLCATS</a></abbr></em> I would argue they’re both to blame, we have a system of checks and balances.

But remember, the president cannot spend a dime without congressional authorization. I think your anger is misplaced - it is the Congress who deserves the blame for these deficits. It is Congress, and the previous administrations (primarly Clinton, but some under Bush, too) who leaned on banks to dole out more mortgages to those who could not afford it. That's what got us here, and continuing to spend will not help us get out. In fact, the opposite is true. <abbr><em>Frugal Dads last blog post..<a href="http://frugaldad.com/2009/02/24/should-i-pay-off-my-mortgage/" rel="nofollow">Should I Pay Off My Mortgage?</a></abbr></em> @Teresa: I voted for Bush and can easily admit one of his greatest failings was failure to veto the wild spending bills that came out of Congress during his term.

The $400 over the year we will be getting would do much more if we received it at once. Probably not very much, I believe it was something like $13 more per paycheck.

Yes, they probably are, but many economists believe that even this large a stimulus package is far from enough to stop the nation from sliding farther into a depression. Instead of blaming the deficit on the new administration, perhaps you should point out that Clinton left Bush a budget surplus which Bush soon turned into a whopping deficit with tax cuts for the wealthy and $16 billion/month spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. The eventual total cost of the war in Iraq is estimated to be $3 trillion. Is that unnecessary expenditure more worthy than creating jobs, financing education, and rebuilding our country's infrastructure? “Our grandchildren’s children are probably still going to be paying for all this!” Yes, they probably are, but many economists believe that even this large a stimulus package is far from enough to stop the nation from sliding farther into a depression.
