Senate Passes $819 Billion Economic Stimulus Bill
- Text size
William Branigin and Michael D. Shear
The Washington Post
February 10, 2009
The Senate today passed an economic stimulus bill that President Obama and congressional Democrats called crucial to pull the U.S. economy out of its downward spiral but that drew scant support from Republicans.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Senators voted 61 to 37 to approve the massive bill, which the Congressional Budget Office now says would cost $838 billion over 10 years. Only three Republicans voted in favor of it. In the House, an $819 billion version of the package passed on Jan. 28 with no Republican support.
A procedural vote in the Senate yesterday cleared the way for final passage today. In that 61-36 vote, the same three moderate Republicans senators — Susan Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania — broke with their party leaders and supported the legislation.
The package now heads to a House-Senate conference to resolve differences between the two versions. Obama, who hopes to sign the resulting bill into law before Presidents’ Day on Monday, has publicly encouraged negotiators in recent days to restore some education provisions that were stripped from the Senate version to reduce its overall cost.

Nothing will happen because everytime they make a move like this no one did anything, they will continue to push us to the edge. A lot of people are waking up but I think they are waiting for the moment to revolt.

Get Yourself educated.
Can you SURVIVE, without electricity? If they decide to kill the power, what are you going to do? If you have no idea and don’t care, then pack a bag now, and get ready for the FEMA camps.
If you don’t know, BUT want to learn, then:

So don’t fixate on this. Look for the REAL theft.

I am glad they managed to put partisanship aside to divide the pie up equally amongst them.
They did promise us it would be passed……that was never in question.
I love the Obama first speech last night…it is so rigged..Obama exposes how the questions are screened and planned by not knowing who the reporter is and just saying..Ed something is next..where are you??
It is false advertising to not put a caption stating…NOT A TRUE FREE SPEECH NEWS CONFERENCE…
Reporters questions have been chosen by the President and this is his response to them..this is not a real live-press conference except the people are present.
And the question about A-Rod using steroids?? Sue them Rod!!
No questions about what he thought about Michael Phelps hitting the bong….
Please understand he is young and can do that in his off time..the Olympics don’t own him.
The sponsors can go jump in a lake..he made his money he is fine for life…
Worse is the christian student who used the picture to ruin a man’s career.
The programmed question about wasted bill spending was silly too. Apparently he felt the need to show the side for supporting spending money not related to helping Americans.
I am happy the government is upgrading at the worst time in our history.
Jobs created in the government sounds great for them. Money to the Banksters is wonderful idea to them.
But all Americans know it would have been cheaper to have used that money to help the home market..They could easily afford to allow every homeowner in America reduced payments by half or more for several years for just 500 Billion.
The banksters would still get their money, homeowners across America get relief and governement don’t spend any money unless absolutely necessary.
This is NOT an option considered because the plan is not to stimulate the public, but the government and it’s boss the banks.
Big government funded by the banks, paid for by citizens.
I may end up homeless, but at least the government buildings will have green energy efficient windows. Who does not think that is great???
Just conspiracy nuts with partisan beliefs according to Obama.

“FEMA Prison Blues”
I hear the FEMA trains a comin’
They’re rolling round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in FEMA prison, and time keeps draggin’ on
But that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San Antone..
When I was just a truther Obama told me, Son,
Always be a good boy, or I’ll take away your guns.
But I shot a Fed in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
Far from FEMA prison, that’s where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away…..

You can rip up your stimulus checks if you want, but the gov says you still have to report it.
Best bet is to send it back.
Be aware though, if you have any outstanding debt owed to any government agency, the Treasury is now acting as “creditor” and diverts stimulus checks to whomever is owed.
Just my experience.
Hard to be debt free living in a debt based economy.

There are so many economists who know about ‘externalities’.. get them analyze externalities of each economics activity – weight pro and con by scoring them. write down ‘ negative externalities’ and implement some solution by priority when appropriate… im sure there are hunderds things which the govt. has to do.

Why do I get a feeling the Main Honcho is going to spend the next Four years bailing out the banks and the Corporations which are too big to fail?
Why do I get a feeling that the Banks DO NOR want to lend money at between 4 and 6 % when they can force us to pay and shop using the “Credit cards” earning them between 18 to 28%?
Why do I get a feeling that it will be a very good idea if any “interest rate” exceeding 5% above the Bank Rate set by the Federal Reserve — it can— under the penalty of law— be only described as “EXTORTION RATE” e.g.if Fed Res rate is 2% and your favourite money lender charges you
8% it must be described as “RATE OF EXTORTION” and NOT “rate of interest”.
Why do I get a feeling that what is commonly described as “CREDIT CARD” is in fact nothing more than an “ENSLAVEMENT CARD.
WHY OH GODS WHY????
