What Does the Stimulus Package Mean for Sales People? For Job-Seekers? The Facts

The money has to come from the bottom up. The "trickle down" theory does not work. As long as the CEO's and upper crust are allowed to soak up the income the people doing the work will never get it!!!!

Okay the reason why people are losing jobs is 1) The fat cats who are the CEO's of major corporate companies started this whole mess years ago by outsourcing American jobs. 2) Over a short period of time more and more jobs shipped abroad and less money coming into our country thus first wave of recession. 3) In September 11th, 2001 one of the Twin Towers where hit by a commercial plane flown by a terrorist organization. The Twin Towers Collapsed, thousands died resulting and in-direct recession second wave. 4) When the war in Iraq that should have ended less than a year but extended unnecessarily causing unnecessary spending on military equipment that was never used and still not used today, billions and even trillions of taxpayer monies to fund a never ending war. America ran out of money and had to borrow money from other countries like China for example. America still sends unnecessary funds to Israel. We don't have money, the crime rate is rising in because of the deficit and we still fund other countries who mooch off of us and too lazy to help themselves. Recession skip third and go to tenth wave. The reason why the housing market is what it is because we don't have a job to be able to pay us a decent income to buy a house. You got canned because the fat cat upstairs took the money from the bailout and spent it. We didn't get a penny of it, nope our jobs got shipped to places like China where they don't have to pay their employees and the fat cats collect all the profit. spend $10.00 and it equals $1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 a year. Wow!

Getting back to Obama's plan. That money may now seem like a lot but it means a lot. We need to bring back our economy at least short term at the moment. The republicans don't like that because they would rather have all of our money and put it in "safely" in their pockets. Republicans are against evolution and all about funding military arms even when we don't need to. We cannot wave a magic wand and fix the economy in a flash it doesn't happen that way it's not fantasy land. There is a common phrase about sales and investing "You have to spend money to make money" That's the truth. You cannot sell stocks if you don't have stocks to sell. Buy cheap watch them grow and sell high and the cycle goes on and on. I'm all for the stimulus Package and if you're not, then give me your tax credit and I'll spend it well :-P

FIX HOUSING FIRST!!!!

One Trillion dollars to save 3 million jobs. It would be better to give 48 million people who actually pay taxes $20,000 each and let them spend it. Don't give it to some bureaucrat to blow on make work projects that will come in behind schedule and over budget.

I agree with the comments here. This is definitely NOT a stimulus package -- it's government pork barrel spending that will bankrupt the county. It would be much better to do nothing than pass this.

One thing not highlighted in the article above is that many of these items -- if passed -- will not be implemented well into 2010 or 2011.

"Government is the problem...NOT the solution!"

I couldn't agree more.

This NOT a stimulus plan!! It is nothing more than out of control government spending!! It will do nothing except put the county deeper into debt and create long-term hyper-inflation and will deplete even more capital from the private sector.

The government DOES NOT create jobs! Only the private sector can create REAL jobs. This Pork Laded, disaster of a bill will BANKRUPT the country! We DO NOT have Trillions of Dollars to spend on this kind of garbage.

Government is the problem...NOT the solution!
