Comments on the Stimulus Package deal, again. It's disgusting, appalling, degrading to the intelligence and future for the citizens of this country. It is totally unethical. What else is new, I would love to see the day that ethics comes out of D.C.

If the government really wanted to use the Stimulus Package properly they would have given each person that works or every head of household or each person a piece of the trillions. That would stimulate the economy. Instead, as we all know they gave huge bonuses to people that are already millionaires. Talk about slapping us all in the face! "United We Stand Divided We Fall". "United We Stand", we may as well flush that part of slogan down the drain. I think the White House residents and their Freemason cult fellows have their own slogan "One For All And All For One". Unfortunately we are not part of this group.

There're thousands and thousands of attorneys that are licensed, someone must be able to find a crime of some sort to show the Stimulus Package was not used for its proper means. Then make sure the money that was given inappropriately be dispersed, so the money actually is used for the stimulation of our economy.

Honest and true Representatives and Senators of the States, those we put in these positions to represent our best interests should be hounding the White House nonstop, yet they are not. I am tired of these discriminating ways.

Also, why, when we are in a recession and in the midst of the worst decline in stock value in well over 10 years, does U.S. taxpayers money go elsewhere? I just heard that our government agreed to donate 900 million to rebuild Gaza. Our government should be thinking about how it can help the U.S. working-class taxpayer. The citizens of the United States should come first. Not people in Gaza, and not U.S. banks that are blatantly spending hard-earned tax dollars on trips, concerts and golfing events. I heard the president say in his speech to Congress, that we will be requiring the banks to itemize every dollar of bail-out money and inform the government how it will be spent. My question to the President is: "Why does the government give them the first round of bail-out cash and NOT demand to know how it will be spent? Our government is also spending billions of dollars a month on the two wars we initiated. Meanwhile, lives are being lost, not counting the enormous amount of injuries, mental and physical. Something is very wrong here and it must stop. 'United We Stand' is a big fat United Joke. If we were really united, the government would ask the U.S. citizens for a special vote on sensitive subjects. Then we would have a result that reflects the will of the people, instead of an absurd result, which usually fills the pockets of the rich.
