True Cost of Stimulus: $3.27 Trillion


$3.27 Trillion


True Cost of Stimulus: $3.27 Trillion

The Heritage Foundation

All of the major news outlets are reporting that the stimulus bill voted out of conference committee last night has a meager $789 billion price tag. This number is pure fantasy. No one believes that the increased funding for programs the left loves like Head Start, Medicaid, COBRA, and the Earned Income Tax Credit is in anyway temporary. No Congress under control of the left will ever cut funding for these programs. So what is the true cost of the stimulus if these spending increases are made permanent?

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) asked the Congressional Budget Office to estimate the impact of permanently extending the 20 most popular provisions of the stimulus bill. What did the CBO find? The true 10 year cost of the stimulus bill $2.527 trillion in in spending with another $744 billion cost in debt servicing. Total bill for the Generational Theft Act: $3.27 trillion.



Wild Thing's comment...........

And where the hell are we getting this money from?!

Our currency will be about as useful as monopoly money.

God help us! I love America with all my heart and it has me crying to see this happening to our country.

I love you all , thank you Team Theodore, you are all such awesome people. America is worth fighting for and I will not give up, this crying is just a momentary weak moment. But I am still locked and loaded...you bethcha'

This is truly disgusting! Like I have any more money to give back to them! Where is the outcry?
Where is the demands for Obamanation's head? If Bush had tried to push something like this through, all Hell would have broken free and we all know it! This is the dear cost of our lives and it's a shame that we let it happen!

I feel the same way Chrissie, but we'll just have to sit back and watch as his holiness the messiah and his band of braindead lemmings destroy themselves and their new Communist Party. We will then regain control of our control of our country, execute the commie bastards and live happily ever after. Oh and yes, we're locked and loaded.

All repubs and 7 dems voted against this in the house.

I believe they thought earlier there would be some RINO action in the house....looks like some DINO's instead...at least on this mess. So the dems have 7 members of the house smart enough to realize this is wrong. I'm impressed. I thought they were all intellectually substandard.

Teddy not showing up to vote in the Senate, since they feel they have the RINO lock and don't need him. If just one of those Rep would grow a brain cell this wouldn't pass.

I agree Chrissie...it's become emotionally exhausting...it doesn't end, it's one thing after another. As someone who believes in fairness, this is just grating me down.

But I'm going to try to be like you and remember we have God and many, many other good people in America on our side.

We are given many trials in life and I think this is just another one.

I think we all feel the same way at times Chrissie and even Glenn Beck sounded chocked up this morning while reporting on this. But never give up your fighting spirit Chrissie for your site gives all of us hope. I know your are strong and will come back fighting harder than ever!!!!

I for one will never concede to these worthless bastards. As soon as I get the list of who the Dems were that voted against this Bill, I am going to send them a Thank You note. They will catch holy hell from Pelosi and her thugs.

I'm glad to see that all the Republicans stuck together again on this vote. Too bad the Senate can't be the same way. With the 3 turncoat RINO's in the Senate, it will pass there too.

Did you hear where one of the reason Pelosi wanted this vote so early today was because she is flying to Europe tonight for an 8 day vacation!!! Probably paid for by the American taxpayer as usual!!!!

Screw all of them!!!!!!

The Blame is on the dems when this fails. Oh, I was reading in some artice that cites a report of bho wanting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Military Oath to be dedicated to him. He said that the Oath and Pledge Embrace Patriotism, Nationalism etc. "everything that is wrong in our military and our country." I Swore to Support and Defend the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES not barack ob[s]ama. If he changes anything that's it I'll quit, I love My Job, I Love My Country, but I believe that swearing an oath to one man is an act of treason to the U.S.A. Does that seem right? The very thought of quitting leaves me with an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hope it never comes to that. Let me know what you think.

Update: There are other articles saying that this "report" was a hoax. Sorry, I'm not trying to misinform y'all. Still just to even think about that, it's scary.

Maybe the phrase we can use in The 2010 Elections is "Oh My God." John Boehner has really grown on me.

Lynn, Yes, they just said on TV they should have taken months going through this and taken 80% of it out of the bill. But they are dealioong with dems with a one set mind on getting this passed asap.

cuchieddie, yessssss I agree.

"We will then regain control of our control of our country, execute the commie bastards and live happily ever after."

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:25 PM


Eden, Yes it helps a lot knowing that, God is on our side. And one day, we will take our country back.

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:27 PM


John, I agree, I will be sending a thank you to all that vote against this bill.

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:29 PM


JohnE PFC U.S. Army, exactly, and I am so glad to have learned no Rep. in the House voted for it. Now we have to wait to see it pass in the Senate augh! But at least if we can have the no's from the Republicans we have let the world know it is all the fault of the dems when this blows up.

Posted by: Wild Thing at February 13, 2009 06:32 PM


JohnE PFC U.S. Army,, no problem at all. It is hard sometimes with articles I have run into that too. Thank you JohnE for being here.

Sorry so late here, but again patriots, Lady Liberty witnessed a bloodless overthrow of our Republic three months ago... USSR is now the United Socialist States Republic! And with the BRO BHO White House (in name only) controlling the US CENSUS... we are pretty much finished and have become like the Europeon Eurabian Socialist Union. It's this obvious!
