Hillary’s Economic Stimulus Plan would:

Establish a $30 Billion Emergency Housing Crisis Fund to assist states and cities mitigate the effects of mounting foreclosures
Take bold action to stem tide of foreclosure, including a 90-day moratorium on subprime foreclosures and an automatic rate freeze on subprime ortgages of at least five years
Provide $25 billion in emergency energy assistance for families facing skyrocketing heating bills
Accelerating $5 billion in energy efficiency and alternative energy investments to jumpstart green collar job growth:
Invest $10 billion in extending and broadening unemployment insurance for those who are struggling to find work:
______________________________________________________

Ok...so the economy will jump start if we: delay the eventual foreclosure of homes people couldn’t afford in the first place...

Hand off a huge chunk of money to pay the heating bills of people living in houses that they will lose in 5 years when her thighness moratorium runs out...

find a green collar job that pays 12.50 an hour for folks who are getting free energy bills in an attempt to delay the eventual foreclosure on their homes they could’t afford in the first place...

10 billion in unemployment benefits for FORMER green color workers laid off when global warming doesn’t occur and the oatmeal fuel generator plant company closes, to help them no pay the fuel bills for the homes they cannot afford and should lose because....

Sounds like a wonderful plan to me......???? (sarcasm ON)

What I find interesting is that when there is a democrat president, all the talk from the media is about a “soft landing”, and when there is a Republican president, the liberal media immediately talk of recession. Notice the subtle bias?

Not only make the Bush tax cuts permanent and pass some new tax cuts, but also stop wasting Tax payer’s money

Tax dollars is the seen, lost opportunity is the unseen.

To keep a recession at bay, the segment you want to help is the small businesses, not the low income types. That might feel good, but it won’t do much.

I have no doubt Hillary will penalize small businesses for her givaway, thus deepening any recession.

It’s the idea, not the number, which is the problem. The number will likely increase precipitously.

Well, yes. The problems with the idea are being covered by others earlier up in this thread. My point is that the idea that $70 billion is going to save the economy from recession is ludicrious at face-value. It will be obvious to anyone with a true understanding of the size/scope of the US economy. But to the troglodytes in the Dem base $70 billion looks like a hell of a lot of money.

What is a ‘green collar job’?

Jobs American hard working families do? Like Obama’s ‘unbalanced economy’, they both never took ECON 101, or they wouldn’t have to make up terms they can’t define. Republicans better hit them hard with defining their terminology, simply countering it, and stating real terms with definitions.

The rats have tried these “stimulus” packages before. All they do is bring on a real recession not prevent one. We’re not in or heading for a recesssion now.

This needs to be called exactly what it is: a vote-buying bribe to key Democratic demographics along the same lines of the Clinton’s 1993 “Economic Stimulous Plan”.

Wow, watch Blitzer and Matthews obscure that.

Hillary’s clearly pandering to the illegal aliens along the southwest border while she’s chowing down on tortilla chips and guacamole. The illegals come with inner-city underground-kiosk manufactured voter (fraud) ids. Watch this skank. Let’s embrace fidel and hugo communism/socialism.

$30 billion fund to help subprime mortgage borrowers to make their payments

Will someone please explain to me why I am supposed to shell out tax dollars for fools who bought more house than they could afford?

So...the answer to the recession is to drive the economy into an even worse recession that would be nearly impossible to recover from.

This is the smartest woman in the world?

Clinton’s 1993 “Economic Stimulous Plan”

Republicans; low tax rates and the opportunity to do for myself.

Democrats: $70 billion subsidy package getting more dependants on government doing for me.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.
