The Obama stimulus package made it through the House, but every Republican voted against it and so did 11 Democrats.
The House members discussion on the stimulus bill had a number of good comments. One was by Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, an 82-year-old Maryland Republican, when he thought back to the Great Depression he said: "I don't remember any of the many government programs affecting the course of the Depression. Government programs didn't work then, I don't know why we think they would work now. Mr. President, I think our obsessive borrowing has fully mortgaged my kids and my grandkids. Now we're working on mortgaging my two great-grandkids. Mr. President, I think it's more than a little bit selfish to try to solve our economic problems which we created by burdening future generations yet to be born." The House chamber burst into applause. San Diego MLS listings
In many ostensibly socialist countries, the benefits eventually wound up going mainly to the “right people”. There are winners and losers in any system. It’s not the system, it’s the people. They never change, and there will always be alphas around to boss and rip off the rest of us who have the nasty habit of minding our own business and being honest.

Why always blame somebody else? What happened to self responsibility and self accountability?

This is all Obama’s and his leftist friends from Chicago fault. Individuals are walking away and not taking responsibility for their financial commitments. They know Obama and Co. won’t do anything. It’s his fault.
