What would you prefer...Spending 12 billion to make federal buildings green or Spending 12 billion to buy up older autos and tractors to help out the auto industry and the average joe.

The recession is drivin by the media..If they would quit broadcasting dum and glum, people would think that maybe it is residing. I for one want to buy a newer pickup and build a garage and put an addition on the house, but I think if I wait I will get more for my money than now. The politics of now have us all on the edge and nothing and I repeat nothing is generating the economy. If I kept telling my little guy he is dumb, he will begin to think he is, so goes the economy.

You think the stimulus will help? How? There is very little in the bill that stimulates the economy. Pull it up online and read it. It"s just a payback to the groups that elected obamma.

If you've got the obammo crap in your head I suggest you wake up buddy. When the government pumps borrowed money and you accept that makes you their puppet. What a loser.

Both. Having green buildings will generate a lot of jobs. And getting junkers off the market will create jobs. And you guys in service jobs ought to consider this: If the economy doesn't improve, service jobs are gonna dissappear as well.

Given only those two choices then by all means make the federal buildings green. Buying up "old" cars and tractors would hurt the economy more than it would possibly "help" anything else. Why you ask do I say this? Well when it comes to tractors and other equipment typically all "the little man" can afford is the older stuff to operate with....and even more than that the older stuff is usually more reliable than the new stuff when properly maintained. With that said think how many millions of people are employeed in businesses that cater to the production of new or replacement parts for the older equipment, as well as how many are employeed in salvage businesses that handle parts for the older equipment. Move onto cars and the same thing applies except then you get those handling OEM style parts, 'plain' aftermarket parts, hot rod parts, not to mention all the plain old custom stuff.... All in all getting rid of the "old" stuff woud do way more harm for this country than it would offer help the environment. Who cares how clean the air or water is if we're all dead because we can't afford to eat...

I don't need the stimulus for a couple of reasons:

1. My career actually provides a valuable SERVICE instead of just pushing money around/taking money from people.

2. I bought what I can comfortably AFFORD, so I'm having no problems paying my bills.

I don't believe it is my responsibility as a taxpayer to buy up failed businesses and allow them to keep operating with the same protocols that caused them to fail in the first place.

Take the time to watch at least the first video - the guy that supposed to be fixing the problem doesn't even realize what the problem is!

Neither...the sad thing is the economy would probably rebound quicker without having its arteries clogged with so much congressional pork.
