Hillary, look, someone in Congress doing something about the economy NOW. Take a lesson about real leadership. As much as I dislike Nancy Pelosi, at least she recognizes waiting until February to deal with the economy isn't a particularly bright move.

AHHH words from a Qualified Woman who actually DOES something besides lie and cheat and Steal. Take note Hillabots THIS is how a women with power acts. NOT like some desperate nagging Idiot.

What the??? Another one??? I mean, I don't mind because I'll have another reason to visit my family but come on now, think now. Even I would not pull for this one…….sorry Dems but not this one…

This I will protect President Bush from……

Wow. I am so glad Ms. Pelosi wants to give me back my money! How about you lower my taxes in the first place and just let me keep what you have deigned to give back to me….

The first economic stimulus package hasn't even been released!!

How can she possibly look into her all knowing crystal ball to define what type of stimulus is required next?

How long does this congress think they can keep printing money to blockade natural economic cycles?

I do hope the NEW stimulus isn't a peanut butter spread approach like the last one. How about training funds for workers laid off or displaced?

The few of us left who have jobs will be paying so much in taxes we'll be forced to sell our stakes and move to Mexico–where the taxes are low and the cost of living is better. And they've got lots of jobs in American and European companies there.

yea then spend another $42 million dollars to send a letter to would be recipients that the check is on its way.

NANCY - TO0 LITLE TOO LATE. YOU AND HARRY REID ARE BOTH LOST CAUSES. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR US - THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.

More of our money poured back to us is not going to help, as long as we have a deficit and are indebted to China. I don't have the answer, but more money in my pocket isn't going to solve any problems.

Eugene, OR

Nancy, Bush, Congress, PLEASE STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY! The worst thing in the world right now is you people helping us. Please, I'm begging you, stop!

For once, I agree with what the big mouth has to say.

That a girl…I hear the Chinese would love to loan us some more money! I recommend all American's brush up on their Chinese! We have adopted thousands of their girls they leave to die, so their just going to reposess us when we can't pay our bills and their boys have no one to marry. Eccononic's 101, if you don't have it, don't charge it, and most especially not to the Chinese!

Hill n Bill '08 WE "KNOW" THEY CAN!
The best resume for the job in our Country!

Works for me as long as i get more money in my pocket!!!

Obama Richardson 08!!!

how about one that actually does something to stimulate the economy this time instead of just encouraging americans to over spend which is what caused this problem in the first place?

HUH? Has anyone read an economics book on capital hill in the last few decades? We are near total employment at the moment. Let's start crying wolf when unemployment is at 10-15%. There will always be a segment of the population that will not work or refuses to work. Heck I think we all have one of those people in each of our families.

The checks we will get in May wont fix anything as its already known many will just pay off debts that occured because of the economy. With more people losing jobs every day and the lack of getting another job before they are sent into the dreaded tailspin another stimulus package is needed but there is no known fact that another would help as they need to fix the bigger issues of more jobs for americans.

Cost of living keeps increasing and pay stays the same or decreases. No wonder we are strugling. 30k a year is nothing when the cost of living rises. I would love to see those who earn 100k to live for a month or so on the mere 30k we do as a family of 4 who cant get government help because we make to much. I say that is just wrong. We will keep making the rich richer and the poor poorer if we dont change the larger problem.

Obama 08

don't trust any establishment or institution, such as media, political parties, government, churches, etc.

impeach & convict the bush administration.

vote 3rd party, nader or gravel, because they are advocates for the american people.

both the democrats and the republicans are corrupt and are fooling all of you. they are both to blame for the suffering and the satanic foreign and domestic policies.

I agree we do not need another stimulus package. What we need is a government that is doing their job with the best interest of the American people in the forefront of their minds. How about dealing with price of gas, lack of jobs that pay a decent living wage and maybe even if you get these two thing right this economy will turn around.

This Congress tried something with the president before. I hope now they have the courage to have a new package that puts increaced food stamps, unemployment benefits and other items that are geared towards those that are on the lower end of the economic spectrum.

A project like what Roosvelt did in the 1930's to get the country out of the Great Depression isn't needed, but I would advocate something to help small businesses. I have been in favor of the idea that all businesses report income (and taxes) on business forms so that there is no worry that anything that affect personal taxes doesn't hit them there.

More socialist-based redistribution of wealth.

When does this crap end?

Yes, please give me more free money so the national debt goes up.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is right. This Bush administration created this mess and will be leaving it behind for the next administration to cleanup. While Bush was screwing up internationally, he forgot about the American people he pledged to serve. Yes, Bush has more to do for the American people while jobs are continuing to be lost. He looks like a fool traveling all over the world while we are in a downward slump.

Nancy, you can't give away what you don't have!!! Please stop immediately!! Anyone that has been through 5th grade math knows that you shouldn't be doing this. If people can't afford their lives, a one-time payment of a few hundred bucks isn't going to get them out of the red, it only gets the country further into debt. You can't cure a drug addict by giving them more drugs, why give everyone more money when over-spending is already their problem?

What Would Obama Do to fix the economy–probably ask Hillary

You want to do us all a favor? Impeach Bush and his administration. The government can not save us from ourselves. We want a responsible government, why can't we be responsible people who manage our money wisely?

Nancy Pelosi is all talks. She likes to blame everybody for everything.
The biggest loser in the democratic party. It is time for her to shut up and pack her bags home. Get somebody else for her place please!!!!!

Hi, Nancy. Great job! Keep the Bush administration's feet to the fire! You all wanted more of a stimulus the first time, and Bush and the Repubs refused to go along.

Bush, the Repubs and the bankers (Fed) created this mess in 2001 when they gave a HUGE tax break to the wealthy, then dropped interest rates to the lowest point IN HISTORY instead of doing the stimulus spending then!

NOBODY BUT THE REPUBS TO BLAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did she really mean……………."compels the president"

Maybe Bush will do something worth while for this Country and its citizens before he finally leaves office.

Idiot democrats, considering everything going on, the market is showing incredible resilience. Leave things alone and everything will work itself out. Welfare state minded democrates want to give a handout to everyone. If you cannot afford a home, don't buy one! If you cannot afford things in general, don't buy them on your $1000. dollar limit visa. We are not all equal. News flash, some actually are more successful than others. 30/70 principle: 30% of the population supporting the other 70% who are little more than parasites. And yes, these are the coveted democratic constituency. I'm sure Pelosi lives a lifestyle in tune with those she claims to represent.

It is not nice or needed to trash Hillary. That is not honest discord. What is the problem with Hillary. It is not her personality, it is her policies. Why drag her threw the mud?

HAHA! The first round of checks haven't even been sent and Pelosi wants to second some more! I for one will spend my economic stimulus rebate check(s) vacationing out of the country!

2009 is going to be far worse for Americans than 2008. The American people are soon going to learn that in order for the rest of the world to live at a higher standard of living, the American standard of living must decline. We've enjoyed so much for so long we've taken it for granted. Now, as those in poverty across the globe pull themselves up, there is less for us. That America would have less was inevitable. Sad, but inevitable nonetheless. We are entering an new, and what should not have been unforseen, era in American and World history.

I won't be getting any stimulus money. I work too hard to need any help. Maybe I should quit working so I can use all the free money congress and NJ governer wants to give out.

Is CNN able to get the letter to Speaker Pelossi from the twenty Clinton "fat cats" and release their names, the amount of their contributions to Hillary andthe content of the letter?

I certainly won't say no to getting some of my money back. After all, the Republicans have made themselves rich - 5 generations over, from the war in Iraq.

And we haven't even gotten the first "stimulus". Until our Politicians realize that this country has been SHOVED down the ROAD by those globalists who keep on wanting these trade pacts. we will only see more hurt, more poverty, more unemployment, more of the same in this country. I just read an article about what these trade pacts have actually cost this country (by buchanan) Very enlightening. I blame each and every President, Politician, Congressman, Senator, Governor who is pushing this globalist crap onto this country. It will be the death of America in no uncertain terms. I suggest you all read this article. Our Politicians are selling this country out left and right.

Pelosi

No one wants to hear you…….ever since you showed how you favor Senator Obama you lost all respect.

You were supposed to be neutral and instead you acted like an Obamanite!

Your actions in handling the Super Delegate situation has showed us why nothing gets done in Congress………it's because of you lack luster leadership skills.

This is the kind of womam I like. Hillary is the worst person in this planet. We do not want a woman like hillary represent us she is a digrace to woman also to the world for that matter. Some one kick this woman to the curve. I love Nancy Pelosi we need more woman like her in the white house. Hopefuly a woman president in 2016 after Obama's second term.

We wouldn't need the money if the GOP favorite President hadn't started a war in IRAQ!!! So for all you GOP folks on here blaming the Democrats for your woes, go look in the mirror!!!

Because I do remember when most of the Democrats were under the strong foot of the GOP and calling for a troop drawn down, they were all labeled unpatriotic.

So please don't go blaming anyone but yourself for the mess we are in now!!!

You were duped by the GOP in 2k and 04 and if you don't wise up in this election you idiots could be duped again with McCain!!!

I do not think that another of her not-well- tought out ideas will help. Please Pelosi, stop making silly suggestions.

Thanks to Nancy and Harry's leadership the economy is in the tank. After just two years with these two in control this country is in the worst shape ever. Their solution to every problem is to throw money at it and put more illegal immigrants on social service hand outs rolls.
In two more years of these two's leadership where will we be?

The first stimulus package was a joke and if another is offered it probably will be too. These itty bitty refunds offered to hard working Amercans will make little difference is right. Change the whole tax system I for one am being eaten alive with taxes and cannot afford anything its tought scrambling to buy groceries and pay my mthly bills.

Madam do-nothing certainly does like to grab headlines doesnt she? She has been a dismal speaker, leading the new Democratic majority into low approval ratings and a history of getting nothing done. Is she angling for the VP spot?

Think the wheels are falling off the wagon?

Ok, this needs to stop. stop stop stop. stop giving our money to the losers who over bet on the housing market!! STOP IT! Congress is going to end up turning me into a republican - gah!

Brad….WHATEVER DUDE!……….You comment comes across as if all the American's suffering put more on their plate than they can handle and that's false! I know many people who've tried to do the right thing by saving just to come out on the low end of the totem pole. Apparently you must be doing finanically well, but many can't say that. The Bush Administration created this fiasco of a mess we call an economy so he should do more before he jets from office leaving a bigger mess for the next administration.

The best stimulus package to promote is this:

PUT IMPEACHMENT BACK ON THE TABLE!

and I thought the first plan was the stupidest idea I has ever heard?

The American people should act by not only impeach but expelling him.
He is responsable for the killing of American soldiers
fighting a wrong war.
He is the cause for the good American people losing their jobs.
I don't think the Nation can go one more year under his
leadership.
He has been damaged American respet in the whole world.
Wake up Americans your enemy is in the White House

The only stimulus that we need is Barack Obama.

this is crazy you do understand that they will get half this money back anyway from the taxes they receive from the purchse of items people buy with this money. Then lets not forget Tax time next year I bet its counted as income possibly lowering your tax return next year.

This is an economic cycle. The economy will turn around. I don't believe the people in Washington can do anything useful about it. It's going to take a little bit of effort on the peoples part and everything will turn out ok.

President Bush+no new job+higher gas prices=2004 to2008, now really look at if it's are falt in some way where that we let him do it.! no one want's to do anything about it. not me.. I am too busy trying to find a job out there so I can feed my family, and car. maybe tomorrow will be better then today.

To Larry - YES! Please do consider impeachment and why not add war crimes and gross incompetence into the mix as well. Almost the entire federal government falls under at least one of those categories.

Leave it to the government to use the same failed solution for the exact same problem.

…or we could all ride bicycles or walk to the market when we need to pick up a few items instead of firing up the SUV.

Do people forget what Hillary has done with the Bush administration 2 years ago when Hillary did the same thing Pelosi is trying to do now???

The economic recession and turmoil that has overtaken and affected the majority of Americans is a result of George Bush, his administration, and the rubber-stamp Republican Congress (2001- 2006). We all need to remember that Sept. 11, the economic downturn, $4/ gal. gas prices, the debacle in Iraq resulting in 4,000 plus dead soldiers, and much more all happened on his watch.
He will be smirking and laughing all the way to Crawford Texas on 01/20/09.

Hmmm….CLINTON was warning the President at EVERY Turn about the Economy IN JULY LAST YEAR. EVERY TURN.

In January, she said the stimulus package was a start, but NOT enough. That ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN NOW…not after the election.

Sorry…I would rather have Clinton in charge of the Economy any day of the week before Obama or Bush.

I am not a politician. I might not understand all, but Bush got this country here, and he did not have too much experience. So, why people think that another one with no experience will do better?
We need an experienced person to lead. Hillary is, plus Mr. president Clinton will be near by to help if needed.

Too little too late as usual from this democrat congress.

If you REALLY want a stimulus, then make Hillary the Commandr in Chief.

-Hillary and Nader, 2008

April In Texas, I agree with you.

Fix it now by putting Hillary in office.

-Hillary and Nader 2008

MY rebate check is going to be invested in my kids future , it is going straight to ( Barack Obama )

I don't think so…They are throwing money away. Most people said they won't even spend the first one, they're going to use it to pay bills or save it. All this is doing is pushing us deeper in the hole. Democrats sometimes just want way too much. Thats why after I voted for Barack I switched my party affiliation to Independent.

Does China really own us? And for the first loan for Bush's Stimuli
package we borrowed Billions for China? And how much interest
are they charging us? Are the Chinese going to buy up our repossessed homes? Oh, God Help Us!!!!

Obama for Real Change 2008. No to Edwards.

A year late and a few billion dollars short.., as usual for this pitiful 110th Congress.

Make a difference. Donate all or part of your refund check to your candidate of choice.

So much for those balance the budget campaign promises Nancy and the dems road to power on..

Uh Ohhhhh! Reality check for the mindless…

Hi Madam
I hate Bush presidency ,only people Benefit form Bush presidency Comedians
The congress approval rate less than Bush approval rate what it shows you are not doing your job properly. stop giving statements do some thing for Americans. Do you think with $600 can we pay our bills Please be practical do some thing

Bush, "What, me worry?" as Rome and Iraq burn.

Act like the Republicans would if the roles were reveresed. They would force you Democrats and the President to go on record to vote against and the President to veto a bill helping the American People. Just as they have done to you Democrats in the past.
You and Senator Reid talk a good game, but you don't walk the walk.

I don't understand what point people are trying to make when they complain people will just use the stimulus money to pay off their debts. Am I the only person who can see that having people out of debt would be a longer term benefit to the economy than blowing it at Wal-Mart? No, everyone can't pay off their debt with $600 (I know I can't) but it will really help a lot of people see the light and give them the $600 they were in debt to spend down the road. You can't just look at the here and now - that causes economic problems. Duh.

How is giving poor people money to pay their bills considered an "economic stimulus plan"? That in NO WAY stimulates ANY economy!! Call it what it is Nancy…another welfare program.

I am so tired of seeing this face. This do-nothing in the Congress lady talked everywhere recently trying to divide and damage her own party. She has yet to explain why a joint ticket is impossible, which is the best chance to unit the party!

Can CNN please just report the story but not show her picture in the future???

Nancy, I do not know whether you are qualified to be speaker of our country. After all you are coming from the liberal world of San Francisco. You need to ask Barack to give back all the campaign money because he is taking in lot of public money which can create good stimulus in the economy. Barack, go away…

IF Pelosi and her man Obama have their way, everybody would be getting checks from the gov,and sitting around going DUH! While they ruin the country!!!

One was too many. I don't care to take a loan with China, thanks.

I am a HIllary supporter and I am all for strong and successful women but Pelosi? She's not really all there…its perplexing how she got to be the house speaker.

And are we going to borrow more money from China to pay for this? Enough is enough! Why don't you take away some of the federal tax on gasoline, that would help us right away and help everyone. No more debt!

IMPEACH!

Why doesn't Congress just reduce taxes for everybody instead of doing these stupid rebates? Just my two cents.

The government can't keep bailing everyone out every couple of months. People are not being responsible for themselves. Alot of people took out bigger mortgages than they should have so they could pay off cars, take vacations, etc. NOW they want the government to bail them out. NONSENSE. People have to show responsibility for their actions not whine and cry to the government. Everyone wants everything handed to them. I don't want my taxes raised to pay off another debt to China for another round of stimulus money so I can buy their products to help their economy.

Get rid of the subsidies to ethenol. That is the reason food prices are going higher and provides incentives for oil to stay at current levels. This is the better 2nd stimulus package.

Well speaker Pelosi (and the rest of Congress) this time make it a real economic stimulus package. Something that will really help the economy, as well as the under an un-employed.

Rather than running up the deficit by billions of dollars by sending checks that will either be A: Saved, B: used to pay down bills, or C: spent because of limited income, let’s bring back the WPA!

With all the roads and bridges that need repaired in this country, lets do two things at once. The under and un-employed could get real training that they could use in the future, they can get paid for doing something now, and our country can get the repairs it so desperately needs. That would be a real return on the investment.

Too darn late. I've already lost my home. I'll never vote for a Republican or an OBAMA.

Hey folks! Listen up. I figured out how to get your comments out of "moderation" Just use atrocious grammar and very bad spelling.

No more stimulus packages. The one thats coming won't help. Most people are so deep in or afraid the bottom will fall out that they will be paying bills or just saving for a worse day. Use the money for education where 1 in 4 students are graduating. Or fix our infrastructure and keep the bridges from falling down. Stimulus means more debt. If we create more debt let it be for something that will matter.

Get rid of these liberal Democrats. I am sick and tire dof my tax dollars going to help everyone and everything. Let the economy play itself out. I thought this was a capialist society.

It is very easy to re-buil America again, the company that is over sea's in other country should be ask why they left the USA in the first place to go to other country? Come to an agreement with them to return to this country and bring the job's back here.
Right now the IRS is not collecting any money from them anyway, while we are paying them to stay in these country, does that make sense? No I don't think so>>>>

Politician must learn to think and make the best deals for the benifit of the country and the people of AMERICA, Have a better idea? I watch C-SPAN every day all day, so speak for the people instead of your pocket and the LOBBIST'S..

Ozz, LA, CA….
……..

The Clinton Crime Family will never allow a joint ticket with Hillary as VP. Doug R. you are a typical dummycrat. 4 dollars a gallon is not here yet and will be under the democratic congress.

Read Senator Obama MLK speach in Indiana today and look for Ozz coment. How to fix Social Security and Medicare.

Will someone read the comment and think very hard about this proposal?

Ozz, LA, CA….

Most everyone in Pensacola makes in the 20,000's. We qualify for a big whopping 300.00. What's the use in even giving one? I just spent that on car repairs and it's not even close to paying my rent for a mth. They put it out there in the media that most taxpayers were getting 600.00 but if you go to irs.com, the calculater gives another story. I guess the 600.00 is for folks who can actually pay their bills.

Speaker Pelosi should be seeking Impeachment of this moron of a pres.. That would not only "stimulate" the American population, but it may also show the rest of the world that we do not condone unconstitutional activities by our executive branch. Thus resulting in the rest of the World beginning to have faith in America again.

Julie…you are an idiot.

More bailouts for irresponsible borrowers and lenders … that's exactly what we need. The biggest problem in this country is that the concept of accountability no longer exists. Kid failing in school? Must be the teachers fault. Can't pay your mortgage (because you fudged a bit on your stated income)? Must be the lenders fault. Got fired? Must the employers fault. Can't get a job? It's The Man's fault.

Why be accountable when you can elect "leaders" that will create welfare programs to perpetuate your pitiful existence.

At last Nancy is concentrating on her duties as Speaker of the House, rather than wasting her precious time on more mundane tasks …….

Terry in Fl -

Since when is the government responsible for paying your rent or your bills? So typical of a person relying on handouts … never enough and you rarely get a thank you.

A second tax break will never happen. That will screw up Halliburtons botton line. George and Dick will be laughig all the way to a Swiss bank with our tax dollars in 09

80,ooo jobs the tip of the ICEBERG!

OOOPS the iceberg is in MELTDOWN!

To late , we are doomed, recession, depression, thanks to the greedy criminals called REPUBLICANS!!!

NO MORE GIVE AWAYS!!!!!!!!!!

If Clinton doesn't get the nomination, I will do my part to help the debt of this country by voting for McCain. Let him put the skids on all the welfare give aways.

Nancy relax already! Don'r jump the gun just yet, let some of this play out, it will bottom out soon. All your doing is trying to set it up in the future for the tax payers to pay for these "stimulus" crap. Don't try to be anything more than you are…an idiot!

Someyimes we need to weather some of these things. The little bit the average person isn't worth all of the emotion your trying to generate over this issue. SO do us all a favor and shut your beer hole and quit the job you have so we don't have to see your old wrinkled face!

The caucus and / or faction to decide on policy of an emergency meeting in the economy is more important to Pelosi and Congress than to have a franchise of the American people in Michigan and Florida the right to vote.

LOL at "Sensible"'s comment above !! Good one

Wait till Obama gets through giving all our money to Africa.

Helping home owners…

You mean helping the 0.1% of homeowners who bought houses well outside their means with adjustable rate mortgages. You want to give them some help holding their 500,000 dollar California dream homes, but the 99.9% living everywhere else…yeah they should pay their mortgage and then pay taxes to the guy living in the McMansion. BRILLIANT

How about keeping all the money you earn for a year, that would be a nice stimulus package. NO TAXES, we will be able to pay for gas, groceries, get out a debt faster and then spend some.

STOP THE WAR NANCY - and otherwise, please keep your mouth shut…especially about the election

A second one??? Before you even see the effect of the first??? Pelosi, Botox has gone to your brain !

The retardation of our government has got to be reaching a peak. I wish there was a way to short it and make some money…

Don't get me wrong, I'd love some more money in my pocket courtesy of our government, but they don't have the money to give. So they'll just print it, which will cause inflation equal to the aggregate amount of stimulus, thus leaving the average person no better off, if not worse. But whatever wins elections, I guess….

Maybe some day these currupt incompetent leeches will realize that the only way to stimulate the economy is to cut government spending and lower government regulations, not to print money and mail it to people.

Sure, when you have a gaping gunshot wound….you don't try another band aid when the first one just slides off…you go to the emergency room and get immediate surgery…….another stimulus package? We need alot more then another stimulus plan….we need a huge economic overhaul. I don't think congress or the Presidip (not a typo) is up to it!

Look, another stimulus package will not help matters any. The only way to get this economy back on track is with a different President. Arranging another stimulus will only put another band-aide on the situation. The economy is an extensive wound which needs stiches and excessive healing. As our economy sits it will never heal if we keep putting band-aides on it. It will just keep bleeding. We need to get to the source and arrange for a long term goal to get this economy back on track to a healing point. And that wont happen until we get a President that really cares about the economy.
