Feb. 12 Poll — What Do You Think About the Stimulus Package?
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
President Obama praised the $789 billion economic stimulus package that is close to having congressional approval. What do you think? Take the poll.
Results to this week’s poll will be posted here and announced on-air.
Your last guest tonight (2/5/2009) said he is in the Advertising Business. Question to you: Why don’t you advertise your program and spread the news about the show? 20/20 advertises, 60 minutes advertises….shouldn’t you ?
I watch or DVR the show every week. It is concise and comprehensible for the every day person. Andrew Sorkin is a favorite of mine to read in the NYTimes so it is even better to get more doses of his versatility. I also like that the program is not harsh. Imagine- a program about business in 2009 that is not stressful to absorb.
I have been watching your show regularly. You and your guests explain the economy in a way that I can understand it.Thanks.
This weeks show (2/12) had a lot of……. “Positive Electricity.” I think I’ll spend some money now and buy an American build GM car for my family.
Where are all the comments from yesterday?
Why are you censoring your site by not posting ALL the comments?
These three posts above cannot be US citizens or they work for or with Thirteen or they know nothing about economics and fractional banking.
Shame on this site. I am sorry I thought you were a part of PBS Public Broadcasting System. My donations are to preserve free speech and public opinion. Removing posts only discredits your broadcasts, information and agenda. Please make all posts historically accessable. I will be sure to tell my network of associates about my experience. Shame again on the censorship and the passing off opinion as NEWS.
Lexi,
That is what I was wondering where are all the comments going. You know something I figured it out. Most of their contributors to the program are conservative. They claim that the findings to their stimulus poll is that most people think the stimulus package is too much. Too much for who? What also turns me off about this particular programs is that they bring on the same pundits from the Wall Street Journal or a hedge fund manager who has a pointed view of what they want you to believe.
The average American on Main Street should get most of the money, $100,000 to each family under the $52,000 income. Most families at that income level would buy homes, electronics, and buy cars and among other luxury homes for their homes.
Im concerned that there is no mention of developing domestic oil and gas. These fuels will be necessary for years. Cheap, safe, domestic oil and gas will allow development of domestic manufacturing snd cheap fuels would allow lower costs traveling to work and vacation travel and boost hotel and restaurant clients.
Extend 30 year mortgages for 10-15 more years while the government backs a portion of the payments from years 31-45. During years 31-45, if the person dies, the government backs insurance to pay the balance.
I DON’T THINK THE STIMULUS PACKAGE IS BIG ENOUGH, T0 FIX THIS YEARS ECONOMIC CRISIS. BUT I DO THINK THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL FIX THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, WITH MORE STIMULUS HELP IN THE FUTURE.
Having watched America’s Test Kitchen and tried to log on to get a recipe, I was disappointed to find out I had to sign up (credit card # included). I would get 2 free weeks of Cooks’ Illustrated. There was no way I could get any recipe. What gives?
The Republicans are such obstructionists that they make it very difficult for President Obama, these are not ordinary times they should try harder to work together for the sake of the country.
And just how is so called GREAT STIMULUS PACKAGE going to help the RETIRED Seniors ? How many retired people are making the big BUCKS, DAM few if any. I have not heard the words,RETIRED, or SENIORS in any news releases on this package!
billions and billions of dollars wasted on the automobile industry. The companies and the country would be so much better off with these companies going into bankruptcy, Chapter 11.
The Stimulus Bill did NOT go far enough, and is TOO Small! Where was all this GOP Hand Wringing when Bush/Paulson gave $350 Billion to Wall Street, with NO requirement for transparency, accountability or publication????
This is Typical Slight of Hand by Republicans; distract the electorate from ALL the Damage that 8 years of Bush and 6 years of GOP Congressional/Senate Rubber Stamping of his DISASTEROUS Policies!
