Poll: 57% don't see stimulus working
Skepticism presents hurdle for Obama
By Brad Heath
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Six months after President Obama launched a $787 billion plan to right the nation's economy, a majority of Americans think the avalanche of new federal aid has cost too much and done too little to end the recession.
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll found 57% of adults say the stimulus package is having no impact on the economy or making it worse. Even more — 60% — doubt that the stimulus plan will help the economy in the years ahead, and only 18% say it has done anything to help improve their personal situation.

Which makeup brands are your favorite from a packaging standpoint only? And what are your least favorites?
I like the packaging for Nars, Chanel, and MAC, because it is sleek, simple, and black.

Conn Carroll put all this together, and I hope EVERYONE reads it
President Barack Obama wants us to put away out “childish” disagreements. But their is nothing childish about the very real concerns many economist have about his $800 billion soon to be over $1 trillion stimulus package. Those with very adult doubts about how borrowing another dollars can save our economy when we already have a trillion dollar deficit include:
John Bates Clark Medal recipient, Nobel laureate, and University of Chicago economics professor Gary Becker:
Perhaps their estimates of the stimulus provided by direct government spending are in the right ballpark, but I tend to believe that they are excessive.

The packages even come with Jelly Belly Jellybeans that our troops can hand out to Iraqi children they see during the day.
Some packages cost as little as $16!
