Jeff Crouere -

The Stimulus Plan is now at $900 billion and growing. Some believe this money will help Louisiana and other states, while others are concerned that this will add to our national debt and prolong the recession. What is your view?

Jeff Crouere -

Governor Jindal said that if he were in Congress, he would have voted against it. However, he will probably accept the money if it is sent to Louisiana. Hypocrisy?

11:09

Jeff Crouere - What I find sort of disturbing is that the stimulus plan is filled with pork, typical government spending and will add at least $1 trillion to the debt. Will we ever pay this money back?

[Comment From ep504]
How can this stimulus bill actually help some states in the U.S. while hurting others? If the general effect is negative, then where is the actual positive that could help states like Louisiana?

[Comment From Joe]
This plan is utterly ridiculous. Why are so many politicians lining up to support it? It does not make sense and is fiscally irresponsible.

11:19

Jeff Crouere - Joe,

I think that the politicians are pandering to the masses and trying to act like they are doing something to address this situation. In fact, they are making it worse.

[Comment From Robert C.]
I hope the Senate can stop the bill. I hope then that it can get a pork-ectomy (a procedure to remove the pork). Then we'd have a starting point to discuss. Plus, isn't this stimulus merely a plan money over a long period of time? How is money in year 3 or later going to stimulate today's economy.

Jeff Crouere -

The Senate must stop this bill. Doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing.

[Comment From TAT]
How do you propose to get the money sooner then? Give everyone a blank check?

11:24

Jeff Crouere - The last thing we should do is send people a blank check, especially people that do not pay taxes.
