There's a movement afoot to Boycott the Bailout Beggars and Boosters, at least the ones that caused this crisis. I don't how effective that could be.

I good idea but it would need a lot of work to get enough people to support it.

Thanks for the information. There is so much pork and little stimulus in this package it is truly more of the same. It is pay back time and the taxpayers are paying as usual.

The 'Stimulus Package' is still to come. This is what has already been handed out.

Are you ready for this?

GM Is Using $1 Billion of Its Bailout Money In Brazil

Saving American jobs... South American jobs.

You just can't make this stuff up...
GM is using $1 billion of its bailout money to invest in Brazil.

Direct from the bailout funding from the US government.

$1 billion goes south. Where do jobs in the US get saved in this deal? How does this help OUR economy? How many begged Congress not to bail them out?
