The latest Gallup Poll shows congressional approval increasing over the last month, coinciding with their efforts to get the economic recovery package through.
I would have liked to see the stimulus package remain more focused on large infrastructure improvements. But still, I’m glad congress took action. We need to see job creation, house prices stabilizing, and credit markets unfrozen in order to restore our economic health. The stimulus package is intended to work the job element.
The poll means squat as it was taken during the glow of inauguration, I’d love to see what the feeling is now…

The first rule that doctors learn is “Do no harm.” This basically means that unless you know what you’re doing, it’s best to leave things alone. There’s a whole cadre of economists that think that the spending package will prolong the problem in the same manor that Japan prolonged it’s late 1990’s recession by trying to spend their way out of it.
The trouble is that the economy will recover anyways, so we’ll never *know* if this thing helped or hindered.
If I only knew
Dang, if I had any idea that President Hopenchange was going to handle my mortgage, I wouldn’t have done the responsible thing and paid off my house 8 years ago. It’s also nice that our property taxes went up again. We never truly own our homes. I wonder if Mr Hope could ever speak without the help of a teleprompter? I’d rather watch R2D2 give a speech. He can’t even do a press conference without the teleprompter. I have no faith in this phony. We are going to be digging our way out of a hole for many years to come. Cradle to grave has begun. There are going to be many libs that are going to be hurt in this economy. I think they will be more disappointed than conservatives. TCC
Hello Renton!!!
I’m Happy Flower – I’m here to help defeat the nasty GOP who have congregated here in order to hurt our beloved president.
As we all know, Obama promised an open government free from corruption and special interests and boy has he delivered! I’ve never seen such thoughtful deliberation and care that went in to slowly crafting the glorious stimulus bill.
Thank you Obama! And thank you Renton, don’t let those nasty Re-pubs get you down.

Hail to the happy flower for uncovering the dastardly dead’s of the spendulus bill.
