    Massive deficit spending.

    Well, it is a change in magnitude but not actions.

    Steaver,

    I am quite satisfied overall with having Barack Obama as our president. He is already an improvement over George W. Bush and I certainly wouldn't want John McCain continuing George W. Bush's policies.

    And I wish that the just passed jobs bill had been larger - $1.5 trillion over the next two years but with the obstructionist Republicans in place in the Senate I know that couldn't have been passed.

    And if we are all I hope everyone remembers that it was the Republicans who caused this first jobs bill to be so restricted in size.

    "How are you going to use your tax cut to stimulate the economy?"

    I might buy a package of gum. Or hey, maybe I'll just put it in my coin jar with all the other pennies.

    Ken,

    I wouldn't care if the bill was 10 trillion as long as the ten trillion was dirrected to actually jump starting the economy within a year. This bill is crap! The size is not the problem.

    So you are quite satisfied with Obama's "CHANGE we can believe in"? How many tax cheats has he nominated thus far? How many lobyist has he nominated so far? How many insiders has he nominated so far? Same old same old...he lied.

    Sad, very sad. I pray God will indeed change Obama so he may repent of being a liar.

    Jobs bill?

    There was a jobs bill?

    How did I miss that one?

    I know that there was a huge deficit spending bill jammed through by the Democrats.

    Is that what you are confusing with a jobs bill?

    I hold them all to what they say, just as I do you and you should me. The lesson is; do not set aside God's moral values. Christians voted for Obama because they wanted Obama to take care of thier needs, i.e; money. WE are called by God to be ambassadors for Christ, to support what is morally right, to reject what is morally wrong, and to NOT look towards a man to save us from poverty. God knows what we need and will provide. Our responsibility is to do right. Voting for a pro-murder candidate is not "right". Then we go about our day and wonder 'why hasn't God blessed me'?

    Doesn't matter Jamie. Christians knew Obama is pro-murder and McCain is pro-life. Should we cast aside God's morals for the love of money?

    Again, it doesn't matter if the hearers will not listen or change. WE are called to preach and teach the morals of Jesus Christ. If WE do this WE are successful in the eyes of OUR God. If the hearers will not hear, God will judge them. WE must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.

    I agree, you are really supporting my pov. I talk one on one with Christians on this board showing them the error of yoking themselves together with non-Christians and pro-murder representatives. My focus is on the fellow brother or sister in Christ, warning them what God says about such deeds, hoping they will repent.

    I agree with you. I was once a drunkard and a adulterer. Immoral sins just the same as homosexuallity. Some brothers in Christ witnessed to me and helped lead me out of these sins. As I said, I speak to fellow Christians about yoking up with representatives who promote the torture and killing of children. Yoking up with these men and women through our voting system is no different than Pilate delivering Jesus over to be executed and then trying to declare his hands are clean of this man's blood. Anyone who voted for Obama has the blood of thousands of murdered children on their hands.

    How do you think the economy got in the mess it did?

    One contributing factor...a large one: People taking your advice. Not living within their means. Borrowing money for stupid stuff. Buying too much house, with a dangerous ARM or a crazy interest-only loan.

    Ya'll can spend everything if you want. It's wise to save, and that's what I'm doing.

    Not to mention...and sorry for the arrogance...but if more folks used the philosophy I've listed here, we'd have a whole lot fewer people whose lifestyles we have to subsidize.

    I see we are going to agree to disagree because I understand what you're doing I just don't believe in practice it will be as effective as it needs to be.

    So with that being said and knowing we won' t agree, I will s twe areubmit this. I will wait until the next election and see how 'your teachings' vary or stay the same.... Remember though, the GOP isn't God's party, so watch who you vote for in the coming elections....

    Amen! I am sick to the hilt of the Republican Party raping Christians for their votes. I am stick to the hilt of Christians trying to put each other on a guilt trip as if God is going to judge them personally unless they vote for the"lesser of two evils" as if God has sanctioned and depends upon the Republican Party to fulfill His will. I believe that God is sovereign, that His hand is not foreshortened, and that He is not biting His nails hoping that Christians will vote the Republican in office so that the evil Democrats don't overwhelm Him. I don't believe that it is God's will that Christians must compromise their faith.

    This last election has convinced me even more to do my homework and vote only my conscience. All the guilt trips and materialist-minded Christian philosophy did not change the inevitable one bit: God willed that Obama be President, for whatever reason. His sovereign will is good, holy, and just. I did not vote for the lesser or greater of two evils. I voted my conscience for someone who had "no chance of winning." I have zero remorse for my vote and am at total peace. Those who voted for the lesser of two evils have to watch his actions following the election and feel let down, exploited, and sold. I thank God I do not.

    I was thinking the same thing. These big stimulus packages is debts against our treasury and will absolutely ruin our economy. When our money becomes rather useless, it will be bad for the working slob and senior citizens, people deep in debt, and upside down mortages.

    You mean the government cannot simply print real wealth? You mean money doesn't really grow on trees? Say it ain't so!

    I am going to send mine to KenH so he can initiate a "fairness doctrine" on his program and buy some hip hop, hard rock, heavy metal, death metal, and other assorted noise makers.
