As job losses mount, Democrats are growing impatient about the impact of the massive stimulus package passed earlier this year, with talk beginning on Capitol Hill about a possible second stimulus bill.

Excellent news. I need me some more right wing hand wringing.

Pff, good luck getting it through Congress. They were in a hurry to pass the last one without proper study because OMG NEED JOBS NOW. They still have hundreds of billions of dollars unspent.

We're in debt enough.

You are late.

Indeed.  They barely got the first one through, and the backlash has been significant.

Oh no! But the first spendulus has hardly even begun to spend! What, are they going to try and do stimulus right this time??

I am beginning to think that US debt doesnt actually matter.  It was too large before the bail out packages but that didnt stop anything.  The US is too important to let fail.  They are the GM of the industrialized nations.

Not really. A bunch of white trash hicks running around with a few FOX News camera crews does not constitute significance.

On the other hand, if they run into enough trouble that they're going to fail, how could the other industrialized economies stop them?

The limits that define "too large" are our supply of ink and paper. We're good on both accounts.

Polls show that around half the country is concerned about the size of the deficit.

Though not concerned enough to do something.  As our hallowed former VP said.  "Deficits don't matter."

Lots of Dems as well, are getting quite concerned. Colin Powell, Warren Buffet, both Obama supporters, have voiced their concerns. Good thing that at least one news channel isn't in the tank too far to report some of the spending concerns.

A week or two ago, even President Obama said the country was out of money!
