      WASHINGTON—Members of Congress assured Americans that they have a definitive plan for reviving the slumping economy when they unveiled on Monday a bold new fiscal stimulus package that calls for the purchase of a pair of alpacas.



    4. 4

      "We're confident that breeding alpacas will jump-start the economy and lift this nation out of debt once we get the start-up money," said McConnell, who insists the exotic livestock require very little maintenance and are of a gentler temperament than their cousin the llama. "All you need is a fertile male and a female in heat, and nature takes it course. Before you know it, the money is rolling in and there's alpacas everywhere."



    5. 5

      "If for some reason it doesn't work out—which it will—we can always allocate some additional spending for a goat and convert the venture into an executive petting zoo," Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) said. "Those other projects required too much overhead. With alpacas, it's just grass, and we already have the whole National Mall right across the street."



    6. 6

      Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Monday called the new plan "intriguing," but stressed that the nation's economic policy should continue to center around Sen. Robert Byrd's (D-WV) practice of selling soda and candy bars out of his office, which accounted for almost 30 percent of last year's gross domestic product.

      Re: DSummerfan – What the dumb Republicans have done to this country. What they are doing to stop this… Nothing !

      It has nothing to do with Republicans — the tax cuts actually propelled us and made this mess a little more managable. Its the democratic senate and congress that got us where we are along with the morgage regulations put into place by Jimmy Cartere and then revamped by Sen. Frank and Sen. Dodd. Wall St. is forward thinking by about 6 to 9 months and we started to slide when it became evident Obama was cruising to the White House. Now that he is there we are finally taking a serious look at his economic plan and it is pro-government, anti-growth to say the least. Expect it to get worse before it gets better.

      Re: Afed44 – Correct, Obama isn't president yet but the stockmarket is forward looking by about 9 months therefore taking into account the new policies. The market is now down 26% since Nov. 4, this is no coincidence. Much of this financial mess began with the democrats policy of forcing lenders to give sub-prime loans and now we all are paying the price. Obamas econominc plan does nothing to help us out of this crisis. ( oh, and i don't think your an asshole, i don't debate that way , you're just mis-informed )



    20. 20

      Ummm JPMorganChase owns WaMu now……the cuts are from the restructuring of that company.



    21. 21

      Re: buck – I'm not mis-informed at all. If Bush didn't get us into this mess IN THE FIRST place, then we wouldn't be in this crappy economic position at all. It's HIS fault. Obviously, you're just a Rep who believes you're right and there's no other way around it. So I'll just leave it at that. And I DO think you're an asshole. I don't "debate" that way, I just call it like I see it. Way to seem like you're the better person by not name calling. But, the way I see it, you're an idiot Republican, who gives all the others, a bad name.

      Re: Afed44 – You're probably right, it will be really fun watching the democratic senate, democratic congress and the experience and guidance of Obama lead American through all of this.



    24. 24

      All praises to the high exalted mystic ruler Hussein Obama. If he would just get off his ass and say something like he's going to suspend tax hikes he actually might help something. What do you expect from a guy who should not be a dog catcher let alone a President of my country.



    25. 25

      Obama will not change this overnight people you can't really believe it's all cuz of Pres. Bush, Rep, or the Senate.

      We as americans have made poor decisions, credit card debt is at an all time high MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS LIVE WAY BEYOND THEIR MEANS AND PAYCHECK. Welfare biaches walking around with $400.00 purses
      ~~
      IF you make $30,000 dollars a year you can't afford a house do the math you idiots. Just because a lender will loan the money does not mean you can afford the house.

      I have great health insurance becuase I work for it. Why should the welfare family up the street have a free ride provided by my tax dollars.
