Floyd Brown is once again the guest author of my blogspot.
Barack Obama is demonstrating just how little he understands basic economics. He believes growing the government at a rapid rate is what causes prosperity, declaring America must spend our way out of this recession. He also in recent weeks scolded "fat cat bankers," telling them they need to loan more money out in order to get our economy going again. Obama's economic illiteracy is plunging our country into economic ruin.
From bailouts, to company takeovers, healthcare reform and stimulus bills: if it involves greater taxpayer involvement Obama supports it.
When Obama reported that the Treasury had received back $200 billion in TARP funds, he declared that he planned to spend that money on a second stimulus while paying down the debt. This is patently untrue. America will not be paying down any debt. The Senate is moving to raise the debt ceiling by over $1.8 Trillion. Actually, we will be borrowing a record sum, as Obama mortgages our future to “spend us out of this recession.
The problem with his policy is that it doesn't work. Government spending has never created prosperity. Every dollar the government spends must be taken from someone else. Government engages in wealth transfer not wealth creation. Borrowing money and running sizable deficits is transferring wealth from the future generation, which faces paying off Obama's credit card. The bill must be paid someday. Obama is robbing future generations in order to support his binge spending.
Obama's first Stimulus was nothing more than a slush fund of money, used by Democrats to support their liberal pet projects. $6 Million worth of stimulus money lined the pockets of Democratic pollster Mark Penn who used it to create three jobs. $18 Million from the stimulus went to fund Obama’s recovery website, which reported on jobs saved and stimulus money spent in Congressional districts that do not exist. With that kind of success rate it should surprise no one that Obama's approval rating has plummeted to 45%. American voters understand government spending is not the recipe for recovery.
Recently, Obama met with leading bankers, individuals he referred to as “fat cats.” In his meeting Obama pushed these banks to lend more and loosen up their capital requirements on loans. Nobody is arguing that these banks need or deserve the outrageous bonuses they have been pocketing after Obama bailed them out with the taxpayers' dime, but the idea that they need to lend more is nearly ludicrous.
The reason the housing market collapsed in the first place was because Congress pushed Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to loan nearly half of their assets to families with incomes below the national median. Coupled with the Community Reinvestment Act, which forced banks to make imprudent loans, overzealous lending created an artificial housing bubble that collapsed. After the CRA was expanded in 1995, bank loans going to low- and moderate-income families increased by 80%. These were the same banks that were later attacked for being predatory for taking undue risks. They were making poor loans, but it was at the behest of a federal government that was trying to artificially increase home ownership amongst people not equipped for the responsibilities of home ownership.
Fast forward back to today, Obama is now encouraging banks to make more loans, asking banks to take more risk. This is the same Obama who has criticized banks for making risky loans in the past. By creating business climate uncertainty Obama is not helping our country to stabilize. Obama's conflicting messages are confusing. Which Obama are banks suppose to listen to; the one who demonizes risky behavior, or the one who demonizes banks for sitting on their assets?
Obama's meeting with bank leaders was simply political theatre as was his recent jobs summit. Jobs aren't created by bureaucrats sitting around talking. They are created when people are free to innovate and create without undue fear of erratic government behavior. If the government would cut back on its wild spending, cut taxes and promote a stable regulatory environment, the private sector would start creating new jobs.
Warm regards,

WHERE WE CAME FROM IS NOT WHERE WE ARE HEADING AND THIS CERTAINLY IS THE WRONG DIRECTION.
Mary Jones has asked that we share this with as many people as we can, so here it is in my Blog, and let me say It says It ALL!
Our real roots...A history lesson that needs to be told....
OUR REAL ROOTS:
Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.
It is the same congress that formed the American Bible Society.. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, 'Give me liberty or give me death.' But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what he said: 'An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.'
These sentences have been erased from our textbooks.
Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this 'It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.'
Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well- worn Bible: 'I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also.'
Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell speech on September 19, 1796:
'It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.'
Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from his personal prayer book: 'Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thy son, Jesus Christ.'
Consider these words by John Adams, our second president, who also served as chairman of the American Bible Society.
In an address to military leaders he said, 'We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.'
How about our first Court Justice, John Jay?
He stated that when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. 'Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.'
John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth U.S. President.
He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, 'The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.'
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, 'The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.'
In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: 'The congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools
William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the 'Schoolmaster of the Nation.'
Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: 'The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no apology.'
Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first.
Harvard University , chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the scriptures:
'Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let everyone seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him (Proverbs 2:3).'
For over 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!
It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith, were foundational in our educational and judicial system. However in 1947, there was a radical change of direction in the Supreme Court.
Here is the prayer that was banished:
'Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee. We beg Thy blessings upon us and our parents and our teachers and our country.
Amen.'
In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading was outlawed as unconstitutional in the public school system. The court offered this justification: 'If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children.'
Bible reading was now unconstitutional , though the Bible was quoted 94 percent of the time by those who wrote our constitution and shaped our Nation and its system of education and justice and government.
In 1965, the Courts denied as unconstitutional the rights of a student in the public school cafeteria to bow his head and pray audibly for his food.
In 1980, Stone vs. Graham outlawed the Ten Commandments in our public schools.
The Supreme Court said this: 'If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments were to have any effect at all, it would be to induce school children to read them. And if they read them, meditated upon them, and perhaps venerated and observed them, this is not a permissible objective.'
Is it not a permissible objective to allow our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments???
James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: 'We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.'
Today we are asking God to bless America. But how can He bless a Nation that has departed so far from Him?
Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots. I , Mary Jones, the designer of this web page, encourage all who read and agree with the words herein, to share it with others, so that the truth of our nation's history may be told.
FOR REAL CHANGE WE MUST RELY ON GOD, FOR ONLY HE ANSWERS PRAYER..

UNJUSTIFIESD TAXATION OR HIGH CRIME AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF THE U.S.A.
The issue of direct v. indirect taxes has been debated in Congress beginning not long after the constitutional ink had dried. From page 1898 of The Annals of Congress (the 4th Congress, 1797) Representative Williams from New York was recorded as reminding Congress of the Roman example of direct v. indirect taxation.
"History, Mr. W. said, informed them of the annihilation of nations by means of direct taxation. He referred gentlemen to the situation of the Roman Empire in its innocence, and asked them whether they had any direct taxes? No. Indirect taxes and taxes upon the luxuries and spices from the Indies were their sources of revenue but, as soon as they changed their system to direct taxation, it operated to their ruin; their children were sold as slaves, and the Roman Empire fell from its splendor. Shall we then follow this system? He trusted not."
By the late 1800s and up until the passage of the 16th Amendment in 1913 the people of this country demanded their legislators levy an income tax on accumulated wealth. This was because families such as the Camegies and the Morgans were virtually untaxed and controlling national politics with their vast and ever-increasing fortunes. By reading the Congressional Record, House and Senate documents, newspapers, magazines, law journal articles of the time and the writings of the people who were intimately involved in the development of the 16th Amendment, we will find that the intent was to tax the annual profit from unincorporated businesses and the net annual income from personal property. Wages and salaries from labor were not considered income within the original meaning and intent of the 16th Amendment.
Taxes on labor, as currently collected by the IRS as an "income" tax, cannot be described as anything other than a direct tax.
Senator Norris Brown from Nebraska, the man who wrote the 16th Amendment, defined clearly what income was and what the income tax was intended to accomplish. Not once did Sen. Brown mention that Congress intended to pass an amendment that would grant the federal government a new power to directly tax the wages or salaries of working people.
These comments are from the forward to the book, Constitutional Income: Do You Have Any?
Read this book to discover how our civil leaders have defrauded you and the rest of the hard working people of this great nation of their hard-earned wages. They have squandered the money on social programs that have fostered laziness and bred criminals -- all for the sake of political power. You need to read the rest of the story -- Order your copy of the book today!

The information has been provided in this format to give the reader a new perspective on the income tax, based upon the intent of those who debated the issue at the time the 16th Amendment was offered for ratification. The author sees himself as only a messenger bringing forward information from established legal authorities.
The reader should realize that defending one's rights is risky, especially against big government. The right to pursue happiness has been denied to many Americans who have found themselves destitute after entanglements with the tax collector.

PATRIOTS OR TRAITORS
Heres my point,
I do not know if Palin is going to run, or if her intent is to throw road blocks up to slow down the leftist agenda. I do believe she is qualified to be President based on the real qualities needed. Intelligent, integrity, and common sense. Things not present in current leadership.
I am a conservative, however I am of the Wiley C Sampson variety. Wylie as you may or may not know wrote ‘The Patriots Primer’ He covered a lot of ground, but what I feel is very important and a belief I have adopted as my own, is, he wrote,
“there is no such thing as an ultraconservative, you either are conservative or you are liberal”. There is no room in the conservative movement for moderates or centrists. I have traveled most of this country, I have talked to people in taverns, churches, schools, factories, retail stores, dock workers, ditch diggers, law-enforcement officers at every level, city county and state, and if there is one thing they have in common more often than not, they are conservative. A conservative, a true conservative does not need to seek a bigger tent to win. But first they have to prove they are conservative. Palin has done that.
Next issue, who does she get for a running mate that fills the bill? Guys, this country is at risk of being lost to the socialist holding the majority of power at this time. Let me assure you they are cowards and if we show we are not afraid to stand up to them, they will slink away. WRITE. CALL, FAX, EMAIL DAILY, THEY CAN BE HELD AT BAY UNTIL WE GET THE COUNTRY BACK. Oh, by the way Wylie’s book is still available but hard to find, also read “DIVIDING THE WEALTH” by James Kirshner, he will open your eyes to what is happening in D.C. I intend to add to this post in the coming days, please read it again in the future. I got your back. Joe

Have you ever been asked by your represenative what you want them to do in Congress?
WASHINGTON –
Senate Democrats overcame a Republican (means they got the republicans to lay down)
filibuster to clear the way for a vote Sunday on a huge end-of-year $1.1 trillion spending bill that includes money to run much of the government and pay for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. (substitue, inflation building bill)
The spending measure gives the Education Department, the State Department, the Department of Health and Human Services and others generous budget increases far exceeding inflation. ( JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT THIS TIME, WHEN WE ARE SO FLUSH IN THE FERDERAL COFFERS.)
On Saturday, the Democratic controlled Senate voted 60-34 to end the GOP filibuster that threatened to hold up the legislation.( Well they have to make it look good.)
A final vote was set for Sunday afternoon whether to send the measure to President Barack Obama. ( Pre-determind outcome, is yes, spend it, we are not deep enough in debt yet to enslave every middle class citizen to the poor house.
Democrats held Saturday's vote open for an hour to accommodate Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an Orthodox Jew,( a weak man who knows he can't cut it
out of the protected halls of congress in the real world)
who walked more than three miles to the Capitol to vote on the Sabbath after attending services at his synagogue. Lieberman, wearing a black wool overcoat and bright orange scarf, finally provided the crucial 60th vote. (NOT TO MENTION HIS COAT WAS ALSO REVERSABLE, YOU KNOW A TURNCOAT.)
The 1,000-plus-page bill (Where is the enviromental police when they cut down all the trees needed to make the paper for the 2,000 page health bill and now this 1,000 page joke on the American people.)(attack on our wallet)
brings together six of the 12 annual spending bills that Congress had been unable to pass separately even though the new fiscal year began Oct. 1 because of partisan roadblocks. (Because none of them had enough merit on their own).
It includes $447 billion in operating budgets with about $650 billion in mandatory payments for federal benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as an estimated $3.9 billion for more than 5,000 back-home projects sought by individual lawmakers in both parties.( 5,000 porkbarrel projects would be more like it.)
The bill increases spending by an average of about 10 percent to programs under immediate control of Congress, blending increases for veterans' programs, NASA and the FBI with a pay raise for federal workers and help for car dealers.
(YEP, I SURE ENOUGH GOT A 10% INCREASE IN MY WAGES THIS YEAR.)
Republicans who fought the bill said it provides too much money at a time when the government is running astronomical deficits. "Obviously we need to run the government, but do you suppose the government could be a little bit like families and be just a little bit prudent in how much it spends?" said Sen Jon Kyl R. Az.
( A LITTLE BIT)?????????But the second-ranking Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said the measure restores money for programs cut under former President George W. Bush such as popular grant programs for local police departments to purchase equipment and put more officers on the beat.
The legislation also:
_Includes an improved binding arbitration process to challenge the decision by General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC to close more than 2,000 dealerships.
_Renews a federal loan guarantee program for steel companies.
_Permits detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be transferred to the U.S. for trial, but not to be released.
_Calls for federal worker pay increases averaging 2 percent.
When are we going to hold our elected officials accountable for their actions? Watch close now. remember how a less than quorm of congress passed the tax bill in 1916 by having those who supported the bill stay after Christmas break, they were told to hang around and not say anything to those who might oppose this bill. Then with fewer members then is required they voted on and passed the income tax bill that John D. oilrichfeller had bought and paid for. It is not a crime to be rich, it is a crime to be rich and try to cheat others by buying influence. How many elected officials have been bought? How do you know your has not been bought? This is the time to take charge of our country, time to hold elected officials accountable. It is time to get the career Senators and Congressmen out of office, insist on term limits, and make it a national referendum vote before congress can spend more money than they take in. We have been taken over by the builderburgers and did not see them coming. Obama is their puppet, and so are most of our polititions.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN, AND HE WILL WHEN WE THANK GOD FOR OUR BLESSING and GET rid of the president who says we are not a Christian Nation.
Senate Democrats overcame a Republican (means they got the republicans to lay down)
filibuster to clear the way for a vote Sunday on a huge end-of-year $1.1 trillion spending bill that includes money to run much of the government and pay for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. (substitue, inflation building bill)
The spending measure gives the Education Department, the State Department, the Department of Health and Human Services and others generous budget increases far exceeding inflation. ( JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT THIS TIME, WHEN WE ARE SO FLUSH IN THE FERDERAL COFFERS.)
On Saturday, the Democratic controlled Senate voted 60-34 to end the GOP filibuster that threatened to hold up the legislation.( Well they have to make it look good.)
A final vote was set for Sunday afternoon whether to send the measure to President Barack Obama. ( Pre-determind outcome, is yes, spend it, we are not deep enough in debt yet to enslave every middle class citizen to the poor house.
Democrats held Saturday's vote open for an hour to accommodate Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an Orthodox Jew,( a weak man who knows he can't cut it
out of the protected halls of congress in the real world)
who walked more than three miles to the Capitol to vote on the Sabbath after attending services at his synagogue. Lieberman, wearing a black wool overcoat and bright orange scarf, finally provided the crucial 60th vote. (NOT TO MENTION HIS COAT WAS ALSO REVERSABLE, YOU KNOW A TURNCOAT.)
The 1,000-plus-page bill (Where is the enviromental police when they cut down all the trees needed to make the paper for the 2,000 page health bill and now this 1,000 page joke on the American people.)(attack on our wallet)
brings together six of the 12 annual spending bills that Congress had been unable to pass separately even though the new fiscal year began Oct. 1 because of partisan roadblocks. (Because none of them had enough merit on their own).
It includes $447 billion in operating budgets with about $650 billion in mandatory payments for federal benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as an estimated $3.9 billion for more than 5,000 back-home projects sought by individual lawmakers in both parties.( 5,000 porkbarrel projects would be more like it.)
The bill increases spending by an average of about 10 percent to programs under immediate control of Congress, blending increases for veterans' programs, NASA and the FBI with a pay raise for federal workers and help for car dealers.
(YEP, I SURE ENOUGH GOT A 10% INCREASE IN MY WAGES THIS YEAR.)
Republicans who fought the bill said it provides too much money at a time when the government is running astronomical deficits. "Obviously we need to run the government, but do you suppose the government could be a little bit like families and be just a little bit prudent in how much it spends?" said Sen Jon Kyl R. Az.
( A LITTLE BIT)?????????But the second-ranking Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said the measure restores money for programs cut under former President George W. Bush such as popular grant programs for local police departments to purchase equipment and put more officers on the beat.
The legislation also:
_Includes an improved binding arbitration process to challenge the decision by General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC to close more than 2,000 dealerships.
_Renews a federal loan guarantee program for steel companies.
_Permits detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be transferred to the U.S. for trial, but not to be released.
_Calls for federal worker pay increases averaging 2 percent.
When are we going to hold our elected officials accountable for their actions? Watch close now. remember how a less than quorm of congress passed the tax bill in 1916 by having those who supported the bill stay after Christmas break, they were told to hang around and not say anything to those who might oppose this bill. Then with fewer members then is required they voted on and passed the income tax bill that John D. oilrichfeller had bought and paid for.

COME ON WISCONSIN, JOIN THE SOUTH IN HEART IF NOT IN HEAT.
OKLAHOMA MAY JUST BE THE PLACE
TO LIVE!
An update from
Oklahoma :
Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9, had a few liberals in the mix, an amendment
to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol.
The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this
is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330
Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal
immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to
get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB
1804. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state. This was against the
advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a
mistake.
Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to
the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said
it was unconstitutional. SB 1102
Guess what........ Oklahoma did it anyway.
Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state,
not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana
andUtah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow:
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri,
Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money,
it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003
The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma,
a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to
bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a set
back for the criminals (and Obamaites). Liberals didn't like it -- But
....
Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Just this month, my state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's
license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other
language. We have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that
ALL of our road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in
Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.
- - OKLAHOMA , YES !
By the way,
The Attorney General does not like any of this.
Guess what....who cares...
Oklahoma is doing it anyway.
TO LIVE!

GOD HELP US FROM THIS IDIOT
The plan was to retire the debt as soon as possible. But this IDIOT wants to spend the "paidback money",(to create Jobs) No one is going to hire any employees as long as OBAMA continues to insure there will be higher inflation that will keep any of us from having enough money to eat, let alone buy produce or service we can get along without. Someone give this man a brain, please! If you owe the government any money, do not, I repeat, do NOT give it to this guy before you absolutly have to. He will throw it a way and ask for more. Truely taxation without brains. DUMB ARE SPELLED OBAMA. He would not know what job was if he had one.
While acknowledging increasing concerns in Congress and among the public over the nation's growing debt, Obama said critics present a "false choice" between paying down deficits and investing in job creation and economic growth.
To pay for the new programs, the administration is citing the Treasury Department's report on Monday that it expects to get back $200 billion in taxpayer-approved bank bailout funds faster than expected.
Obama suggested this windfall would both help the government spend money on job creation while also paying down the nation's debt, which now totals $12 trillion.
Obama called the bank bailout, under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), "galling."
"There has rarely been a less loved — or more necessary — emergency program," Obama said. The program is expected to go out of business at the end of this year unless extended by Congress.
Since the program is costing taxpayers at least $200 billion less than expected, Obama said, "This gives us a chance to pay down the deficit faster than we thought possible and to shift funds that would have gone to help the banks on Wall Street to help create jobs on Main Street."
But Republicans continued to insist that the leftover and repaid TARP money must be used exclusively for deficit reduction and not for a new jobs program.
"The president's announcement is further proof that TARP has morphed from an emergency injection of liquidity to thaw frozen credit markets into a $700 billion revolving slush fund to promote the Democrats' political, social and economic agenda," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.
Obama said he is backing the measures he outlined because they "will generate the greatest number of jobs while generating the greatest value for our economy."
