I kind of agree with Jack on this one. The owlhoots are already under the gun, no pun intended, for the $800 billion they already spent. The majority of Americans are for an individual right when it comes to guns, and from the poles I saw about the assault weapon ban sunsetting, the majority were in favor of that too. For them to pass a bunch of gun regulations/bans right now will surely result in a bunch of Republicans being elected in 2 years, especially if the economy is still in the tank, which I see absolutely no way it will not be come the next election in November 2010. It might be starting to swing north, but way too many people will still be hurting or smarting from the last 2 years come November 2010. I know it is going to take us quite a while to get save the wealth we had accumulated and lost in our townhouse and retirement funds.

There are about 140 million taxpayers in the US, so the cost per taxpayer is going to be $5,700 for this bill and $5,000 for the bank bailout bill. God only knows when those amounts will be paid.

The country's $12 trillion debt represents $85,700 per taxpayer, not including the interest. Paying that back over 30 years with interest would be about $600 per taxpayer for those $30 years. They should seriously think about passing a bill for a straight $600 tax to everybody earning money to pay back the debt we have incurred so we don't pass it on to the next generation, and then they should balance the budget every year from there on out.

Your Theory sounds good
 

..

They aren't under the gun..they are back in their states telling everybody how much they are gonna get.. The Dems right now think they can't be voted out any longer. They will do whatever they feel they can..He!! they already stole 800 Billion from us the taxpayers..they can also steal your rights away from you. Wait till you see the new fairness doctrine bill. Heck I asked a lady in the grocery store how we were going to pay the 800 Billion back...and she said the government will pay it off. I told her when she said she was going to get 13 bucks more in her check..Well do you realize that your portion of that 800 Billion is going to amount to over 4000 dollars just in principal? When are you going to pay that out of your check?? Then I asked her if she liked paying the salary of everyone that chooses not to work? She looked at me like I had 2 heads and said huh? People just don't get it. Remember Hitler?? The big lie theory?? The dems are going to pass more feel good keep me in power bills than you can imagine..and they are gonna tell you it's for your own good. And you had better believe it because that will be an order
