The stimulus bill passed a while back and some people are still under the impression that they are going to personally profit from it. Unless you are able to get a new job that comes directly out of the stimulus bill, the ordinary man on the street is going to see none of this money that is being thrown around so freely by the government.

The bureaucrats see these companies as being too big and too important to fail so we must all pay for their mistakes. If you have made a mistake, it is unlikely the government will bail you out. But if you are a big company, you get a free pass over and over. Obama inherited a big financial problem it is true. This would be a huge challenge for any President but one has to wonder whether he is just making the problem worse.

This is upsetting to many as those who have played by the rules and run their companies responsibly will be paying for the mistakes of others. We will all be paying for the incompetence of these companies that did not plan well for the future and the changing economy. In the free market capitalist society we live in, wouldnt it be better to just let these companies fail like they are supposed to?

What organizations are going to be the recipients of the Obama government grants that he and the government are giving out? Will these grants and stimulus money continue to go to the same colleges and organizations that have been getting them the past eight years or will new ones get them.

It seems that everyone is in line for some of this money except individuals who might really need it. Some people are getting assistance with lower mortgage payments but there doesnt seem to be many ways for the common person to benefit.

At present, there is an ongoing debate in congress whether to legalize, regulate or ban internet gambling altogether. However, its more popularly known as a lobbyist issue. We all know that ordinary American citizens don’t give any concern on this issue because it doesn’t necessarily affect their day to day living. But there are small factions in the whole population that is concern on this issue in their

These groups no matter how small they are can place any Senator and congressman in hot water. On one side the lawmakers can choose to prefer their personal views and opinions in the matter and on the other hand, the special interest groups can pressure them on their decisions especially if they are the ones who funds the campaign.

For instance, you are a Congressman in a Republican district who’s in his first term. You only won the Republican primaries in a very small margin. I think the most appropriate decision you must make is to vote for the UIGEA legislation which is an anti-gambling policy. Your general population will not care for the decision you make but the small groups of Republicans like the Focus on the Family and Christian Coalition will be delighted with your decision to support the anti gambling law. These groups has an great impact in your community, that in case you fail to support what they are lobbying will withdraw their support in your campaign and that would be goodbye into your political career.

Either way, if you are on a neutral territories, you will still receive pressures from both sides of the legislation that will surely affect your voting decision.

The aim of this discussion is to show that, a lot of lawgivers will be voting based on politics, and not truths and individual opinions, on this issue. Finally this could very well be an issue resolved by which side holds more political tilt. Since the ordinary American is untouched by this law, the lawmaker can side with the particular interest group that is most beneficial for the career; and encounter minimum side effect from the populate they represent.
