President-Elect Barack Obama is hoping Congress will take quick action on his proposed stimulus plan.

The plan could cost taxpayers upwards of 775 billion dollars.

One former presidential candidate says it's what got Americans into this mess in the first place.

"Well, I think it's just more of the same. It's more spending and more debt. I don't think it will solve the problem. It's turning the spending responsibilities over to government rather than individuals, and that's not the way you make an economy work", said Ron Paul.

On Tuesday, Obama warned of the likelihood of "trillion-dollar deficits for years to come." He's set to give a major speech on the economy Thursday.

Could someone please tell me if I have this wrong? The government goes to the privately owned Federal Reserve, they print the 700 billion out of thin air, the fed takes it's cut of the money, loans it to the government, government spends it and makes everyone think it has to pay taxes to pay it back. Who or what exactly is getting paid back? It was printed out of thin air which just devalued the existing money, which in reality is a tax. We are in this mess because the majority of Americans are utterly ignorant. The other 5% supported Ron Paul.
