Great, more big government spending...
Snowe and the other Democrats are actually socialists, and the Republicans are fake capitalists. This is more of the same: unconstitutional redistribution of private property (income, assets) via taxation. Money is taken from me and you to give it to other people for their heating bills, housing, retirement, medical care, food, and probably for beer, cigarettes, and illegal drugs too. Where in the Constitution is this theft of property permitted?
