NEW YORK (CNN) -- What a joke. Your Congress has voted to spend almost $790 billion of your money on a stimulus package that not a single member of either chamber has read.
The 1,073-page document wasn't posted on the government's Web site until after 10 p.m. the day before the vote to pass it was taken. I don't care if you're Evelyn Wood, you can't read almost 1,100 pages of the lawyer talk that makes up all legislation in eight or 10 hours.
The criminal part of this boondoggle is divided into two parts. The first is the Democrats promised to post the bill a full 48 hours before the vote was taken to allow members of the public to see what they were getting for their money. Both parties voted unanimously to do this ... and they lied.
It didn't happen. Why am I not surprised? Congress lying to the American people has become part of their job description. They can't be trusted on anything anymore.
{Last Line}
Obama better step up his game, or it's going to be a short four years in office.

About time. Who would ever think that could happen and not be reported, ridiculous. The press should lose their heads.

THE STIMULUS BILL
In the beginning was the Stimulus Bill.
And then came the assumptions.
And the assumptions were without form and the Stimulus Bill was without substance
And darkness was upon the face of the Taxpayers and they spoke among themselves saying, “The Stimulus Bill is a crock of s**t and it stinketh.”
And the Taxpayers went to their Congresscritters and sayeth, “It is pail of dung and none can abide the odor.”
And the Congresscritters went unto their Talking Heads and sayeth unto them, “It is a container of excrement with an odor that few can tolerate.”
And the Talking Heads went unto the Television Viewers and sayeth, “it is a vessel of fertilizer and its strength offends many.”
And the Television Viewers spoke among themselves saying, “It contains that which aids Economic growth and it is indeed strong.”
And the Democrats went unto the President and sayeth unto him, “It is a powerful promoter of growth.”
And the President went unto the Sycophantic Mainstream Media and sayeth, “This Stimulus Bill will greatly stimulate the growth and efficiency of this country.”
And the Sycophantic Mainstream Media looked upon the Stimulus
OOPS!:
And the Sycophantic Mainstream Media looked upon the Stimulus Bill saying, “This is a good Stimulus Bill.”
And the Stimulus Bill became policy. And this is how s**t happens.
Cafferty, you and your ilk put him in office. Suck it up, traitor.
(”Brothers you asked for it” ping.)
Yea, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.
Of course he ends his rant complaining that this stimulus may not be enough.
Go Jack.
On the contrary. It's going to be a very l-o-o-o-n-g four years in office.
Short for 0bama, painfully long for us.
I can’t watch Cafferty. He is the most bitter, hateful commentator on TV.
Ping. This is sort of what I FReepmailed you about last week. Cafferty must not be giving up on this.
Both parties voted unanimously to post the bill for a full 48 hours before voting on it.
And the Republicans had total control over when the bill was sent to the floor for a vote, right?
What!?!? You mean the Dims control both houses of Congress and therefore control the timing of votes?
Hmmmmm. I’m really confused. I thought they both lied. /sarc
And what have they done with Jack Cafferty?
Not that I'd miss him, but was he abducted by aliens or something?
Greatness!
“It’s going to be a very l-o-o-o-n-g four years in office.”
It’s already been a long four weeks.
Jack’s doing his best to copy Dennis Miller’s routine.
The DOW may well hit 5000 within a month. No good news from a long term economic outlook respect to encourage buying stocks.
Gold is up, fer sure.
CNN has a new feature—Mail to the Chief—where you, viewer, can ask Boy Wonder anything by sending your questions to CNN. I guess they will just answer for him and then send the viewer an autographed photo.
Wow when Cafferty says this about a liberal democrat bill, you know it totally sucks.
