You know I really hate to start drinking this early, but I’m afraid if I don’t, my head will explode.

Needs to be said again: this is not a stimulus bill but a welfare/pork bill. If the Dems want pork/welfare they can file separate bills but the shouldn't insult us with using the word "stimulus" when there is no stimulating.

CNBC does a barebones job of breaking down the bills and comparing but leaves out the variety of pork that is in the details.

Nice. ACORN gets nearly as much as "Homeland Security".

This was the whole reason why the Devilcrats wanted at least one GOPer in the bill, to project this headline on CNBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, etc... to the dumb public who can't discern this BS.

When this fails miserably 2010 will be "Both Democrats and Republicans voted for it, gluck..."

Ahh. Don't take it so hard so early Girl.

As Lott said, "It can all be washed out in conference."

The final bill coming out of the conference committee is bound to be MUCH worse than this. This is just to get the bills passed.

Once its in conference, the lights an camera's are off and the American people get back to the actual work that pays for this crapola, they'll add all kindsa horrible stuff to the bill.

So save your swearwords for then ;)

Yes, I know. The banner everywhere last night was Democrats and Republicans reach compromise! Foxnews uncluded! That is the story was reported on the evening and nightly news, national and local, and on the 24 hr. news channels!

B******T!!

Actually, I am taking it hard and I am seriously considering burying my head in the sand from now on! This is unreal! I’m just going to live in ignorant bliss other than showing up on election day! There is nothing we can do to stop this insanity so what is the freakin’ point!

This must be how conservatives felt when the 17th Amendment was passed. Why states went along with that horrible amendment that rendered them powerless is beyond me! And the income tax?!? What the hell?!? The people who had a clue and were paying attention had to know were those 2 amendments were going to take us!

Okay, rant over.

Yes it is going to get MUCH worse.

Face it. The low-grade morons have take our hard-earned tax dollars and spent it very wisely: figuring out the best ways to deceive us at every turn.

If one thing doesn't work, something else will. If it doesn't then they can just ignore us because they know the morons will reelect them regardless of what they do.

Good Lord help us!

That's why my tagline Girl.

"We the People" don't count anymore. We the Congress and President are what count.

And we've sent them trillions to do it with.

Same here. I find myself giving up and just living my life, blissfully ignorant until they show up at my or my grandchildrens door one day.

Congress + President=Liars + Cheats + Thieves.

Nice summary. I have been talking about this with everyone I know. I find a pattern emerging. People who consider themselves “independents”—not conservative—say they can support this bill as long as they see lots of benefit— ie pork—coming back to their neighborhood. “Hey—just so we get ours.” It has nothing to do with the Obama rhetoric about helping those who are in need. It’s about getting mine before someone else gets it. I am very discouraged.....

They are borrowing the money on the bond market. Like someone with rising credit card debt who cannot pay but keeps spending, this cannot keep going this way. At some point this whole house of cards is going to come down.

It was going to do so eventually with unfunded Social Security and Medicare, which bill they keep kicking down the road rather than fix. They are accelerating spending and the collapse of the bubble they are creating.

When that bubble pops there will not be any money for any of this stuff, because we cannot borrow it. We will not be able to tax enough to pay for it because of unemployment. Moreover, the money itself will be inflated because we keep printing it with nothing to back it.
