There are over 300 pages in this bill and line for line, a bunch of items have been snuck in that benefit a politician or two’s special interest groups.
Also, President Obama has stated (more than once) that this bill would not immediately stimulate the economy. If that is the case, why is it such an emergency to get it passed? Why not sit down--and DO YOUR JOB, acting as the leaders of this nation, and figure out what will REALLY stimulate this economy rather than fast tracking spending. Forget your pet projects and special interest groups and figure out SOMETHING (and include regulations in there, too).
I’ve also heard many a “Obama Supporter” state that “we don’t need the Republicans, they’ll be extinct.” My answer to that is: the day that we as Americans accept that ONE party is correct is the day that we lose our title "most powerful nation in the FREE world." Because we will no longer be free. That is why there has always and should always be multiple parties in this nation. So that one group can't decide what is best for ALL OF US with absolutely no opposition.
That's called dictatorship (communism, socialism, fill in the blank). So, the kool aid drinkers need to drop the "we don't need Republicans"...we will always need someone to oppose the radical democrats, just as we will always need someone to oppose the radical republicans. Checks and balances.
If everyone just sits back and says "well I vote that way because it's 'closest' to how I believe" we'll always be stuck with the crooks that are currently running this country.
It's time now--to take a stand and get honest, hard working "Joes" in Senate seats and in the House. It's time NOW to start getting the likes of Pelosi and Reid out. It won’t happen overnight, and will have to start at a local level, but if we all join together, we can reform this nation the way it needs to be done.
And back to the original topic: Seriously, how are some of people honestly NOT bothered by this stimulus plan. It is anything BUT a stimulus. If you have children, look at them. THEY (and their children) will be the ones paying for our mistakes if this bill goes through. Can you honestly look at them and put that burden on them?

p.t. barnum was right - "there's a sucker born every minute." look at all the suckers out there!
i seriously want to move back to our cabin and get back to a simpler way of life before all hell breaks loose.
yeah-I hear you, Nanc!! Lake house in the woods, here I come.
they're going to vote on the bill next week - pobama wants to get 'er dun so he can have a holiday named after him...j/k
it apparently does not matter what the American people say. I saw the quote somewhere...Stalin said (I'm paraphrasing, as I do not wish to hunt down the actual)...the VOTERS do not get the say, the ELECTEES do.
They Senate/House does not care what its constituents want. They find the people that want the O to "save them" from themselves (ahh...not having to work, entitled to luxuries such as vehicles, prime healthcare, etc.). They don't ask average Bob (I opted to steer clear of Joe because of Joe the Plumber) what he thinks of this stimulus plan.
And "all those economists" that agree with the bill? Yeah. Can't find 'em. But can surely find HUNDREDS of economists that DISAGREE.
Who cares about the Constitution. It's a silly ol' piece of paper. Constituents? Eh-people that don't know what is best for them.
