because the economy has gone down the toilet and if they didn’t do anything we would sit around and complain about that too.

Because they CAN
I’m serious, even Nancy Pelosi said herself that these ‘projects’ were things the Democrats have been wanting to do for years
No one would let them get away with this bullshit until now, only Obama would go along with it and they knew it…So, they are throwing in everything they have ever been denied…They aren’t even trying to pretend that they don’t have a personal agenda anymore…They’re just throwing it into the faces of the American people because they know there’s nothing we can do to stop them now.

This “stimulus” package was voted on by a Congress that didn’t even have the opportunity to read the 1000+ pages of the thing. Most of them don’t have a clue what all is included in this dung heap of a bill and only voted for it because Nancy and Harry told them to. Throw in some pork for each Senator or Representative and viola, you get a yes vote.
Harry Reid (D-Nevada) somehow managed to get his little train from LA to Las Vegas thrown in for good measure. Isn’t that a surprise.
There are actually a few things in this bill that might possibly stimulate the economy in the short term. The majority of the package, if it has any stimulating effects at all, are YEARS down the road. Perhaps I’m a bit cynical, but I suspect we will be hearing how wonderful this thing is working just about in time for the next round of elections. And yes I know, we are all going to believe it.

For the same reason that the Republicans crooks GAVE away trillions of dollars to incompetent CEO’s with no accountability or oversight, to spend on $10 million dollar Super Bowl parties and million dollar office make-overs and multi-million dollar BONUSES. For the same reason that the thugs also gave NO BID contracts again, with no oversight or accountability to KBR, Blackwater, and Halliburton.
NEITHER party gives a ratsa** about the American people OR how they spend OUR money.
I can’t BELIEVE that ALL of you are not OUTRAGED at this rape, pillage and plunder of OUR country by BOTH parties, or that you PREFER being plundered by one party over the other.
Partisan politics nauseate me.

as one of them (rahm emmanuel) said, it’d be a shame to waste a good crisis.
