    The draft was finished last night at midnight, and they passed the stimulus bill this afternoon. There's no possible way anybody could possibly have read that document by now. How can they possibly be sure of what's in it?

    Our politicians are fighting it out over a similar bill, I believe. As I keep saying, same crap, different shovel.

          AFAIK, I started the first thread about this monstrosity wherein I pointed out how little would be allocated to stimulus and how much would be spent on welfare. I could be wrong about being first, but I know I have been loudly opposed since not long after the first version became public. My rep like the suckup Dem he is voted Yea. I have no reason to believe he can read, he just does what the leadership tells him. My Senators (Graham & Demint) will vote no.

            Good luck. Believe me, when it comes to incompetance among "world leaders" we Brits set the bar pretty high. Brown would be funny if he didn't truly believe the bullshit he spouts..it's truly sickening. :sigh:

              The site you referenced is hilarious, looking at the other articles. I don't agree with everything but it is funny.

                It is at that. Rather like the Daily Mash[^], but more offensive. :rolleyes:

                        The first 675 pages are completely struck out text. Somehow that does not give me any confidence that our legislators have any clue what they are doing, or any real plan. It seem sto go: Blah, blah, spend money, spend more money...p675 uh, strike that, spend even more money, spend yet more money...p1434.

As you can see, Arab leaders have cornered the market. Bunch of greedy fucks the whole lot of them.

                                    How dare you leave Indian politicians out of that list? :mad: (j/k of course, I'm not pissed at you)

                                      Well, to be fair to me, I haven't had experience with Indian politicians. To be fair to all politicians, they are all bastard, greedy, selfish fucks to one degree or another.

                                        Our politicians are fighting it out over a similar bill, I believe. As I keep saying, same crap, different shovel.

                                        I didn't know Australia was that badly hit by the global recession. Actually, from what I hear from my friend in Perth, its only starting to feel the nip of recession.
