    disenchanted? so soon?

    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.

          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.

                          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.

                              The Prime Tosser claimed that he had called for a stronger regulatory framework in the wake of the Asian money markets collapse in 1999.

                              The Asian markets collapse was in 1997. :rolleyes:

                                      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?

                                      Because it's chock-full of the goodies the Democrats have been wanting for a decade or more. After all: "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
