Stimulate this!

Ya know I am pretty sick of this shit, our government what the hell? How can these guys come up with data that 180 out from the others and claim that only they have the truth of it. When I first got a copy the economic stimulus package via THOMAS, I went through the bill and I thought this was pretty much a Democratic bill with spending directed places where I am sure for the last 8 years there was little money spent.

Yes, it was stimulus, but I could see that it was directed at turning things around, politically. So was there any real surprise that the Repubs would have a major hissy fit, so the endgame on the stimulus was a change of the political landscape, oh and the help the country in a deep fiscal crisis. To the Democrats was this as a win-win, but they didn't think about the country's reaction to the TARP and continued Wall Street stupidity and the polls would seem to suggest the country is not high on the stimulus.

I don't have a problem with the spending, I don't like the tax changes, don't want them, give them to families who make under $100,000 a year, and singles who make under $60,000, let's not forget to cut the payroll taxes for the people who don't even pay income taxes. How about a lot more infrastructure, a lot of the spending is nice, but can be done later, ie Hybrid cars for the government. Also some to put a bottom in the housing market, an interest drop to 4% on all refinanced and new mortgages. Oh and while we are at it, do you think we can get a claw-back on those pay raises for Congress

Bottom line it's business as usual in DC, Repubs vs Dems, and we have to sit and watch, where is the change I voted for in November?
