#1 OMG. I hope the trunks find the balls to vote against this monstrosity. But I fear the worst. Is it just me, or does there seem to be a manufactured quality to this whole crisis? It's so convenient and ripe for a democrat Congress.

#2 They did the same thing when Clinton took office with a Donk Congress, spending, spending, spending like there was no tomorrow. This is just the 2009 Raid the Treasury for our Contributors Act in motion. The scorpion's behavior never changes.

#3 It's not just the Dems who want to spend, spend, spend. It's pretty much all politicians. And, to look at the national credit card debt, I'd say it's pretty much all of us. Let our kids pay the bills. Or, since so many don't even want the 'burden' of children, let those other people's kids pay the bills. Party on, dudes!

#4 To paraphrase the late Senator Dirksen of Il [circa 60's]- "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money".

It's pretty much all politicians. And, to look at the national credit card debt, I'd say it's pretty much all of us.

Don't confuse simple larceny with brazen grand felony theft. :)

#8 Hopefully people will wake up enough to implement Besoeker's solution on Congress in 2010.

#9 all Rep and 12 Donks voted against the bill. Apparently a spine transplant was found. Good for them. They can't derail it in the House, but now it goes to the senate, and some Donks have gotta be seating voting for this shit sammich with no Republican cover
