I think not. The political games havent missed a step in Washington and both sides are playing. Not a single House Republican voted for the spending bill that is being masquaraded as a stimulous package. They also managed to pick up 11 House Democrats. The bill still passed, but it seems that Senate Republicans have the same issues with being completely shut out of the writing process.

As a result of this many members of both houses and both sides of the aisle have run to the press and started throwing around accusations.

Based on all the pork that is in these bills I hope that it doesnt get a single republican vote. The best estimates I have seen put more than 500B of this bill is simply spending and not much of it will stimulate anything. If you are to believe republicans, only 12% of the bill is only stimulous.


On the other side of the aisle, republicans have proposed a bill and had the numbers verified by the same entities that verified the democrat bill. The republican bill is about half the size and according their numbers, will create double the jobs.


Any other thoughts?

I will add that I am completely against any type of govt stimulous bill, in any form.
