Of course, the Republicans were right on top of it when their leader, spokesman, MIC stated that the countries economic fundamentals were sound. So, 20-0 shouldn't surprise us then. Look up at the scoreboard, look who's winning now! They-could-go-all-the-wa-wa-wayyyyyyy.
Hijadeoshun, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. I think some people are furious at the economic state of the world. Your sentence regarding wall street bonuses being more then SOME people, should've read more then MOST. According to the New York Times, the average bonus in 2008 was down 40% to $112,000, with executive bonuses just over $250,000. Frightening how an industry can fail miserablly and still get, in my opinion, huge bonuses.
Anyway, my official unofficial survey of friends, family and co-workers on the pork laden stimulus package has come up 20+ against, 0(ZERO) for. Even people in liberal places like California and Philadelphia don't want this thing to pass. Why do our elected officials just vote without regard to the citizens that elected them? Anyone here want this thing to pass?
