Who Needs the Stimulus?

Gallup poll shows majority of Americans have severe doubts about economic stimulus plan's current format

and the doubts are growing.

Why is it that congress drafted an economic recovery plan and then packed it with such pork? The democrats want to pass it and the republicans want to change it. Seems that the majority of Americans agree with the republicans on this one.

Asunto: Re:

Artful Dodger: yeah, its true, and i think Obama has finally figured this out as well.... I guess he had a meeting with some congress members and pretty much told them to get the pork out and to look closer at some of the Republicans ideas, like some of the tax cuts plans, and to get this bill in shape to pass ASAP!

This whole economy issue is bigger than politics, and politics must stay out of it!

I think the original version had only something like 20% that actually went to infrastructure! This is supposed to be mostly about pumping money into our infrastructure, wasnt it???

Asunto: Re:

Czuch: Obama needs to realize (and likely he does) that the stimulus package will, at least in part, define the early days of his presidency. He needs to get this one right.

I don't know why he doesn't just look at the proposed package, and then start naming names of all those in congress that piled on the pork. Expose them and make it clear that they are using the stimulus package as an excuse for pork. But he won't cuz he ain't got the backbone to do that sort of thing. But wouldn't it be great if the sitting democratic president took on the fat cats and let them have it publically?
