The presidents stimulus package passed with 3 Republican defectors. I thought that we were a nation of all view points being allowed to help rule.
With 2 MISSING Senators that could be REPUBLICAN very easily the bill would not have passed.
More representation from Those people those Senators represent is missing.
The president rushed this vote in order to get it passed before the general public can learn fully about it and all SENATORS being able to vote for it or against it.
His press conference was a political campaign speech. DARN ol BUSH..it will take years to fix...
We have a rush to pass something without FULL NATIONAL REPRESENTATION... Something I believe is un Constitutional and illegal.
Every state MUST be represented with legally elected Officials in order to have any bill passed or laws created.
I wonder why others haven't picked up on this yet, Progressive?
No .
Liberals..getting their way.
If the tables were turned there would be riots in the streets.

61 senators, Bill. How do the two absent senators make a difference?

Because 37+2 equals 40 for sufficiently large values of 2.

smucks..
2 more senators against would have provided more leverage against those who supported this garbage.
NEXT SHUMER (D) NEW YORK and I dint give a rats tail if I spelled his name right last night said.. "Americans don't mind PORK"
Where is all your indignation you lying liberals. You wanted to FIRE the Senator From Alaska for getting PORK. You don't care if every Democrat on OBAMAS TEAM doesn't pay taxes or is a crook. You don't care if HIS POLICIES drive the country bankrupt FASTER.
What SHUM really meant is LIBERALS don't mind PORK if they can choose when and where and who benefits.
Any real progressive or constitutional historian would be shocked to see what's happening now..
I know most economist are...
Most investors are.
EVERY BODY except the poor welfare state wannnaa bees.

1) Name the "crooks" 2) Define "pork", because you obviously have a broad definition. It's a STIMULUS bill, Bill. By definition, that means pork. 3) It is flatly untrue that most economists are shocked.

Crooks = Current Democrats..because they lie and steal. Republicans ..see above. PORK when Republicans did it was bad Meat. Democrats COOK BETTER PORK ! True progressives challenge all bad things regardless of power. Liberals only go after Conservatives. The only economist not shocked are the global warming scientist. Or the ones that teach Democrats how to file tax returns.. If the Republicans had used this method to get their stuff ..the press ..the professors and all liberals would be in the streets. now you sit back and watch all the nations wealth vanish and say..."it's for our children" OBAMAS TOO COOL TO SCREW UP... whatever..Baa. NO .. Booo.

"So called elitist society know it alls"? Who calls them that besides you, because it sure as hell doesn't make much sense. I'm guessing you mean "smart people"?
By all means, let's have the stupid people solve this mess.
Damned elitists, using their brains and all.

Well, there are many who think it should be left up to a typical hockey mom.
Go to a youth hockey game and chat with the moms. Do you REALLY want them leading the country?

No matter how you view the stimulus bills from both the Obama and Bush administrations, the taxpayers will probably be paying for this excessive government spending through higher taxes for a long time. I will probably be paying for this stimulus package and the resulting interest on government bonds for decades. My children will be paying for it and probably my grandchildren will still be paying for it. Let's hope the experiment works.

I have no idea who knows what he/she is doing in this mess, but we could make the argument that our children pay if we don't act, too.
What we don't need is to re-inflate the bubble. I hope everyone is thinking in terms longer than the usual Wall Street limits.

OTOH, without the stimuli that have been sent out, who knows what your grandchildren would be doing. For example, a collapse of the US economy also has big repurcussions on future generations.

P-dub has it right. I am not at all concerned about the possibility that we will be paying the financial cost for the next thirty years.
We will have systemic collapse far before then. Some rough beast, its hour come round at last, will storm towards D.C. to be (s)elected, and then monetary policy will be the least of our concerns.
But don't worry, my fellow Americans, they tell me even if it causes many changes, that suicide is painless.
