| I know everytime I face a serious problem I write a 450 page book to solve it. These people disgust me. |

The word now is that on top of the other problems, the Senate version has some tax cuts that the "blue dog" Democrats , who voted for the House version, may not want to support. | |

| It started with 3 pages, ballooned to 120 or so and now we are at 450. Wait until the House gets done with it. I asked my Rep for a new car and I think he's trying to work it in.
What an F'ng disaster.

What an F'ng disaster. | No sh*t.
They had to "sweeten" the deal is the headline I have seen to get it to pass in the House. If these things they have added are so "sweet" then why are they just now being done, is what I would ask. If they are so "sweet" why are they not things that were passed long ago. Why does it take getting on the back of some emergency crisis bill to get these "sweet" things done. Goodness Obama has to love this. This country is being turned in his direction before he ever steps into office. | |

| where do we get the money?
where do we get the money for this? will the gov't not have to borrow some and print the rest? will this not cause the value of the dollar to drop? will that not in turn cause inflation? will the feds not have to raise interest rates to fight inflation? what then happens to the people barely hanging on in the current mortgages? will we not just repeat this whole cycle? i am no economist by any means, just my own thoughts on the future. this is nothing more than politicians trying to vote on something before elections! disgusting! | |
