According to Cnn.com , A 787-billion dollar economic stimulus bill is headed to President Barack Obama's desk. The plan won approval by both houses of congress Friday. Only three republicans supported the bill. Weighing in at some 11,000 pages and $787 billion dollars, the president's stimulus package is a done deal, but there are debates over whether it will work are not.
Mike Pence, R-Indiana: "This is not a good day for America."
The bill includes 500 billion dollars to create jobs from construction to renewable energy and 287 billion in tax cuts. Not a single republican voted for it in the house.
Only three republicans voted for it in the senate, despite the outrage of their colleagues. Mike Simpson, R-ID: "This process stinks."
Sen. Susan Collins, R-ME: "I think it is very dangerous for the republican party to just say no. That is not a good position for the party to take at a time when people are losing their jobs, the economy is in crisis and the future is so uncertain."
Now my two cents! this isn't going to happen over night! well i thnk if we would have thought about this war that isn't even a war, we would be having these problems! And the Republicans are acting as if Obama isn't working with them! When dealing with rich people with power its always a catch 22, because every time we think were working together we either get knifed for ideas or get slammed for what they wish they could have done. Yes it's true Regan said that Government isn't the answer but it is the problem and i think we have taken that sentence out of context a Lil! If the government was a straight and narrow as they think they are we would have to worry about if they paid taxes or Blagoivich i know i spelled it wrong1 But it don't matter. Stop talking about what ain't happening you millionaires and start asking what can we do to help! TO Be Continued
