Nothing is better that 'something that might work???'..and is admittedly a 'spending bill' certainly with no thought of 'now'.

Bipartisan has been redefined as you state your opinions then we will do it my way.

Let's see, we will need a new flag. I know, how about a map of the old U.S. with a large "X" through it on a field of black and the words "Marxism Forever" across the bottom.

We will also need to get rid of The Statue Of Liberty. Wonder if we can send it back from whence it came? France can't afford it? No worries…let's just pass another "stimulus" bill to bail out France, then send that pesky symbol of freedom back to them.

Works for me!!!

These latest comments by the President really shouldn't come as any surprise. He is doing exactly what his past record and professed beliefs (professed long before the campaign and conveniently kept quiet during the campaing of course) suggested he would do. Government spending and government programs created this whole mess. And no the Republicans are not blameless. When the Liberalcrats pushed for housing reform and pushed to force the banks (Fannie and Freddie in particular) to give mortgages to people who had no business borrowing money, the Republicans caved and went along. But even though they went along, they did not create this mess. For the President to attempt to put all the blame on the Republicans is absolutely ludicrous. And to spin their resistance to the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Liberal dream bill as "politics as usual", and "not what the people voted for" is an example of his real definition of "bipartisan". As in "everyone just go along with what I want, 'cause I won". Why were the House Republicans kept completely out of the process? Because the Liberalcrats "won" so they "get to decide".

To continue to push a "stimulus plan" that has absolutely nothing to do with stimulating anything but government control and interference is just mind-boggling. And then to whine when people point out the blatant "pork" spending is typical liberal garbage.

The Congressional Budget Office has even said this bill will do NOTHING to help the economy, but is MORE likely to hurt it even more. But they continue to push, and try and ram it through before any more of the garbage in it can be pointed out to the American people.

Why? It's all about control. People who are on the receiving end of the pork will never vote away their free handouts. They'll get used to the easy money, until the country collapses because there is no more to give.

This situation is not only ridiculous, it is downright scary. How much liberty are people really willing to give away in the hopes that they might get some free government handout? And the scariest part is how many people have absolutely no idea what is really in this bill. All they know is what they see the President say in the liberal media.

If anyone who truly believes in what America is and stands for has not yet contacted their Senators and Congressmen, NOW IS THE TIME! Let them know what you think. Both of my Senators are Dems, no question of how they are going to vote. But I've called and written repeatedly anyway, just to make sure they know what I think. The only way our government will ever again be a "government for the people, by the people" is if WE the people DEMAND it. Not just at election time, but every time they debate an issue, every time they vote on legislation. And then at election time, WE hold them accountable.

We have to borrow that $1Trillion stimulus money or print more dollars. Either way, we are going to end up in more economic misery. This is not Republican or Democrat issue. The politicians have found a way to grab all the power and tyrannize us. Wake up. The US is well on its way to be a full-fledged fascist state.

Writing to the Congressmen or calling their offices to protest is not going to matter as they loudly proclaim that they had won. We need a visible and unforgettable eruption of common and hard-working American citizens. That is the only way the politicians will be willing to give up power. We must not stop until the government teeth are all pulled out and our Constitution is restored. US is a country of free people with a government and is not a government with people.
