Surprised it's not 150%! They missed the boat - could have bled the country more to get a feeble kickback somewhere from a lobby that receives more credits. If only we could form a revolution. The basis would be on violations of the Constitution. All elected members of the Legislative and Executive branch would be reviewed and if necessary, brought to charges of violating the Constitution. The enforcement would be handled by the Marine Corp - who are sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Based on the degree of violation, those top offenders would be declared enemies of the state and removed from office and or jailed immediately. Don't care what party. We'd definitely have a mass of emergency elections. And if it happened once, the hope is it would deter the next in line to commit the same crime. Annual action to keep the house clean. Just dreaming...... Since when do they think twice about "spending" more than they have? Surprised it's not 150%!

They promised generous handouts for various industries and special interests but, in typical Washington fashion, they promised more money than they have.

I'm so tired of the Dem's pulling our countries stings. And I've read allot of blogs lately and it seems they all sound like Obama. No real points are made! It's one of two things either entiltlement or attack somebody, if I hear Bush did that or Bush did this one more time. Who cares!!!!!! I'm worried about the constitution that I fought for, being destroyed, and freedoms disappearing before my eyes. I will not trade my freedom for welfare, or free medical care. Can't you people see that the more poor people there are in this country the more power dem's will have. They don't think the population is smart enough to take care of itself, no one at the bottom will be better off. The Dem's are just going to make the middle class more lower class so we are all dependent on them. They could care less about the environment. Snap out of it kool-aid drinking Obama Drones. And if your gonna blog tell me whats great about the plan's he's laying out, give me one fact to support well, anything. Don't just bash Bush, or say Obama cares about you, or I hope or we need change, or I believe. Believe in yourself's, your much better off without out the government being your Mommy. If we read this bill on cap and trade and then each take a ballot and vote on it. It will lose 100/100 times. This is crazy, (no way) should this even be talked about.
