well the proposed bill may not be the greatest bill in every way. it has some good things. plus no one else has tried to do anything else. so if this doesnt work, well its more than the republicans have done. I mean the two sides bitch and moan at each other but only one side comes up with a plan. During these times wouldnt both sides want to come up with a plan and quit fighting with each other. fucken pathetic.

what about obama's promise to post bills on teh interwebz 5 days in advance before he signs?

"When there's a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what's in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government is doing."

I dunno. we should call him

[Parker]

or how about this one?

"Make government open and transparent."

[Parker]

or this one?

"Make it “impossible” for Congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects."

[Parker]

or maybe this one?

"No more secrecy."

bullshit...

ok im done multi-posting... for now....

[Trafik Jamz]

I agree about the 48 hours (not 5 days parker...I believe it was supposed to be 48 hours)...it was debated for a month before it passed, but I agree with you. This did disappoint me as well.

Pork..you'll never ever get rid of it. One mans pork is another mans stimulus (at least in his mind)

Secrecy? The bill is available for viewing. What portion do you feel was secret.

And again Parker (and everyone else on here that these things apply to) no one is forcing anyone to cash stimulus checks, subsidy checks, etc.... You each chose to do it, you could have simply not cashed them. You could have taken one for the team. You could have bucked the system....but none of you did. Everyone is against a gov't handout until it is going to them.

Parker, you know chuck wont beleive it even if its plainly in sight like that

BTW, i didnt get/cash a stimulus check last year, so there

[weshole]

I did. Cuz Im cool like dat.

[Trafik Jamz]

You are right Parker. The info I had seen prior to that said 48 hours, but I stand corrected.

At any rate it sat on <u>his</u> desk 5 days before he signed it (congress passed it on Friday and he signed it today Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues...yup 5 days)....and he got slammed by people like torbs for saying it was there too long. The bill was posted online the night it passed the house & senate (admittedly not by the whitehouse, but it was technically online all over the place).

Meetings were public...I believe, I didn't watch Cspan to find out...I may be wrong.

Im sick of hearing about the shitty economy and politics. Can we talk about something fun? At this point, i'd rather read 40 pages of arguments about how grapefruit and oranges are different.

Nothing to argue. the difference is that oranges are good while grapefruit tastes like horse vomit.
