What the fuck? I guarantee if this was happening 6 months ago 90% of the people in favor of this bill now would be shitting their pants over this massive spending bill. On that note I think if everyone looked at things objectively instead of through glasses shaded either red or blue we might actually come up with something that will help all Americans instead of this bullshit pass it fast and spend, spend, spend and spend some more as fast as we can. If this is the best we can do then we are in deep shit. Unfortunately both sides are clinging to their pet projects rather than doing what's best for America. The Republicans are clinging to those tax cuts and the Democrats are clinging to expanded government meanwhile the middle class gets pinched.
1- you don't know what socialism is
2- It is not a scare tactic when the economy really is that bad. In terms of jobs lost so far, this recession is already as bad as any recession weve had since the great depression. And if february is anything like january, this will officially become the worst recession since the great depression.
