I know the dollar amounts are different (and the senator is being very hypocritical), but the American people are not. The Dems can't go into November saying, we spent a little less than the last guy.
And the recession was last year. The banks and stock market are fine, housing prices aren't tanking and people are spending money. I understand that unemployment benefits allow people to stay in their homes, cloth their kids, and put food on the table, but I think we could do it better.
