Mike: Would you expect anything less from corrupt politicians?
This probably is one of the many reasons why they did not give sufficient time to read the dam thing. Great pick up, but it's a done deal. They can accept as many perks as they please. How about a nice heavy package with a ticking clock? Greed maybe their undoing!
I've skimmed the whole thing twice now
It's a mess. This is just a free-for-all of New Party pet projects. It's a natioanl healthcare plan for sure.
College is free now.
Food stamps are easier to get.
If you served in the Organized Army of the Commonwealth of The Phillipines between 1941 and 1946, you're getting $15,000.
And if you don't get a Social Secuirty payment that's due to you for 3 months, you can get a $250 check.
That's just a few highlights. It's almost funny, but it's real.
There are notes in the darn margins!

Redistribution of wealth..Bankrupt the "haves" and give it to

Do we still have to pay taxes? I think I know the answer to that!
Actually, I have yet to see a tax cut or increase.
Is fleecing when you shave the sheep? what's it called if you shave them during a blizzard?

Speaking of sheep: The sheeple will soon find out what....
sodomy is! This is a lot worse than fleecing in winter. This is getting screwed royally! At least we knew that this was coming. Those asleep will be awakened as they are being raped.
What does this refer to?
Panel for what??
Recovery Independent Advisory Panel
Just more and more government, of course.
Why don't they just call it Recovery Advisory Panel Effort (RAPE)
