The rush is that even if the hard money isn't going to be infused into
the economy immediately, knowing that it will be available down the

The bill is a two year bill. the bulk (as I understand it) of the

I want to see a top line number around $300-400 billion, made up of tax cuts
and spending on "shovel ready" projects. Everything else can be done
separately in normal appropriations bills, because the money isn't going to
get into the economy this year anyway. So what's the rush?

And so we go to the heart of the matter with what ails our economy.
Financial services have become a point of HUGE friction, costing capital
that is wildly disproportionate to the value they provide. How do we fix it?

There's 2 issues Scott:
1.) The insane hyperbole of the hyperbole: "It's a pork bonanza!!"
You don't say that when you're only talking about 1.8%.
2.) Is the alleged "pork" pork?

And that is a very select club indeed.
I do wonder about some of the spending though. The bill is big enough
that it is difficult for serious analysis to be done before it gets
passed. I hate that, lord knows that Republicans pul

I'm not selecting facts. According to the analyses I have seen and from
public statements by people like Sen. Inhofe, most of the spending, while
not pork, is also not going to get into the economy in the next year. Part
