The 825 Billion Stimulus Passes

If you are interested in who voted for or against it, that is here;

If you have a few weeks to kill you can read the 647 text of the bill here;

I will try to get to some of the highlights on this over the weekend. I am sure it's a fantastic piece of legislation. Considering none of the Pubs voted for it, we could have dropped some of those tax beaks to help pay for it, yes??

It's a great showing of fucking partisanship, great way to start the new Congress, as divided as ever...just because. The US is no fucking better politically than Zimbabwe. Just a bunch of old men who oppose anything the other side wants...just because.
