A good visit to the US, dealing with tough questions. It's a tough situation. I wish them luck...

I wish I heard the word "compromise" this much in the US Congress.

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.

Bailout Who??

This says the US bank loans could be doing more harm than good! They are just using the money we gave them to pay off loans to the US Fed (where it came from) thus wiping out their loans to the US Government! This is insane, they are supposed to be lending this money to businesses to improve the economy. We seem to be very fucking doomed.

Attack Everyone

Well, Rumsfeld left a legacy after he was pushed out and GWB signed off on the whole thing.

Ah, lets do whatever we want anywhere we want any time. What a role model we are here in the US. Really proud I am.
