Why am I still here?
I'll start off first by saying I have not followed this too closely, but off what I do know I am a little peeved. Here is why:

1) The republicans refusal to play ball, instead just repetitively pitching the same 'tax breaks!!one!" idea.
2) The idea that $300 billion of the package is going to us, the people. *censored* that. That just means their kids will have to pay for it. That is just a waste. Focus the money on creating jobs.
3) The damn pork. What does a $75 million stop smoking rehabilitation have to do with this? Why is the government even allowed to do that kind of thing in the first place (I hate cigarettes, but it isn't the governments job to get people to quit).
4) The democrats. For, even though they are getting no cooperation from the republicans are still trying to keep it bi-partisan. *censored* it. If they won't cooperate just take out all they stuff they want. If they come to the table, go bipartisan. Until then, you have the votes to pass whatever the *censored* you want, just don't try to add in little goodies for your states/districts. that is bullshit.
5) The fact that I am not an economist. I really wish I was so then I would have a better grasp of the whole situation besides what I get told from the media, aka "this shit is bad".
