WASHINGTON — Handing the new administration a big win, House Democrats passed President Barack Obama's $787 billion plan to resuscitate the economy on Friday despite a wall of Republican opposition. The bill was approved 246-183 and sent to the Senate, where a vote was scheduled late Friday afternoon.

Rethuglicans are sociopaths. Prove me wrong.

1. I wouldn't have voted for it either.
I don't like their "just cut taxes" plan, but the bill as it stands is a Dem spending spree...with a lot less actual stimulus than it should have.

2. It's getting REALLY ugly in the Senate ...
Orrin Hatch whining like a baby about the bill not being
bi-partisan enough and, once again, complaining that his
"contributions" to the SCHIP bill that were cast aside.

Jon Kyl is calling this bill "generational theft" ...
now that asshat Coburn has 30 MINUTES to spew more
lies. They have degenerated into the worst versions
of themselves, preferring to fiddle while Rome (the US)
burns ...

3. Imagine
if all these republicans were in congress during the past eight years. With all their sincere fiscal conservatism we would not need a stimulus package today.

4. Schumer was as much as saying that not long ago ...
Calling them out on their hypocrisy. Now they're calling
this bill "generational theft" when before they were FINE
with throwing money down the rathole (LITERALLY) in Iraq
and robbing their grandkids to pay for their own tax cuts.

5. Sewage treatment plants in Iraq are not pork
and bipartisanship means you agree with the gop all the time.

6. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite you face.
It's rather obvious that the Republicans will sacrifice everything to screw Obama. I just hope he can screw them in return by making progress in the next few years.
