Why should anybody believe President Obama says? The man promised, during his campaigns, that he would go line by line through any financial bills to rid them of unnecessary earmarks. In the end, taxpayers get to foot an almost $800 billion stimulus package filled with unnecessary items that will not fix the current economy.
How could any congressman be able to go through that bill in time? Republicans were given 90 minutes to read the entire bill and then vote on it. No one in their right mind would blindly sign off on a stimulus bill that large without reading it. Since the Democrats were able to pull a fast one and scare the public to think that our country will fall into a depression, taxpayers will be paying for wasteful projects that do little to help the economy. Over $400 million was spent on small side projects around the country that do not benefit the overall economy. All one has to do is stick out their hand, and Obama will thrust cash at you. What a joke.
It just gets more and more ridiculous, as the President tries to handle too much at one time. He needs to look towards the long-term health of the United States, and not just the next year. The United States has no defining industry that will take it into the next 20 years. Jobs will continue to be outsourced around the world, and little money is being given to stimulate jobs for the future. It may require the United States to remain in a recession a bit longer, but if policies and funding are properly distributed to help the nation in the future, then our country will be on the right path to recovery.
