Look, I realize that $800 billion-plus is a lot of money. I do. I think it's insane we have to spend that much money to fix the fuck ups of a few thousand people who don't have enough self-control and self-discipline to keep greed from robbing themselves of all logic and go on a nice profiteering mission on the rest of the country. But here's the funny thing about that: we HAVE to. There aren't other options. So just fucking pass the damn thing. It's not too expensive. Nothing is too expensive to fix the country. What is too expensive is the $3 trillion (more zeros than billion) we'll end up flushing down the toilet after this Iraq War thing raps up. No one, NO ONE, seemed to have a problem when that little ditty was sucking money out of the government. No one said, "Hey. Wait a second. This is too expensive. What are we thinking?" Not even these "spend-thrift" GOP fucktards refusing to pass the bailout now. Don't get me wrong they're all fucktards, but these GOP douchebags are taking it a whole other level of fucktard-ness by rejecting an extra $25 billion on infrastructure spending. Dipshits, infrastructure spending does the following: employs people (who will then actually spend their earnings rather than hoarding them), improves energy efficiency, reduces greenhouse gases, keeps everyone safe from bridges tumbling into rivers and subway cars going off the rails and killing hundreds, makes buses smell less, gets large, angry construction workers out of bars. These are all good things.
But, oh yes, I forgot, Republicans are watching out for my interests by making sure we don't spend too much money NOW, even though they had no problem bankrupting us before (see Iraq War, Bush tax cuts, pillaging of common decency and individual rights, across-the-board deregulation). This steaming pile of shit the GOP is trying to sell off as due diligence makes me want to beat up a toddler. It's partisan rhetoric at time when the last thing we need is some douche with too much air time telling me another $25 billion is really going to make a fucking difference.
Don't worry, I blame Democrats too. I recall seeing most of the Iraq spending bills and the decision to go to war with Iraq being voted with an overwhelming majority of both the House and Senate. So they are to blame as well for pouring salt into the wounds and then stomping it in. Seems like they're slightly more on task this time around. Thanks, douches.
Seriously, stop dicking around and pass this thing. It's either bankrupt us from spending too much or bankrupt us from spending too little. Either way, we're spending and either way, we're bankrupt, might has well have fun while we're at it.
