As a good friend of mine pointed out, Obama should've gone all dictator on Congress and had his staff write the ENTIRE bill. Any dissenters would have to face Hilary, Bill, Geithner and Biden; the latter of whom I imagine as being the baby-head-eating type when he gets angry. Sort of like an extremely sadistic, older Incredible Hulk....with less green. So maybe not so much.
The point is, Obama, walking the talk of working together with other parts of the government, put faith in his Democratic compatriots to fix this, and all they did was exchange useful programs and plans with pork-laden crap.
At a time when we have no competent social safety net and people are generally making less or the same as they were over the past decade, a of people would've probably benefited from those useful programs. People like me.
That's okay, though. Unlike most Americans, I actually saved some money. Here's to hoping I can survive on that for a little while. My unemployment check is pretty weak.
