I'm losing patience with "moderate" Democrats in Congress. And I'm sick to death of the nitpicking criticism of the stimulus bill.
I understand GOPers losing their minds over spending on contraception and sexual health, but what's up with Democrats who would support such measures but not in this bill.
Econ 101: Any government spending is stimulative.
Words of Wisdom from Wetmachine:
We are not helpless. We will not wait for Obama or Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or anyone else to save the stimulus bill from the conservative noise machine and the business as usual culture. We will fight back, and show them that America wants real change. Click here to get the phone number for your Senators and Representative. Call and tell them: "Stop the failed policies of the last eight years! Government spending creates jobs, tax cuts don't! Pass the stimulus bill without any more presents to big business. No more tax cuts or other tax 'incentives'."
Time for us to decide if we will be the Generation of the Desert or if we will be the Generation of Joshua. Will we die in the wilderness, or dare to cross the Jordan into the Promised Land?
