As the Congressional Democrats were passing the Stimulus Package, the Republicans seeing the bill for what it really was decided that they could not support it. They were called names, told they failed to exhibit bi-partisanship and condemned for their right-wing conspiracy efforts to block it's passage.
Are you kidding me? Since when is it a right wing conspiracy to wish to prevent wasteful spending? After all, isn't that what all politicians promise us from their podiums before we elect them? They all tell us they are upset with the pork barrel spending, so why is it a conspiracy to do one's job?
Taxpayer's groups wished to stop the stimulus package, but for some reason their voices were ignored; why? Most of the people that were for the free-money and stimulus were not taxpayers. The taxpayers that were for the stimulus were part of groups or industries that would be the recipient of the stimulus package.
In other words the people for it, realized that the amount they'd gain from the stimulus was far greater than their share of the burden. How utterly convenient and how utterly predictable that the politicians were able to so easily exploit this fact - of course, politicians have been promising things in trade for votes to stay in power for as long as governments have been around.
It completely amazes me that Democrats, Media Pundits, and neo-liberal-socialist supporters have the gaul to call Republicans who voted against the bill members of some secret right-wing conspiracy. In reality they were the only ones doing their job when that bill was being voted on. Think on this.
