Congrads...I think...

"In a major victory for President Barack Obama, Democrats muscled a huge, $787 billion stimulus bill to the brink of final passage Friday night in hopes of combating the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous."

Good job Obama, I almost fully support this plan...except for 1 thing...

"In a bow to political reality, lawmakers included $70 billion to shelter upper middle-class and wealthier taxpayers from an income tax increase that would otherwise hit them, a provision that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said would do relatively little to create jobs."

Obama, I think your rich friends will be fine, they don't need 70 billion. And republicans, how is this acceptable and yet you were nit picking on things such as funding for states and money to modernize health records? Both parties are guilty of dirty politics with this kind of provision...
