Again, thank you for writing to me about this very important matter. Even though you may feel frustrated with the outcome of the legislation that passed, your voice absolutely resulted in the enactment of a better bill. Feel free to contact me again about any issue of importance to you.
This last paragraph is total BS. The final bill is worse than the original because it is loaded with pork.
It’s somewhat surprising that the Democrats so whole-heartedly supported a bill that is based totally on ‘trickle-down’ economics. If Boxer thinks any of this $700 billion is going to trickle down to teachers and firefighters she’s nuts. What’s going to happen is that the $700 billion is going to end up in the pockets of a few rich executives and it’s going to stay there.
If the Democrats really want to show that they are for the working man, they should have re-written the bill so that the $700 billion went directly to the middle class or the poor. Giving it to rich fucks who have raped the system is just unconscionable.
It’s also scary that this is a ‘rolling’ $700 billion. As I understand, the government can buy $700 billion in feces, sell it, and then buy another $700 billion worth of feces. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
