This bill is a bill filled of pork that is being passed by democrats who aren't supporting the bill, instead the President. These Democrats think that the "savior" can do nothing wrong, and if he made the bill, then it is a good bill. They even criticize the bill and then vote for it anyway! Ony 11 democrats voted against this bill.
As to the substance of the bill it gives money away to buisnesses that will not help the economy. Why give money to Amtrak when you could give the economy a quick boost? Sure, maybe it will create some oppourtunities in the long run, but this stimulus is supposed to provide a quick boost.
Jobs are not what the economy needs right now. Job creation takes years to fix the economy. Only in depressions should job creation be the first attempt at fixing the economy.What the economy does need is heavy tax cuts. Taking people's money is no way to fix the economy, giving them their money is. When our economy was last in a recession Reagan cut taxes heavily and spent everything else, and the economy was healed. Give the people tax cuts.
This is not a good start for the Obama administration. I am not impressed.
