Forget about which party you belong to and figure out something that is good for the country and not a particular party. Seems like common sense to me, but what the hell do I know.

No - you are absolutely right. However, getting it right requires thought and debate. If you look at whats been posted, there is a ton of garbage in this stimulus. No "guy" got us into this mess, no one person, no one party, it was a number of factors over a long period of time. However, this stimulus package is the result of one guy (at least sponsoring it) and one party, thus there is a lot of criticism. We have NEVER spent this much money before and if we get this wrong, we can screw things up for decades. This bill is a big charity package that does not reward those that spent wisely. Lets stimulate by giving the money people EARNED back to the people that earned it! Lower my taxes!
I just did my 2008 last night and almost puked. I benefit from no rebate, stimulus, nothing, I jusy pay so everyone else can.
