The Fierce Urgency of Pork

The problem is no one really knows how to inject money
into a severe economic situation that stimulates the economy
and is not wasted because...

Its frkkn impossible.

If a government spends this much money,
some of it WILL be wasted. Seems to me like the
two parties have very different definitions of what
waste is. Republicans are willing to waste huge money
on a war against terrorism(Iraq). Pork is money
that goes into a congressional district that is not
yours or something you do not believe in. For Republicans
money spent on the military, intelligence, etc... cannot
possibly be Pork by the very definition of where the money
goes.

So all the Republicans can basically say about the bill is
it is a giant waste of money because they apparently had
no clue on how to dole out money properly either. A lot
of money that was supposed to stimulate the economy
went directly to pay off debt or stabilize the appearance
on some bank balance sheets. Loans are still difficult to get,
people that do have money are not spending it...
Republicans have absolutely no clue what to do
either. Tax cuts did next to nothing given the enormity
of the current problem.
Obama got elected mainly because of Republican incompetence
in so many areas. So I say shut the hell up because you
got us into some of the worst messes this country has
seen for a long time.
