Bigger government that does less for you and gives you an attitude... as well as one filled with more corruption and will take every opportunity to grow bigger and steal your money to put in their pockets.....

8 years of wrecking our country is just very expensive to fix.

What 8 years are you speaking of? The last 8 years where Democrats have held Congress for the last 4 of them, Republicans 2, and a split Congress for the other 2? I agree, 8 years of wrecking the country is expensive to fix, I'm glad you acknowledge its the Democrats doing that...

(for the timeline, Split Congress 2001-2004, Republicans 2004-2006, and Democrats 2006-2010)

What do we get? Well would be useful if you read your own articles. These are operating expenses.

The measure combines $447 billion in operating budgets with about $650 billion in mandatory payments for federal benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, which provide health coverage for the elderly

Not surprising that the very limited Republicans are trying to pretend that 8 years of Bush/Republican control didn't dgg this country into a deep hole. A DEEP HOLE!

Bush given a SURPLUS and turned it into a RECORD DEFICIT. Obama given a RECORD DEFICIT! Get a clue.

President Obama doing what needs to be done to get this country back on track. So stand aside and learn.

Have you ever heard of cutting costs? In case you didn't get the memo, we are in a recession now.

Geez, on top of what Bush did to us.
Were you complaining then?
Didn't think so.
Yep, all problems in the US started on 20 Jan 2009.

What specifically do you like about the bill, and how do you think it will help revive the economy?
