If it was okay to pass a trillion dollar bail out for big banks that made big mistakes that hurt our economy without requirements that they actually use the money to lend to people, then why is not to give real working people a stimulus package?
It makes me sick to hear these aristocrat republicans complaining about wasteful spending and welfare, when in fact more wasteful spending and welfare goes to big corporations and rich people via tax cuts etc.
Do we live in a democracy or an aristocracy?
It looks like the stimulus will pass, but hopefully it does so without getting rid of critical provisions that will help our economy and independence in the long run, like funding for solar and wind energy that will lead to new jobs and energy independence as well as help fight global warming and pollution.
Please call your Senators and Representatives and tell them to pass the stimulus with meaningful help for real working Americans, not rich leisure class Americans who don't need any help, and whose economic practices have led to the economic problems we face.
