Damnit! I'm rep'd by a [D] and an [R] who agree with each other. Free country. Let failures fail. I hate this. But what choice do we have except to swallow a bitter pill? What started as a bad 3-page proposal—has become a bad 3-page proposal with 447 pages of pork.

There's an additional 100 Billion in tax-cut incentives that Democrats proposed for the Republicans to get them to sign... that will be applied directly to the national debt. This is a horrible-yet-unavoidable band-aid on a 40-year problem... which prevents anyone from learning from their own consequences. Did I mention I don't like it?
