My feeling about the bill and the process is:
It is too based on the believe that the govornment can increase it's size and spend our way out of the current situation.
We just don't have the money!
It is full of earmarks...
The people that will be dolling out the money are selfserving, currupt, hypocrits that stuffed this bill full of everything they tried to pass in the past. This is a point that you fail to except or you are ok with.
The bill was written based on emotion and not economics.
Bottom line.... The process was just plain wrong and this bill is a joke. Thats just my opinion.

So what's your solution rather than just your complaint.
I agree we can't afford to create a larger government, however at this juncture in history in the past, governments normally take action, Keynesian Economics .
Reagan was the one recent exception to the stimulus mantra, amid harsh criticism on the hill Reagan reduced the size of the federal government and cut taxes across the board.
I do agree that tax cuts have proven to invigorate the economy compared to stimulus handouts.
Would you be happier if the government did NOTHING? Sure sounds that way
