A bill worth so much money, in my opinion, is inexcuseable....and coming on the heels of an election were we were promised such transparency and no pork, we get a bill that was 70% pork (and you are right many media sources are slanted but you will find the 70% number to be pretty universal everywhere) !
To me this is not a party thing in anyway, and am sorry that you came from that angle, but am I assuming that you support or dont support the bill ?????

the bill. However, I know something had to be done to get the economy moving after the Bush disaster. Remember we almost went into a depression with a complete breakdown of the banking system, etc. Maybe if some Republicans had supported a more moderate bill, there could have been some compromises that would have resulted in a better bill. But please don't tell me the Republicans aren't party to this type of wasteful pork. It's been going on for decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations. The Republicans only get religion about wasteful spending when there is a Democratic president. I have no doubt that this waste didn't bother the original poster when it occurred under Bush, and Reagan etc. I call that being a hypocrite.
