Article: "GOP leaders doubt stimulus bill will pass Senate"

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday the massive stimulus bill backed by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats could go down to defeat if it's not stripped of unnecessary spending and focused more on housing issues and tax cuts."

"The Senate version of the bill, which topped out at nearly $900 billion, is headed to the floor for debate."

You read that correctly. Remember, that this is Crap Sandwich v2.0. The first one, of course, was that $700BILLION that Mr Paulson (yes, that one) said that we don't have the right to know where the money went or how they spent it.

Time for some math. 700,000,000,000 + 900,000,000,000 = $1.6TRILLION

And yet, we're still not promised that this will create one single job. And as far as I know, there are no controls put on this latest Crap Sandwich to force them to document where the money is going or who gets it.

Mad yet?
