there's going to be more money in the bill for the very rich than there ever is for putting people back to work.

When it comes to this stimulus package, virtually none of it is a benefit to the rich. Much of it is actually improvements to the social safety net and most of the tax cuts are broad based.

More importantly, who do you think is going to eventually pay for the vast vast majority of this nearly one trillion dollars? It isnt the poor or the middle class, they simply dont pay a very large percentage of the revenue of the US government. It will be the rich who ends up paying the bills. As I have said before, that's ok, they are the ones with the money....but anything that labels the stimulus as a gift to the rich that will be paid for by everybody else is simply wrong.
