The tone of the 24/7 coverage on cable television cracks me up, I expect rivers to turn to blood by Thursday whether or not the bill gets passed. As you say there is nothing new or different going on, the economy will recover even absent any government action, all we are really arguing about is whether a proposed action will speed the recovery in a meaningful way at a rational cost. The unemployment rate was just reported at 7.6%, look around you, is your life any different than when it was at 5.4%? But oh, they say, people are suffering! How can you not feel for the suffering of the people! As if life three years ago was never ending joy ... people were suffering then too, except nobody noticed them cause the media was focused more on foreign affairs than domestic difficulties, or they were focused on a particular part of the nation (I'm looking at you, New Orleans!) rather than noticing the economy wasn't near as strong as a lot of people thought it was.
