He didn't go into details or address some of the allegations of wasteful government spending that have imperiled the bill's passage in the Senate as its size swelled to nearly $1 trillion. Ballmer doesn't have a clue what's in the largest pork bill of all time does he?

and frankly if you stop and think about it, 1837, '73, '29, 2008, it's almost exactly a whole lifetime between each of the major economic difficulties that we face."

"We can't rely on a losing formula that offers only tax cuts as the answer to all our problems while ignoring our fundamental economic challenges." Now that's the Obama I know ... Tenchusatsu
