A) it was not a trillion The stimulus was 852B. But there has been plenty of other wild spending. B) one third of it was tax cuts with which you normally agree And with which you normally DISAGREE, and in fact you have constantly bashed Bush for tax cuts. c) another third was for extended unemployment and assistance for the job dispossessed...would a republican not have provided such assistance to people in trouble? I would NEVER, EVER pay people not to work. Period, end of story. If they're going to receive money they ought to be working for it, at the very least. d) Obama care has NOT driven up costs...the reports all indicate that costs are slowing You don't know what you're talking about.

>> McConnell's proclamation during the early days of Obama's presidency proves you wrong on this ...republicans were for things that became anathema once embraced by Obama...it has been a disgrace to watch frankly. McConnell is one person who, today, has no power. Of course Republicans wanted to stop Obama's agenda; just as liberals wanted to stop Bush's. But the problem in Congress today is twofold: (a) No presidential leadership, and (b) Harry Reid. How can you POSSIBLY defend a Senate who has not brought a budget to floor in years? That is derelict, any way you slice it, and it is representative of the kind of obstruction Reid's Senate is known for.
