Peter, It sounds like Obama didn't do much of a job getting his party on board with the stimulus package. It sounds like way too much pork. But as a life long Barry Goldwater Republican, this crisis is the Republican's failure. It's the extreem swing of the pendilum from the Ronald Regan de-regulation initiative. Now despite all the good that came with the conservatives, we are headed back to FDR and socialism. The Republicans need to help make this problem go away as quick as possible, before everyone turns against them. Marx and Lenin will tell you that there is nobody as angry as an unemployed worker. Regards, Bob S.
