Attention Liz.
While you're getting all worked up about blaming the Bush Administration for the Stimulus payment plan flop as evidenced by your '8 years' crack.
You MIGHT want to actually READ The Text of the bill itself, found HERE:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-5140
Of note, the Date is '3rd of January, 2008". That's earlier THIS Year, NOT the previous 8, THIS YEAR.
And of note, the bill's sponsor is...
REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA).
Now you see I made that text, BOLD and LARGER then normal just so you could read...
That a HOUSE DEMOCRAT, no the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, who is a DEMOCRAT, has been since the Democrats took back the house in 2006, is the one the who Sponsored THIS bill, which was signed into law by the President.
In other words, Lizbeth, once again the party YOU support, the one YOU are voting for, is the one that screwed YOU. Not the Republicans. Not the President of the United States, George Bush. But the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
In fact here's a voting breakdown of how Congress voted:
House: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2008-25
Senate: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2008-10
In the house a Whopping 10, Yes TEN Democrats voted against this bill compared to 25 Republicans who voted no. In the Senate, No Democrats voted against this bill.
Now while you're busy raging against the machine over there, Please in mind:
-The Machine restricts your freedoms or takes them away entirely.
-The Machine is taking away your money by going into your wallet.
-The Machine is planning on doing more of the above in the future.
-You unfailingly and without flinching support the machine in all of it's moves.
Thanks for playing.
