this spending bill looks alot like what it would look like if there were a party at the capitol and every congressperson got drunk and voted.

maybe they did...

while there are many projects in the bill that I can support as they do invest in our future, this bill has way too many projects that are not "stimulus", and should be in the general spending bills.

guess we'll call it "the drunken sailor stimulus bill of 2009".

and yes udog, we should legalize and tax. think of the $billions that we save by no longer spending (futilly I might add) on enforcement, the revenue from the taxes, and the added benefit of no longer supporting the narco drug barons who are destabilizing our neighbors to the south.
