what sucks is they’re busy adding ornaments to get a few more republicans(or democrats) onboard. These guys wouldn’t go for $700 billion so they added $150 billion to it.
In the House, officials of both parties said they were increasingly confident that politically enticing provisions bootstrapped to the original bill — including $150 billion in tax breaks for individuals and businesses — would win over at least the dozen or so votes needed to reverse Monday’s outcome and send the measure to President George W. Bush.
maybe it’s a good deal for $150 billion, but sure seems funny how spending more get’s people to change their vote. Funny as in “I feel funny after eating those prawns at the buffet”.
