"The Bill"

Obama's Congress is on track to pass a stimulus bill that could easlily top $900 billion. Though no Republicans voted for the bill, it slipped through the House and has now landed at the feet of the Senate. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Sunday that their region alone had requested at least $2.5 billion in requests. To me, Obama has bet his future legacy as President on this bill. Essentially, Obama has modeled himself after FDR in his crafting of this legislation. The problem is...FDR's New Deal did squat to improve the then "dead" U.S. economy of the 1930s. WWII saved FDR and the US economy in one scoop. One is left to wonder if history will repeat itself. More importantly, however, is the prospect of how a humble Joe like myself can get a big piece of this benevolent pie. Hmmmm.....
