I agree. imagine if they posted the bill online for 72 hours. The media would tear it apart and show everyone all the wasteful spending that is in it. I think we need a stimulus plan, but I think just throwing money into the economy is not the way to go and that nobody is reading the bill and most probably don't know even 10% of what is in it really troubles me.

And I'm sure there are plenty of people who have snuck some things into the bill that they don't want made public.
