Thank You Nancy Pelosi for securing a republican take over of congress in 2010. We couldn't have asked for a better stooge to secure that for Americas future. 58% of America polled(rasmussen polls) predicts a Republican president next election(2012). Majority of those signing that bill will be unemployed but not soon enough. 10.2% national unemployment, stimulus fail, This bill will add to unemployment, time to tar and feather and run the socialists out of DC.

Why do democrats hate America? Let's not forgot the tax incentive they put in this bill. If you don't get it, it is $15,000 fine or five years in jail. I keep forgetting though that the dems know whats best for us and that we are incompetent as a society to make our own decisions. 2010 can't get here fast enough.
