Quicks thoughts on the Stimulus

I was sitting here thinking about the stimulus package that Obama pushed through congress and how it was a massive failure of the bipartisanship that Obama promised to advocate for in Washington.

Anyways, I think the reason this failed so massively is because it was drawn up solely by Obama and the Democrats and the Republicans were not invited in until the Democrats had already counted on all of the pork that they drew up.

I would compare it to falling in love with a car while car shopping than having your friend (that came with you to be your wing man while you finish the deal with the car salesman) tell you that you shouldn't get it for this or that reason, making some valid points in their argument. Meanwhile, you've already test drove the car, told all of your friends how great it is and the whole nine yards, and you're like, sorry, but I don't care, I've already made up my mind.

To me, this is precisely what happened in this bill. If the Republicans had been invited, from the beginning, to help craft this bill, it would have been a much larger bipartisan effort and would have not only given the American people a better bill, but it would have been a show of confidence in the government by the American people, as opposed to us watching the news and seeing that all 176 Republican members of congress voted nay.
