Democratic and Republican senators have reached a tentative agreement for a $780 billion stimulus package, according to two Democratic sources and a GOP negotiator.

I pray that it works, because if it doesn't, we are TOTALLY farked, way worse than if we did nothing.

Wow, insta-green. Nice.

That explains the sharp pain that I just felt in my rectum

If the bill is full of pork, stick it with a fork.

 
Hick [TotalFark] 2009-02-06 06:53:49 PM  
The pork package.

Oink Oink.

I heard about this on the radio a few mniutes ago. It sounded like Pelosi was kinda pissed actually.

Is that it?? We need moar spending! MOAR!!! Every Democrat who caves on this is a MURDERER!!

They -- and their power base -- are stimulated. We're farked.

It's as if a hundred million voters cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.

This thing is nothing but a huge waste of political pork. Basically flushing more money down the drain.

 
Dinki [TotalFark] 2009-02-06 06:55:24 PM  
780 Billion is not enough. Double that and you might make an impact on the economy. At most, this will do nothing more than mitigate some of the damage.

 
Herman Borrach 2009-02-06 06:55:32 PM  
Gots my fingers crossed that it accomplishes its objective. It won't prevent the long crapfest we're in for, but it might make it suck less.

 
megapaw 2009-02-06 06:55:41 PM  
I feel very stimulized!

How else to stimulate the economy?

Crash_Test_Dhimmi: Socializing a country is very expensive and full of fail

Which isn't what's happening at all.

Hick: The pork package.

cite some pork in the current senate bill. Not in the original, not in what the house has, but the current senate bill.

 
thereadlines [TotalFark] 2009-02-06 06:56:04 PM  
Good. Looks like someone found a way to get rid of all of this money we have lying around.

I just heard on the TV machine that Reid is still trying to sell it to the DEMs, since they lost more stuff.

A thrill just ran up my leg.

Doesn't the Senate and House bills have to be the exact same in order for the damn thing to pass. So if this is different and it passes then doesn't the house have to vote on this version. Add that the house will most likely make changes then I think this thing is far from over.

 
damitjim 2009-02-06 06:56:27 PM  
It's all over but the crying now... and the next 700 Billion when this one does nothing.

I hope it fails miserably, and launches this country into chaos, and turmoil, the likes of which we've never seen.

Please cite some pork.

Nice. Wait until Friday afternoon to do it:

a. Nice buried media story till Monday
b. Senators can go home for the weekend and not hear an earful from constituents.

/hopes it works.

Well... here's hoping it works.

You get the gonosyphalytus cleared up yet, or do I need to get some penecilin this weekend?

Doesn't look like there's going to be one, thankfully.

"Every Taxpayer... get ready to grab your ankles

Socializing a country is very expensive and full of fail"

And doing nothing and letting the private sector run nilly willy without regulations did SO MUCH GOOD for our economy.

This is not socializing the country, it's spending money to stimulate and create jobs. At this pont, there isn't anything else to try EXCEPT to let the country fail. But to the Repubs that sounds better than if Obama were to succeed.

....but good try

If it's anything like the one I got, it's resistant to most antibiotics.

Damn! I was soooo hoping to go out and buy some foreign made luxury items.

Hey Republicans when did education become "pork" all of a sudden?

I thought all they wanted to do was cut those "pork projects" why did they need to cut all the education funding?

 
Incredulous [TotalFark] 2009-02-06 07:00:06 PM  
Dinki 780 Billion is not enough.

Sounds to me like they trimmed about a quarter of a trillion dollars out from what it was this morning.

 
andrew131 [TotalFark] 2009-02-06 07:00:15 PM  
Not much we can do with this recession, other than quit comparing it to the Great Depression. The next person that calls this a depression, I will gouge their eyes out with a homeless man's penis.

Seriously. I don't think people in the Great Depression had HDTV, Super Bowl parties, and countless other luxuries we currently have.

letting your corporate crony capitalist pigs run amuck ain't too great either, republican.

Please cite some of that substance in the bill the senate has agreed on.

It still floors me that this one bill is bigger than what's been spent on the Iraq War.

oh, just go ahead and make it an even trillion so we can hear the funny British try to describe it
