In an article that I'm sure will please some of the critics of the American liberalson the board, Jack Cafferty, normally a democrat booster, has some big problems with the stimulus bill, placing a lot of blame at the feet of Reid and Pelosi, but not letting the big man off the hook either.

What's the solution? How do the U.S. billmakers get rid of the pork projects when both sides seem so entrenched in their ways? Will we ever see bipartisanship, or are both sides going to continue to sacrifise the countries future for their own projects, and the luxury of being able to say, 'I was right, you were wrong,' instead of working with each other?
Sometimes I truly think that many of the lawmakers already see the impending doom on the horizon and have givne up trying to stave it off or make a difference, and instead are worried only about building up their families and their houses against the umcoming storm.
