What do you expect when everyone running the government are millionaires (at least)? You should know by now that they only care about their kind and could care less for the "poor folks". You do not hear anything in these bills that will help anyone making less than $250,000. When I lost over $200,000 of my retirement fund no one came to me and gave me a bail out. But with the idoits that lost millions of other folks money, They couldn"t give them billions fast enough. To the same idiots that were responsible for losing the money in the first place. Personaly, I have no faith in anyone in our government from the president on down the line. If Obama wants to save some money he should park the big airplane and quit acting like a rock star. And stop wasting money on all the TV shows. We don"t need to see him every day. Stay in Washington and do yur job. You don"t need to waste tax payers money flying all over the country making speaches. Shame on all of you.

It needs to be re-engineered, re-thought, re-written and properly indexed. Perhaps Dems will get THAT done in a future bill since they now have two years of stability in which to do it.
