I have a stimulus headache!

When I first started looking at this entirely unmanageable stimulus bill it was over 300 pages, which approaches unreasonable.

As H.R. 1 now stands it is 1588 pages. There are only a couple of reasons a single bill would ever be that big. The first is that the desire was to make it so complex and obtuse that no one would be able to read, understand, and keep track of every part of it. This coincides with the amount of money (nearly a TRILLION DOLLARS!) associated with it. Quite frankly, with that much money and a bill this large and complicated, you would need an extra BILLION dollars just to set up an agency to monitor the corruption being proliferated in the name of this bill. The second reason you would make a bill this big is to make sure that you had enough pork in it to offend every Jew, Muslim, and vegetarian on the planet. This bill is nothing more than a 'pat on the back' pay back to the groups that propelled the Democrats into power. I'm disgusted and overwhelmed at the stupidity of this whole thing.

I know the economic situation is tough, I see it every day (more layoffs in my company coming today), but this doesn't even approach being a responsible or EFFECTIVE approach. This is a power grab! This is outrageous! I'm nauseous...
