Stimulus Mistakes?

I agree with you that the Obama admin is doing much of this on purpose and the ecomony is a smoke screen for his adgenda. One difference of opinion I have is your asking about congress. Obama came from the senate and his best buddies are the cronies that are helping his cause. they are not going to "check and balance" anything because they are in it with him. the only recourse I think we have is to vote them out in 2010, when half of congress is up for re-election we need to get a republican majority back in the house and senate. hopefully there will still be a country left by then.
