It’s getting people to spend money. So do you still believe, as you have said in recent days, that this is quote ‘a great example of the stupidity coming out of Washington’?"

DeMint defended GOP opposition, explaining:
Well, this is another program that was rushed through without even reading the bill language....And the dealers tell me it’s been so mismanaged they have no idea when and if they’re going to get their money....The problem here is instead of across the board tax cuts that would have the same effect on our whole economy, the federal government is trying to run a particular business by targeting just the auto industry here with this bill....This is just an out-of-control government at the federal level right now, and we need to stop and see what we’ve done. And it just doesn’t make any sense to keep rushing through bills, borrowing money from our children, and then saying, ‘shazam, we’ve sold some cars.’

Its all an illusion.

Thanks for the link dc ---This administration doesn't want any scrutiny of their so-called economic plan. (most transparent administration in history! Really?)

It's little more than a spending orgy crammed down taxpayers throats under the banner of "recovery"!!! (and any critics will be labeled right-wing mob)
