This is what I was worried about...

This economic stimulus bill is getting out of hand. On election night last November, when I watched the Democratic party rout the GOP in a stomping the likes of which we haven't seen since the 1992 elections, I instantly dreaded the results.

Not because I'm ultra-conservative or a liberal-hater, but because now, in this volatile political and economic environment, there is a single group of people "unified" in their vision for America that now has virtually unquestioned control over the nation for the next two years.

Instead of being the bipartisan body that logically discusses and finds solutions to issues that President Obama wished upon us, Congress has become a giant Democratic circlejerk that, because of majorities in both chambers of the Capitol that are the largest in recent memory, feels that they can do whatever they want to with little to no oversight or opposition - they're like a 5-year old kid when the parents leave the house.

So now, under the veil of an economic emergency, Congress has essentially been granted unlimited latitude to pass what is quite possibly the largest single pork-barrel spending bill in history. Remember when, using "National Security" as a reason, President Bush was granted executive wartime spending priveleges, and then used it to start not one, but two ill-advised wars? I'm concerned that the same thing will happen here: using current events as a shield, a now decidedly partisan Congress will push through whatever legislation they want until the next round of elections.

I sincerely hope President Obama starts calling out specific individuals for this crap--a lot of damage can be done in two years.
