Do any of the liberals championing this remember the way the last rushed stimulus package turned out? They still don&#8217;t know where much of the money went. Does the first stimulus package have oversight yet?. Remember the CBO <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicfrog.net\/?p=1016\">was worried<\/a> about the difficulty of hiring people who can understand the intensely complicated financial work involved (<em>not one of the millionaires on Capital Hill knows a capable accountant?<\/em>). Is this bill any less complicated? Do any of the liberals championing this package of pork remember the outrage of their liberal constituents and the way they had\u00a0 to run for cover after it was revealed they passed the Patriot Act without reading it? Because, they said,\u00a0 they were not given enough time to do so??? Of course, since they were voted back into office, maybe reading bills and contemplating the long term, or even short term consequences just doesn&#8217;t matter anymore.<\/p>\n<p>PS.
