This weekend, President Obama called the innaction of Washington leaders "inexcusable." Focusing much of his narrative speech on the drought of jobs, the loss of homes, and the depth of the situation we are heading toward, all stressed the words "we need to act now."
What contradicts his motivate to push this stimulus package through regards the false reassurance of exploring every option, every initiative, every provision, and leaving "no stone unturned." With the time that President Obama means to sign this bill through - allows for only the most inappropriate amount of time to dig in and cut out the fat. It unfrotuantely takes time and resources to muddle through and compromise. One, five, ten years down the road ... are we going to have wished that we used the time and the resources we had available to relook at the stimulus? This will become the question of the term - a facet of our new President's tenure which I hope will not have to become one of retreat.
