Yeah, I know. I was basically trying to find the highest reported cost for the stimulus bill and show that even that was not enough. $3.27 trillion is over 10 years, but really it should be considered as the majority paid upfront, even it is not exhausted immediately. I really did pull that $3.27 trillion number out of my ass -- I was originally going to use just the amount of cash from the stimulus bill (shocking, I know), but I figured I'd get a lot of flak for ignoring other spending (even if it's not stimulus). You saw my point though: the stimulus is horribly low for what we need and, if I may so myself, is an absolutely awful bill. I disagreed incredibly with many of the choices they made and was disappointed with the entire lack of regulation. I have no idea what caused this, Democrats fracturing or compromising, but it was disheartening.

I am liberal and call myself a Democrat, but I really hate the Democratic party. I feel like half of them are only Democrats because to be a Republican is to be unelectable. I would like to see some actually liberal policies put in place for a change.
