...is that everyone gets something they don't want, and they have to live with it.
Even though the jobless rate just rose again, and the economy is in full-blown disaster mode, it looks like the stimulus package (which is clearly being designed to get support from both sides) is going to get heat from fellow Democrats, too.
I'm not saying that to be a good Senator is to fall in line with the President, but for the love of God, be real. The Senate passed the Wall Street Bailout faster than it appears they intend to pass stimulus for the average American citizen.
Hopefully this is all just bluster (Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet, after all) and when it comes down to brass tacks, they'll get it done. Nonetheless, the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate appears addicted to shooting itself in the foot.

You know what really annoys the fucking shit out of me? hearing powerful congressional democrats being like "Look, we have a process and there's separation of powers and congress is equal to the executive branch and we're gonna put our foot down about A B and C"
It's like NOW YOU BELIEVE THAT? Where the fuck were you the past eight years?! You wait until a Democrat gets into power to start flexing your muscles? What kind of sadistic egomaniac does that?!
Okay. Time to take a valium.
