Stimulus Bill Passes Senate

The Senate, with Sens. Snowe, Collins and Specter in tow, have passed their version of the spectacularly awful stimulus package. The measure passed 61-37 with one member not voting.

When the final bill becomes resolved between the House and Senate, we can expect it to be even worse with members of both branches trying to get a little extra gravy for the people back home.

Then they can all sit back, proud of themselves, for at least having done something, even if having done nothing at all would have been the better option.
