The House proposed a bill that had twice the number of jobs at 1/2 the cost. They offered many amendments. All good Republican ideas shot down by party lines.
The RINOs in the Senate almost got it down to the size of the House bill. With amendments added in plus interest - it is well over $1 trillion. Geitner just said Treasury would put up to $2 trillion into the market. The Fed, behind the scenes has loaned about $10 trillion over the last 3 months. Fox and Bloomberg News have filed FOIA to get info on this - no response from the Fed.
Any ideas where all this money will come from? How about inflation - anyone in government worried about that?
Sure, either print it or borrow it from our dear trading partners the Chinese.
