I could cry about this, I am fighting back tears. If my son wasn't watching Sponge Bob in the same room with me, I would be crying.
Update:
Since so many seem confused about what the cuts mean, let me tell you. This bill wasn't only about creating new jobs, it was about SAVING millions of jobs. As of now, hundreds of thousands and state employees will now be laid off, teachers, fire fighters, police. You see the states can't afford to keep us and now all the democrats just decided that we deserve to be working.
Fuck the republicans, fuck Harry Reid, Fuck Susan Collins, and Fuck Ben Nelson!
Fuck all you guys. I have 2 children and a husband in grad school but I can't get a job because me state is in a hiring freeze and the democrats just caved on a job for me.
This is as personal as it gets, Harry Reid (you spineless piece of garbage) and the Senate Democrats have just hurt me and my family.
Fuck them!
Update:
Doesn't look good.
"WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, refused to give any ground today, despite the fact that the Senate was preparing to reduce the size of the stimulus package by billions of dollars that she probably will not be able to recoup during the conference sessions next week.
Ms. Pelosi, Democrat of California, said she had spoken with the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, earlier today, wryly adding that both Mr. Reid and the Obama administration were well aware of her views and concerns about cutting billions of dollars in proposed aid for education, for example."
