CAN IT BE DONE? YES, THEY CAN....

I couldn't believe it when I heard that the stimulus bill the Dems are cooking is about 1100 page long. It only took congress a few days to at least read such bulky bill and they were ready to vote on it? How many did you think totally read the bill in toto? Are members of Congress masters of the art of speed-reading? One has to wonder with the hasty approval of the bill without prior review.

Well, I am one with the rest of the world that an immediate solution should be presented to address the crisis and it has to be quick and swift. I didn't realize that it was that quick. There might be a downside to this. A bill not properly reviewed and debated might present some loopholes later on. The last thing that we need are gaffes and blunders from the incompetence of legislators to actually study a bill.

I understand the urgency of the situation, so does everybody else too. We are in the middle of an economic mess we wish we hadn't been into. However, the realities of life does not permit us to be fatalistic. Solutions and ideas must be concretized to combat this terrible crisis. But a hastily passed bill that is integral to economic recovery might not probably be the best solution.
