Still more

As the arguments continue that the proposed deal will accomplish a lot of important things, let me further describe my own position.

It is true that the country needs more stimulus, the middle class needs a tax cut and the unemployed need their benefits. Some of the other fixes in the announced deal are vital to many people in the country. I am not convinced that this is the only way to get those things done.

Since all of this is true, why wasn’t anything done sooner? Why wait until the last minute and then cry expediency when criticized? Why pretend that this is the only way to get things done?

If something is necessary it should be done without unnecessary things being added to it and it should be worth fighting for. There wasn’t even an argument for the basics in this. There is too much posturing and not enough work being done.

I know, I expect honesty and justice. What was I thinking.
