What you say is true. Heard the Republican minority leader saying that they aren't ready to pass the bill yet, without hearings. Obama is meeting with Congressional leaders tomorrow to discuss.
What you say about foreign countries is true too. Has been true all along, even during the Bush administration.

I think Congress is getting the message that the public is a little fed up with bailouts and stimulus packages in the billions. It didn't get a ton of airplay during the holidays, but it came out that Wall Street used some of their bailout money to pay huge year end bonus' to their executives; and refused to answer questions as to how they were using the money. They claimed there is no requirement for them to report on the use of the money. I kept waiting for Congress to whine that they were pushed to act quickly and did not get a chance to ponder it... but it disappeared off the press radar and that was that.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm thinking about buying some stuff, but I want a stimulus check to convince me to do it... ;-)
