Anxiously awaiting the final stimulus package

Any day now the Senate will be voting on the stimulus package (that already passed in the House) and I for one am very curious as to what it will include. Hopefully it will actually stimulate our economy--because I am not really in favor of the government giving so many handouts...and if the handouts are all in vain it could be catastrophic for the US and the dollar. Until I hear what the final version includes I will be crossing my fingers that the $900 Billion will lead to a good thing.

My dad told me about a new song from Big and Rich that is pretty fitting, and I tried post the song so you could hear it, but since it's new I am out of luck and so I will settle with posting the lyrics.

Shuttin' Detroit Down
My daddy taught me in this country everyone’s the same.
You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame,
When it don’t go your way.
Now I see all these big shots whining on my evening news,
About how their losing billions and it’s up to me and you
To come running to the rescue.

Well pardon me if I don’t shed a tear.
They're selling make believe and we don’t buy that here.

(chorus)
Because in the real world they're shuttin’ Detroit down,
While the boss man takes his bonus paid jets on out of town.
DC’s bailing out them bankers as the farmers auction ground.
Yeah while they're living up on Wall Street in that New York City town,
Here in the real world they're shuttin’ Detroit down.
Here in the real world they're shuttin’ Detroit down.

Well that old man’s been working in that plant most all his life,
Now his pension plan’s been cut in half and he can’t afford to die
And it’s a crying shame, cus he ain’t the one to Blame.
When I looked down to see his calloused hands,
Well let me tell you friend it gets me fightin’ mad.

(chorus)

Yeah while there living up on Wall Street in that New York City town,
Here in the real world their shuttin’ Detroit down.
Here in the real world their shuttin’ Detroit down,
In the real world their shuttin’ Detroit down.
Their shuttin’ Detroit down.
