I wonder why there has been such a mad rush over the weekend to get the stimulus bill passed?

I wonder if the details in the following paragraph have anything to do with it?

The following was pulled from an article at cnn.com written by Paul Steinhauserfound. The article's direct link is- http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/06/stimulus.polls/

"Fifty-one percent of those questioned in a CBS News poll released Thursday evening approved of the stimulus package. That's down 12 points from a poll taken January 11-15, the last time CBS asked the question. Thirty-nine percent opposed the plan, up 15 points from the previous poll, taken before President Barack Obama was inaugurated and before the House of Representatives passed an $819 billion stimulus package, with no Republican support, on January 28."

It looks like all the thieves in Congress see that if many more details of how yours and my tax dollars will be spent in this "recovery plan", they understand that it won't have any public support. I guess that is why there has been an increase in the necessity to get this bill passed right away. If another week or two goes by without approval, then support for this plan may fall into the low 40's. Then there would be a real problem for them. If there is much more emphasis on how our money may be wasted, they may end up with nothing to pass. And my guess is that most politicians, that would worse than a horrible economy, worse than a bad bill. If this bill doesn't pass, and they don't get all the special funding for their own pet projects, then their lobbyist will really get pissed. I would like to know how much these politicians really care for us as Americans, and how many really just care about getting their special interest or project funded in the name of "recovery."

I heard some of these egg-suckers talking on Meet the Press about how this bill WILL get passed this week. It's no longer a question of if and when, but how quickly this week. Everybody better get their emails fired up and get their thoughts sent off to their representatives in the Senate, House of Representatives, and White House.
