On the recordFebruary 7, 2008
I continue to be almost shocked at the lack of debate regarding this stimulus package and its nature and effect on our economy. This is a roughly $150 billion package. Most of this package is oriented toward sprinkling, if you will, checks around our country. I really feel for people around our country who are in tremendous economic distress. But I have to say that, to me--and this is just one opinion, and I have tremendous respect for this body and the various opinions that exist here--this has to be, in my humble opinion, one of the most irresponsible things we have done since I have been in the Senate.
