They turned the idea into political gamesmanship. with the head of their campaign committee calling for "tough votes." The American people are tired of political "gotcha." We dont have time for it. The economy needs a boost right now. So I think we need to step back and ask ourselves what this exercise was all about in the first place. My preference is to modify the House package to include rebate checks for seniors and disabled veterans and certainly eliminate the possibility that any illegal immigrants will get checks. The White House and Treasury Secretary have indicated support for such a plan. so we can expect it will be signed into law. Meanwhile. we have no such assurance for the alternative. larger proposal Senate Democrats apparently are still hashing out.
