There is pork from both sides if the aisle. Part of the problem is the perception that there is nothing bold in the bill to boost any sort of consumer confidence. Keeping 20 people employed is not a bad thing, but it does nothing to restore to confidence of the 90% of people employed who all think that they will lose their jobs. Obama is trying to micromanage the situation, and we just do not have the resources for that.
Part of the value of our economy is knowing that we have a valuable economy, but Obama is not using that psychology.
