give them bread and circuses

The Democrats appear to be completely caving in again (which is not surprising in the least) and basically giving Bush everything he wants on the new economic stimulus package. In reality the package is nothing more than a cheap bribe to the American people. Most of us working stiffs will get a $300 tax rebate - whoop-de-fucking-doo! Richer citizens will get bigger rebates and the poor (many of whom don't pay taxes) are left out in the cold.

Our so-called leaders just want us to go on blindly consuming shoddily-made, unneeded products and keep watching our "reality" shows while they and their corporate cronies continue to rape and pillage the economy and the government into oblivion.

You can read real analysis by people who know they're stuff here:
