-The method of limited and slow action toward transparency, appears to be similar to what led "bad judgment American investors" to be taken by predatory lenders; thus impacting an "investor's Crisis" which unfolds today.

Skimming the PDF, and chapters of urgent interest found at: readthestimulus.org... And the stimulus update, which finally arrived this evening at: Michelle Malkin's.

My personal evaluation:
This looks like Governmental regime building; absent success markers from the archives of our Nation's history, and symbiotic relationship of a 'people to productivity' ratio...
-porkulus bill is entirely ill suited to target difficult economical times.
