So, with a few weeks worth of work they found $29 billion? How about we give them a few more weeks. Maybe they’ll find another $20 billion.

A few more weeks after that - another few billion.

The point is, that had we listened to the Democrats and Obama who demanded passage then and there because we’re in a crisis, we’d have had a bloated and wasteful package. Now, Pelosi et al are touting a just slightly less bloated package.

Let them keep working the problem and getting the numbers down. It seems that time is helping reduce the size of the package (but it’s still more than the nation can afford - particularly when 85% of Americans are already covered by public or private insurance plans).
