Oh the who, why, and what of username likes and dislikes don't matter. It was just ironic coming from him.

I like the fearmongering and stimulus plan topic the most. I don't like politics enough to participate in the other stuff.

Has anyone had a chance to browse through the actual bill?

Is the number of topics that can be successfully used to fear monger pretty limited or can an effective rhetorician basically take any sub-topic and make it work?

For instance, I'd say that external security and total economic melt down are pretty unsurpassed in their ability to scare people, and yet, the right charismatic xenophobe can raise immigration to the external security level.
