But this money was going to banks, investment bankers, the Conservative constiuency. It was OK then.

"One of the tactics of high pressure selling is to set a deadline, and make it clear if you don’t chose the offer by the date set, you lose it. The strategy fuels a sense of urgency to get buyers to make decisions without seeking advice or doing too much thinking. Sometimes, a bribe or a threat adds pressure to create a sense of disorientation. Recall President Bush’s ultimatum to Saddam Hussein and his sons. They were given 48 hours to get out of town. Or else! Does anyone really think that had they left, they would have been left alone?"

However, the Obama stimulus has a chance of helping the little guy. And according to Conservatives, that money is wasted.
