Whining

From Reuters: Republicans upset as House panels move on stimulus

U.S. House of Representatives committees on Thursday backed a raft of tax cuts and spending programs as part of the $825 billion package to boost the ailing economy, despite Republican complaints that their proposals were not getting a fair hearing. 

... 

Republicans made clear they were unhappy that their ideas were not gaining any traction in the various committees considering the stimulus package, and plan to raise them with Obama next week when some House Republicans meet with him. 

... 

Republicans were looking to the Obama meeting next week to force some changes. 

... 

...said Rep. Dave Camp, the top Republican on the Ways and Means panel. "The American people know we cannot spend our way to prosperity."

I figured the whining would start early on into the President's term but this is day #2!  After 6 years of total Republican rule and 2 years of vetoes, I think the Red side of the aisle could knock off the complaining and get happy with the fact their ideas have amounted to the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression.  We might dig ourselves out of this a whole lot faster if they'd just sit down, shut up and stop crying.
