I think they're unhappy that while he's giving them more breaks than pretty much anyone thinks they should get it's not getting everything they want.

Did you expect the stimulus package would save the economy simply by passing through the Senate? Even once it becomes law, it's going to take months to start taking effect and years before the economy will begin to fully recover. It's not a simple headache which the economy has got going here...it's a serious disease and it's not going to get better by popping a couple of tylenol. There's serious surgery in the works and the recovery is going to take time. Simplistic takes on moment by moment circumstances isn't helpful. Hey Rich, I hope you’re kidding?
