"The government could get at $250 billion immediately, $100 billion more if the president certified it was necessary, and the last $350 billion with a separate certification — and subject to a congressional resolution of disapproval.

"Still, the resolution could be vetoed by the president, meaning it would take extra-large congressional majorities to stop it."

In other words, a blank check with no REAL congressional oversight. This is a complete rip off.

2. I think Reagan was a much bigger crook,

Bush is just the most stupid and was used by big crooks like Chaney. Another point that has not been discussed is how fast the money is going to be spent. Remember that Bush is not going to be in office much longer. His career as president is effectively over in November.
