If you want to be one of the lucky few to actually see what is in the bill for yourself (instead of reading the cliff notes version), click here:

As you look through you will be amazed.
Do we need more domestic attention? We do - absolutely. However, you can't cut taxes and increase spending. You can't cut taxes and wage two wars. We can't cut taxes and continue planning yet another $100 billion bailout bill. We can't have it all - we need to sacrifice for our country. We all need to pull together as individual Americans and sacrifice. Some might say that this bill is that sacrifice. However, this bill doesn't require any sacrifice of us - at least not for quite some time. It requires a sacrifice of our children and our unborn and their unborn. This bill also doesn't do anything for them. It arguably won't make things better for them as it doesn't change the fundamentals of what has and is going wrong in America. Taxing the future for the status quo is reckless, dangerous and irresponsible. What is the sacrifice we must make? No one has asked us for one.

Thanks for posting a link to that PDF. 496 pages seems intimidating but it's really not that long. I'm in the process of cleaning it up and I think by the time I'm done it will only be about 150 pages. Really interesting to read what is in there.
