Obama correctly has understood that the economic slowdown is his top priority. But to sign a bill spending $800 billion, almost twice the size of last year's deficit, without our elected representatives having a chance to even read the full text of the 1500-page bill is a distortion of democracy. The economy is experiencing a downturn, yes. But even if every family had to cut its budget 10 percent, would that be so bad? Why the panic? Have we lost our toughness? Have we forgotten what it means to be American?
Obama isn't offering hope. This is fear.
