I find it very hard to support that much spending when they haven't even figured out where they're going to get the money from.
Quit layering more laws on top of other laws. Review the current system because it's _obvious_ it's not working - and update the tax system. Too bad the government has so much corporate money baked into it's procedures that it'll never happen.
I glanced at the article and I'm not sure if I'm incorrect/misremembering, or if it's the classic NPR spin, but wasn't this part of the whole "taxing unrealized gains" plan as a way to pay for this?

How are you defining "figured out"? It sounds like you are expecting that to mean consensus, but the nature of politics is that every politician has "figured out" their own solution. So the only way to consensus is compromise, and that is what we are seeing here.
