Not saying it is right, for I believe it is not the right way to run a representative government. But to imply that only one side does this is also not right.

There's a huge difference. Yes, both parties have dirty hands but never before in US history has such a large bill been passed ... almost EXCLUSIVELY by ONE party.
No one's saying that just one side does things like this. However, I think it would be flawed to not recognize that one side has a greater propensity for ramrodding expensive legislation.
I challenge anyone to find a bill even HALF this large that was pushed through with only Republican support during the early Bush years.
