Re: the stimulus bill....Obama was elected to do something quickly and it includes provisions for oversight and transparency.

The Pres ultimately signs (or vetoes) each of the 13 separate appropriation bills that make up the budget. That is supposed to happen by Sept 30, but hasnt for the last few Congresses.....then comes those catch all "omnibus" bills that keep the government running.

I think the Senate has a 1200 page document that explains the budget process...lol.
