It was a bipartisan bill. The Democrats pushed economy killing measures like paying more to people in unemployment than they got when working, thus encouraging people to stay unemployed and helping to prevent the economy from recovering. The Republicans pushed economy preserving measures like small business loans to help keep people employed.
The pork for big oligopoly corporations was unsurprisingly pushed by both sides.
