The House republicans set an example for the jelly spined republicans in the Senate to which to uphold. The Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Plan passed the House nary a single republcan vote. David Espo, AP [1]:
WASHINGTON – In a swift victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House approved a historically huge $819 billion stimulus bill Wednesday night with spending increases and tax cuts at the heart of the young administration’s plan to revive a badly ailing economy.
The vote was 244-188, with Republicans unanimous in opposition despite Obama’s pleas for bipartisan support.
There is darned little if any stimulus in Pelosi-Reid-Obama but a lot of pork. House repubican were wise to walk away from this sink bomb. Can any reader find any stimulus in this package?
