Stimupork Passes Senate
Democrats predict the plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs and help pull the nation out of the most severe recession in 70 years. [ We can measure this and we will; and we will find out if the stimupork works or not. - Drake ]
[...]
The stimulus plan’s costliest item is a $400 payroll tax cut for individuals and $800 for couples. [ This is nothing. It's pathetic. It's "that little bit" Pbama and the likes of Hillary MrsSatan Clinton want you to have. - Drake ]
[...]
Senator Edward Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat who is battling brain cancer, didn’t vote and one of Minnesota’s Senate seats remains vacant.
[...]
“It is over a thousand pages,” said Representative Tom Price, a Georgia Republican. “It is physically impossible for any member to have read this bill.”
Artists get $50 million. LA Times:
...lo and behold, there's $50 million in it for artists and the nonprofit arts organizations that provide many of their job opportunities. Those who still can afford Champagne had best keep the cork in until a Senate vote expected later today.
Americans for the Arts, which mounted a lobbying and public-pressure campaign to get the arts what amounts to a one-sixteen-thousandth share of the spending and tax breaks in the bill, is hailing it as "an important victory."
The group says its constituents sent more than 100,000 messages.
How can we go wrong giving $50M to artists? When was the last time you personally viewed a really good crucifix in a jar of urine or a religious painting smeared with animal dung? Darn it, creativity doesn't just happen, you know.
Some say Nanny Pelosi earmarked $30 million for a pet project of hers involving the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
Others claim the salt marsh harvest mouse story is untrue.
Let me remove my "Thinking and Facts Cap" and put on my Liberal "I Believe" cap. There. Now...I believe that Nanny Pelosi earmarked $30 million for some damn mouse. See, facts don't matter.
