Empty your pockets

The House of Representatives voted to pass the 819 billion dollar "stimulus" package, thankfully without a single Republican vote.

You are now solely responsible for this, Democrats.

The Wall Street Journal has an editorial that points out just how much pork is in the bill for health care alone. Just 90 billion of the bill could reasonably be considered infrastructure spending, the rest is just gravy to be spread among the politicians' supporters.

Here's one sentence that basically sums up the fraudulence of the entire scheme:

"The centerpiece tax cut calls for a $500 break for single workers and $1,000 for couples, including those who don't earn enough to owe federal income taxes."

Pardon me, but people who don't pay taxes can't get a tax cut. It's income redistribution, plain and simple.

I plan on questioning my Congressman, Democrat Harry Reid, quite vigorously tomorrow on just how this monstrosity of federal spending is supposed to solve all of our country's problems.
