I haven’t written much on the “stimulus package,” in large part because there is not much I can say that already hasn’t been said, and partly because I am just thoroughly disgusted with the actions of our representatives.
Sen. Nelson (D-Nebraska) stood on the floor of the Senate late Friday night (February 6) and declared: "We trimmed the fat, fried the bacon and milked the sacred cows." Nelson proclaimed that the 100 billion dollars that was trimmed “was a savings to the America people.” A savings, really? Mind you the 100 billion dollars (and more) has been returned to the package as of this writing (February 7). How can Nelson justify calling it a “savings,” when we are looking at a 1 trillion dollar, pork-filled package that is an insult to the American taxpayer?
1 trillion dollars??!!?? How much money is that really? You could spend 1 millions dollars a day from the day Jesus was born, and still have billions dollars left over! This is madness! This bill is filled with so much pork, we should pour some barbecue sauce on it, breakout the sweet tea, and enjoy the feast! It might be easier for the American people to swallow.
