Louisiana Senator David Vitter tells Newsmax TV how the economic stimulus plan is no good for the economy. He says there are too few tax cuts and some of the items listed as tax cuts aren’t cuts at all, but new spending programs. He also notes this is another attempt by Democrats to channel billions of dollars to ACORN, the group that actively supported Obama and other Democrats during the campaign.

The GOP caucus was unanimous in their opposition. WAY TO GO, HOUSE GOP!
Now if we can get the Senate to line up the same way, we can actually STOP this dreadful bill.

Good for them. Good things come to those who wait. I applaud them.
Now, they need to put pressure on the Senate to do likewise!
