While Feinstein spoke out against the package, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada was trying to rally support for it.

“Clinton’s economic advisor Robert Rubin reminds us that increasing the deficit limits growth when government borrowing increases interest rates and crowds out productive private investment.

Please ask our Democratic Senators to listen to the Party’s wisdom on growth, and vote against the “Stimulus” bill. It will only impoverish our grandchildren with more debt and stifle growth, just like Robert Rubin said!”

We always thought that these meatheads couldn’t count, and now we know for sure.

My favorite part of the bill is the 88-million dollars for the Milwaukee Public Schools for new school construction - even though Milwaukee has 15 VACANT schools.

In the Boston State House, we used to call “rubbing butter on a fat pig’s ass.”

We owe Algore a great debt of gratitude. His “global warming” hoax convinced a lot of the ignorant not to trust politicians. Especially if they are using scare tactics on you.

Yes, the lines for the sourdough stretch around the corner. The Pumpernickle lines are shorter but don’t even try to get into the Chibata Bread lines. Those are for celebs only!

“I come from a state which has more people unemployed today than the population of over a dozen states,” she said. “A state where the bread lines are growing, Where the need for assistance is growing. Where the state has a huge deficit. Where counties are unable to fund their operating maintenance. Where all capital projects have stopped and where the state now furloughs employees.”

And this is everyone in the country's problem, why?

Yes, you come from a state that refuses to employ any fiscal discipline and yet somehow it is the nation's fault. At least by not stating the culpability of the voters and pols of California you are essentially saying it is not the state's fault.

Go suck on a lemon.

I think she’s using the “tax cuts” issue as a smokescreen

She knows this trillion dollar bill says OINK.

She also knows even if she goes ahead and votes to spend a trillion tax dollars on this porker, the job losses are going to continue and many people in california will be lined up outside her office with a handful of IOU’s and tar and feathers in a matter of months.

No, Dianne, when you dither the fire starts to die down. It’s only when Congress acts that you pour gasoline on it.

Let’s see... who employs people? Yes, government does... and? That’s right, private citizens and corporations. Good. Now, if they are tight on money, what do they do? Very good, they cut their expenses. What’s a really big expense? No... people. Now, what if we lowered their tax burden... would that make their condition better? Yes, it would. Then what would they do? No, you’re thinking of the government again... they would invest in their businesses. That involves capital spending and hiring. Does that sound a little bit stimulating to the economy?

Dianne, here ends the lesson.

Actually she’s right. Liberals undermined Roman self reliane. Made them soft. Collapsed the economy. Undermined national defense. When the barbarians arrive here, liberals will give them bjs.

Yep that’s bipartisanship. She won’t vote for it because it has provisions in there to get Republicans to vote for it.

I think we’re like Alice and have fallen down the Rabbit Hole.

Rome’s fate will be upon us if this bill passes.

And speaking of burning...don’t get me started.
