The house approved the "stimulus " bill yesterday. I say "stimulus" because I don't believe they are working in the best interests of stimulating the economy. Take a read of this blog. I could rewrite it....but why, this blogger on the Wall Street Journal wrote what I was going to research and write about WSJ Blog
The blog points out all of the crazy stuffers that are in this bill.
A few notes on this issue:
Way to Go Todd Akin. He is my House rep. He is one of the 177 republicans that voted NO on this bill. If you do not know you're house rep...you should. I will be emailing Todd this morning.
The vote was 244-188 with 11 democrats siding with the entire population of the republican house to "just say no".
The Senate will be reviewing and voting the bill by February 13th. Let's wait a day and have another Valentines Day Massacre! If you are weary of this bill, email your senators.
I do believe the economy needs stimulus. But let's not pass another lousy bill....ie TARP. Ask your senator to cut out their pork and non stimulus items....those items that have nothing to do with growing the economy and truly fix the issue.
Unforetunately it won't happen...they are politicians and only worry about there own power base.
