Opposition To Obama's Stimulus Plan Continues January 30. 2009
President Barack Obama President Barack Obama continues to run into opposition from Republicans regarding his $800 billion stimulus plan, largely due to certain items some Democratic senators are pushing for. I can see why they are concerned. I'm not taking sides, just being impartial. As mentioned previously here and here I believe Pelosi's $335,000,000 STD prevention plan is not in-keeping with the theme of job creation. Nor is the $70,000,000 Democrats want in the bill to prevent people from smoking. There are other questionable items in the package as well. You'll be squandering funds needed elsewhere.

The government has some tough decisions to make and if they choose the wrong options, things are going to get worse. If they act with integrity, thrift and common sense, there can be recovery.

And so anything Congress couldn't afford before -- $50 million to support the arts, $70 million to help people stop smoking -- has found its way into the stimulus now… |
