Big Kudoes (finally!) to the Republican Congressmen who voted "NO"... - Granite Grok

Big Kudoes (finally!) to the Republican Congressmen who voted “NO”…

On the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Generational Theft bill.  As one can seen here, this bill is nothing more than every Liberal’s earmark or voted down spending bill from the last 8 years going forward through the next 8. 

Even the non-partisan CBO has declared, along with LOTS of economists, that this is NOT a stimulus bill, that most of it is just plain spending that will not stimulate the economy with good, long term, private sector jobs.

Now, because of the good votes by the Republicans, Obama is going to own the results of this bill.  And if it passes, I predict the only benefit it will have is to pay back the well connected Democrat supporters and saddle our children and grandchildren with debt out the wazoo for decades to come.

Obama wanted political cover from the House Republicans – they didn’t fall for it.

Now, will the Senate Republicans follow suit?  I’m planning on calling my NH Republican Senators tomorrow – Judd Gregg and Jean Shaheen – and letting them know of my displeasure with this bill.

Think of it folks – right now, with interest payments, we’re talking pushing through a $1.2 Trillion bill at what is lightning speed – 1/3 of our annual Federal budget – with relatively little debate or discussion. 

This is not good.  I’ll put away the partisanship for a sec – IF it only contained real stimulus type stuff, I might be more optimistic.  But it isn’t.
