re: #177 avanti

I’m watching the White House press briefting and they are claiming it’s only a 7/100’s of one percent of the money in the bill that’s getting all the negative comments. The Dems should pull the 50 million for the arts, the money for STD and the like and put more in infrastructure and direct job creation and get that crap off the table. There are bigger issues the GOP will have to address to get a bill they’ll support then those.
BTW, they are finally taking tough questions from Fox at every conference.

If an item in the bill doesn’t simulate public sector jobs, it should be put on the back burner. Otherwise, this bill becomes nothing more than a job fair for the federal government.

I’m not saying there isn’t some federal items that don’t need addressing, but most of this is pork.

Like I said before, the problem is most of the pork will benefit republicans and democrats. So, it won’t get smaller, wanna bet?
