ARE YOU WONDERING ABOUT “PORKAPALOOZA”, AKA “THE STIMULUS BILL”?

It’s a terrible bill, in other words, both on its face and in the details. For the reasons I detailed HERE, it won’t stimulate the economy. It violates many of President Obama’s promises. Most of the deals that created it were made behind closed doors, meaning that there is virtually zero transparency and no real way to track where, how, or why money is being spent. On top of that, the bill is still packed with items that any vaguely impartial observer would call pork.

READ THE WHOLE THING…..and weep for our children and grandchildren, who will be paying for our lack of restraint for many decades.
