Candice Miller from Michigan: Michigan gets 7 billion in aid for the whole state, yet 8 billion goes to building a railroad for Harry Reid, from LA to Las Vegas. That’s pretty fair. Message to union workers, vote more Dems into office.
Peter Welch from Vermont, a Democrat, praised FDR for failed policies that kept the Great Depression going for 7 more years. Some folks should read the history books, and the not the tainted ones. Unless you count FDR for getting us into WWII, which is the only reason our economy was boosted. And we know the liberals don’t like war.
Steny Hoyer, Dem from Maryland: We don’t know if the plan will work, but lets pray it does. That makes sense, since by the time the whole thing was printed off, there were less than 24 hrs to read over 1,500 pages of document. That after the house was promised to have 48hrs to go over the document as a whole.
Lets improve the roads and bridges, a whole 7% goes to infrastructure. Less than 1% goes to small businesses who need it most. More money goes to the Arts than jobs in the first year.
The Dems voted yes to no jobs right away, but frivolous jobs for the greens right away. Which won’t take place for several years. In the meantime, there was pork for gambling trains, marsh mouses, and Frisbee parks.
John Dingell who continues to drink the party kool-aid while they cut him off at the knees. They have rendered this once good legislator a shell of his former self.
In Obama speak, give it up for Mike Rogers from Lansing, a conservative that knows the difference between manure and inner city spending.
Of all the spending in the bill, only 11% goes to the 2009 calendar year,while everything else goes to creating a new and bigger centralized government.
The Republican Whip states that small businesses are worried, while the feds allot money for a “green fleet”. He yields his time to Candice Miller of Michigan, who states that the Dems went from 11.5 billion for car incentives to 1.6 billion. In a vote to get it put back in, the Dems went over the top in voting it down. Hope the union membership is making note where their hard earned dollars are going.
Aaron Schock, R from Illinois on the Obama Caterpillar tour. He has had over 1,000 emails from Cat employees to obose the bill. While the Dems are proclaiming Obama the next Lincoln, he reminds folks what Lincoln himself said. “ What kills a skunk is the publicity it bring”. And brings his own quote to the forefront, ” Its not a do nothing mentality, its a do the right thing mentality.”
Another quote reference to the rush to pass the bill, “Bad processes lead to bad policies.”
Its a shame what took place today, in the guise of jobs, in reality it was all about agendas.
