Today's the big House vote on Obama's economic stimulus plan that among other things "would shower the nation’s school districts, child care centers and university campuses with $150 billion in new federal spending, a vast two-year investment that would more than double the Department of Education’s current budget." (SAM DILLON, NYT)
$150 billion?
Doesn't Obama realize that we could run a war for months with that money? And he wants to blow it on children, health care, education, jobs and all that bad stuff.
The problem for the GOP is that these are precisely the priorities that the American people want, and if Congress passes legislation meeting these demands, the GOP truly will become a regional party.
So, the only path for a party for which power and politics preside over the public good is obstruction and lies. Watch for lots of both.
