Stimulus bill trimmed down!

The stimulus bill is trimmed down to $789! I feel less stimulated now… I guess you can’t have too little of a bad thing…or is that too much of a good thing!!!

Specter put his foot down and said nothing more then 790B or I am out! But make sure you keep the 10B in for NHI

Collins said time is of importance…but we must be responsibile

and our fearless leader, Obama is so proud because there are NO earmarks.

Serious question, if this In US politics an earmark is a congressional provision that directs approved funds to be spent on specific projects or that directs specific exemptions from taxes or mandated fees.(Pulled from Wikipedia) is the definition of “Earmark”…isn’t this entire bill an earmark?

Apparently “Earmark” is a lot like “Pork”. If your for it it’s stimulus and “not an earmark” if your against it it’s “pork” and an earmark.

Yes the entire thing is an earmark.

But it is a “earmark of change and hope”

like in, ‘let’s HOPE this works’? :wink:

And if it doesn’t were in for some REAL change.

OR: We are now up to our EARs in debt…

like in, ‘let’s HOPE this works’? :wink:
I think maybe he was saying “I sure HOPE these idiots will let us PORK them” :slight_smile:

not only will WE be in debt (and this isnt the end, when it doesnt work, they will be asking for more to make it work), but our kids, grandkids, great gandkids, great great grandkids,and so on…will be too…

OINK OINK OINK…PIGG POWER
