Rich, the same way that animal sacrifice during a solar eclipse ensures that the sun returns from behind the moon.

What I would *really* like to see would be Obama getting together with Congressional GOP and Blue Dog Democrats to craft a genuine stimulus-only Bill – and then see Obama use the Presidential bully-pulpit to end-run around Pelosi/Reid to get it into law … I would love to see Obama successfully end the Pelosi/Reid Recession … Sadly, all I see, so far, is Obama proposing to accelerate the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Recession …

What’s Schumer’s email address? We should all send him an email with the subject line “I care about pork spending”.

He could receive a million such cards, and he wouldn’t give a damn.

The pols and public officials get hundreds of billions to spend. Workers get $13 a week. Yes, $13 a week. That may pay the cigarette tax increase for smokers. I don’t know what non-smokers will do with all that dough.

I’m sure this question has been asked a gazillion times, but what I’m wondering is how, exactly, will jobs be created by these provisions? All I hear is assumption…they assert it will create jobs, but I haven’t heard an explanation how. Shouldn’t that be the bottom line of the different provisions in the bill? For the sake of conversation, assume that all the earmarks would go to good things (I know, I know, just assume that *for the sake of conversation*)…even if we grant that HUGE assumption, this is a *stimulus* bill. If it doesn’t create jobs, save it for another bill.

Has anyone heard an argument out there spelling it out? Or does the emperor have no clothes, and certain folks are trying to hush that up?
