That Democrat Stimulus Package?

Twelve cents on the dollar go to actual economy "stimulation." The rest - 88% - is pork and allotted - as Ed Morrisey aptly puts it - for "Democrat wish lists for electoral advantage."

This is a political wonder that manages to spend money on just about every pent-up Democratic proposal of the last 40 years.

You gotta hand it to the guy. Obama has been President for less than ten days and, like a true blue Deomcrat, he's not only chomping at the bit to spend every last cent of ourhard earned cash, but our chidlren's and children's children as well.

This "stimulus" package that will do very little, if anything at all to help our current economic crisis, is the equivalent of borrowing $10,520 for each American household.

Absolutely, irresponsibly disgusting.

It was wrong when the Republicans did it and it's wrong now. My level of disgust is so high it cannot be quantified.

George Will, Christopher Buckley et al, are you satisfied now?
