Peter Kirsanow at National Review Online:
So . . . we're going to have a tax cheat in charge of the IRS, a man instrumental in the pardoning of terrorists as top terrorism watchdog, and a woman whose husband gets tens of millions from foreign governments in charge of implementing foreign policy.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) yesterday told Politico: “Yes, we wrote the bill. Yes, we won the election.” The House bill perfectly demonstrates how the left is using the economic stimulus bill as cover to accomplish its long-held desire to permanently increase the size of the federal government, with little or no benefit to the American taxpayer.
Today’s top six disastrous highlights..
After reading that, check out Connie Hair's article at Human Events:
The Democrat “stimulus” bill -- a bill that was created behind closed doors by Democrat leadership who usurped the normal committee process -- reaches nearly a trillion dollars in spending, and the non-partisan analysts cannot guarantee that this $825 billion in proposed legislation would create one single job.
The Democrats are going to end up turning this recession into a depression, just wait and see. If they don't manage it, it will be a miracle. What remains unclear, at least for now, is whether or not they are doing it intentionally. I guess we'll soon see since Obama is meeting with the Republicans today.
Will the Republicans be silly enough to vote for this monstrosity and give the Democrats the political cover they desparately seek? Probably.
