Bring on the pork ...
Republicans release a list of pork in the "stimulus" bill. Take a look and tell me if you think any of these are legit:

Are you being facetious, Tex? A lot of those look like pretty legitimate expenses. I mean, people need sewers and waste disposal, and stuff.

Or perhaps you'd like to make the case for how $125m for Washington sewers stimulates the economy.

My complaint is, it's couched as an economic stimulus package, i.e., creating jobs and infusing capital and liquidity into the market to create other jobs, yet instead his package includes mostly Democratic wish list spending. perhaps you agree with the spending but it's not about stimulating the economy is a dollarwise fashion.

At least half the stimulus ought to go towards medical research. Just my opinion.
