DEMOCRATS BREAK LAW OF GRAVITY, PROPOSE TRICKLE-UP STIMULUS PACKAGE Senate Democrats yesterday forced their economic package through committee after filling it full of pork. Among the items in the $66 billion dollar plan are insurance premiums for the unemployed, tax rebate checks to "people who earned too little to qualify for the president's tax cut," (in other words, tax rebates for people who didn't pay taxes), a sugar beet disaster program, bonds to build a new tunnel under the Hudson River in NYC, and of course the all-important increase in federal purchases of bison meat. Tom Daschle of South Dakota noted that the bison industry is suffereing its worst year in decades and "it's just as much of a crisis as the airlines or as anybody else, if you're in that industry." Yes, Tom, but the bison industry isn't 6% of the national economy, and "anybody else" isn't getting a bailout. But wait a minute...don't they raise a lot of bison in South Dakota? Ted Turner is a big bison farmer. Maybe he needs the money. Look people, if you're an unemployed worker (is that an oxymoron?), which would you rather have; some small token amount of money, or a job? If you chose the latter, then the money needs to go to those entities that can provide jobs! And now ask yourself this. Do the Democrats really want the economy to improve before next November? washingtonpost.com

So, you must be very critical of (former Klansman) Democrat Senator Byrd who went on the airwaves a few days ago screaming for far more then the 40 billion dollars the President has earmarked.
