Michael Devine of Examiner.com has an excellent piece up about the partisan Porkulus bill.
This bill is a clear and present danger to future American prosperity in both the short and long term. Our only hope to defeat it is unity against the core, permanent 30% growth in government provisions.
We must not aid and bet Obama and the Democrats in their 60-vote strategy to pick off a few Republicans for so-called “bi-partisan cover” with puny improvements.
The only way to accomplish this is to hold firm against the core of this bill and insist upon actual stimulus provisions. If we fail, then at least we will re-brand our party as the one that cares enough about economic suffering to propose proven result accomplishing stimuli, rather than signing on to proven failed liberal Democrat feel good do something crap whose only real accomplishment is to grow government.
Most of Obama’s voters signed on to his promise to create jobs in the provate sector they could get hired to do, rather than jobs they have to pay taxes to fund.
Also, Arkady at Indy Mind is tracking the advance of this ridiculous bill. Check for further updates.
Meanwhile, you can contact the three alleged-Republicans who seem poised to Judas the American taxpayers. A loud backlash from outraged citizens has been known to work wonders in a short period of time in the past.
