The ruckus over Nancy Pelosi\u2019s contraception funding stripped Tuesday night by the House Rules committee along with the $200 million to refurbish the National Mall is the tip of the iceberg. Despite President Obama\u2019s vow to prevent earmarks from bogging down the bill, the package is stuffed with goodies for every special interest group from left-wing fraudsters ACORN and other subprime shakedown activists $4 billion for \u201cneighborhood stabilization\u201d to Hollywood $246 million in new targeted tax breaks to universal health care promotion $600 million to dubious \u201cgreen job\u201d projects $24 billion. More fundamentally, there is no there there.<\/p>\n

On Monday night, the Congressional Budget Office sent out a full analysis of the House stimulus bill \u2014 elaborating on the partial number-crunching that were disseminated last week by Republican Hill sources. The new report elaborates on what the first one illuminated: the vaunted infrastructure spending will take years and years and years to kick in. Just 7 percent of the total $800 billion-plus stimulus funding would enter the economy by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, this is no “stimulus”.\u00a0 This is a pork barrel. $650 BILLION, with a B, to fund more of those “digital TV Converter Box” things.\u00a0 What?\u00a0\u00a0 2.4 Billion, with a B, for some kind of “Carbon-Capture Contest”.\u00a0 What? <-source<\/a>-><\/p>\n

Please do not be fooled. This is no “stimulus” package! This bill is 80% pork. It has been said that the money won’t be available until mid 2010, 2011.\u00a0 This will do nothing but saddle my children’s children with a huge national debt.<\/p>\n

Government is not the answer.\u00a0 The government is taking your money in the form of taxes, and essentially telling you they know how to spend your money better then you do.\u00a0 They don’t.\u00a0 Government is the reason we are in this mess.<\/p>\n

So what would help?\u00a0 What would stimulate the economy quickly? The fastest way out of a recession would be to cut taxes, across the board.\u00a0 Why would that work?\u00a0 Economics 101, you ready?\u00a0 It would keep the money in the hands of the people.<\/em> Seriously.\u00a0 Government types always fear that cutting tax mean they will have less money, but they are wrong!\u00a0 If you cut the income tax, I can keep more of my money.\u00a0 If I have more money, I can buy more things like, say, toys for my kids.\u00a0 If alot of us have more money, and buy more toys, then the toy company has an increase in demand. That means they will have to hire new people to make the toys so they can keep the supply up with the demand. More new hires mean more people paying taxes on their earnings.\u00a0 I’ve explained this before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please go to www.house.gov<\/a> and find your congressman and tell him\/her to vote no!\u00a0 Help us Melt the Phones<\/a>, and let your congressmen know where you stand!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
