1. Ok the latest Democrat liberal corruption.
   Obama stimulus porkulus program….
   $6 million dollars goes to Hillarys pollster to “save or create” 3 jobs.
   You gotta admit that takes onions.
   And the press will laugh it off.

2. @1:
   No one cared about the fact that we were paying cable companies to advertise about the digital transition switch. But since it involves Hillary, now everyone’s worried? Now it’s waste?

   So, Gene, when Sen Grassley got *$50 million* added to a bill in 2004 for an indoor rainforest project, I am *sure* that you ran out and declared that Omnibus bill more “GOP conservative corruption,” right? I mean, if 6 million to tell people their TVs won’t work anymore infuriates you, I am sure that 50 million for a freaking indoor zoo really made you angry, right? You must have posted about that porkulus, right? Did the press laugh that one off, too?

3. Back to the post: so we shouldn’t follow ideas that work, because they’re something you call liberal? I don’t remember Obama saying, “We’re going to change Washington by only pursuing policies that Republicans are ideologically comfortable with (when they’re not in power), even when the liberal ones work.” Maybe FOX news showed him saying that?

4. And just to finish off how silly theis blog post is: Obama’s ideas include small business tax cuts. Is that more “big-spending liberalism”? Or did you not the read the article you were posting about again?

6. And just to finish off how silly theis blog post is: Obama’s ideas include small business tax cuts. Is that more “big-spending liberalism”?

   No, it’s more dumbassery by those who actually believe more of his big spending promisses.

   Most of the rest of Mr. Obama’s proposals are unfortunately a grab-bag of greatest Congressional mis-hits. They include a “new” tax credit for small business hiring that looks suspiciously like Jimmy Carter’s jobs tax credit that led to few net new jobs and was abandoned after a year.

   There’s also a flood of new spending, with the amount presumably to come later from Congress (oh oh!), on highways and other public works. Perhaps you thought these “shovel-ready” projects had been included as part of Stimulus II. Alas, that was merely the sales pitch. In the event, the bulk of that money was shovel-readied to such transfer payments as Medicaid, welfare, community block grants, and cash for the clunkers who run failing public schools. This time, we’re told, roads and bridges really will get the money—and you can bet they’ll all be built with higher Davis-Bacon wage rates that will balloon their cost, too.

   How will this all be paid for? Well, there are the huge tax increases to come in 2011, if not earlier, as well as more federal borrowing. This time, however, Mr. Obama is also proposing to use funds repaid by banks to the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. When Congress passed TARP a year ago, the Democrats who ran the joint vowed that the cash was intended to save the financial system and that any returns would promptly go to pay down the debt. As Candidate Obama put it, “every penny” would go “directly back to the American people.” That was then.

   So we’ll have the “tax cuts” on one side and tax increases on the other. Sounds like “instant savings” when you buy a car, no?

8. Oh by the way, why isn’t the media screaming about bi partisian ship and why the cloak and dagger, dark room, Democrats are cobbling all this together behind closed doors. No effort what so ever to include the millions of people that voted against Obama and any Democrat. Just a finger in the eye. Nice hoax and change. Double check the unemployment numbers, probably more fiddling with numbers and “fudgefactors.”
