Senators have reached a tentative deal on a version of President Obama's economic spending plan, just north of $800 billion in spending and tax cuts, that will win enough Republican votes to move forward. Yes it was reported last night 3 Republicans were convinced to sign-on to the bill; Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Susan Collins of Maine and Olympia Snow of Maine have agreed to vote for the plan.
The Good News – Ted Kennedy is still alive and was brought back to Washington in the event his vote is needed – hey Dems never mind the guy has brain cancer and suffered a seizure just two weeks ago.
The Bad News – This administration is going to spend over $800 billion in tax payer money on every kind pork-laden program out there. Just listen to the Congressional Budget Office -
“President Obama's economic recovery package will actually hurt the economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing”, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.
