$150 million for honeybee insurance? Are you kidding me?

This bill has been all about party building for DEMs by Obama as a thanks for electing him. Clinton tried the same thing.

Hard core GOP nuts like me were willing to give Obama an opportunity to do what’s right for America, but he chose what is best for the DEM party first. He would have won GOP support with federal funds for real “shovel ready” projects, but less than 20% of the bill is even about infrastructure.

So many of the inclusions are about general bugetary items for established federal institutions and programs and should never have been part of a stimulus package to begin with. Considered singulary by GOP legislators, they may have been voted through as legit budget items. So why the anxiousness by DEMs to move through pork barrel spending that have nothing to do with stimulating our economy?

Obama and his DEM colleagues are not stupid and have to know this.
So whats it really about? Eleven DEMs voted against the Pelosi-Obama bill along with all GOP members of the House. Wouldn’t there have been at least one or two GOP pols who would have felt the Pelosi-Obama package would help the economy?

There are no other reasons except those that serve DEM pols and Obama personally.
