What Are We Thinking?

CONTACT INFO FOR WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS

OH, SILLY ME. WE'RE NOT THINKING. We're letting Barack, Nancy and Harry do the (insane) thinking for us. Again, this is not, NOT, a stimulus for the economy. It is a liberal domestic spending binge under the guise of a "bailout bill" which our super-liberal Congress and president want to ram down our throats without going through the normal legislative processes. In order to do this quickly (and they all know if it's not done quickly, much of it won't get done) they, especially Obama, are screaming that the sky is falling in order to scare us taxpayers to death and into acquiescing. We are being taken for fools. We should rise up and take decisive action and contact all our Senators and Congressmen. New stimulus watch site. (Also on my sidebar.) Our children and grandchildren will one day thank us.

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), issued the following statement tonight after the announcement of a compromise on the Senate stimulus bill.

"While I appreciate the efforts of my colleagues to bring down the price tag of this bill, the fact is we still face a trillion dollar spending bill. Making it worse, the bill is 93% spending and only 7% stimulation. Over the past few days I have fought to include more in the way of real stimulus through higher percentage of infrastructure and defense spending, while working to cut much of the typical government waste often found in a bill of this size. Yet Democrats have blocked these efforts.

"The good news tonight is that the American people are catching on to the fact that this is the largest spending bill in history and are becoming more and more vocal in their opposition. My offices in Oklahoma and Washington DC have been flooded with emails, phone calls and faxes overwhelmingly opposed to this trillion dollar legislation. They can rest assured that my vote remains an unwavering ‘no.'"
