I wonder why this hasn't hit some of the news channels. I know that I
have not seen this before.

If the Republicans hadn't gutted money for the states from the House
version of the stimulus bill, the 10th Amendment issue would die in a
hurry.

Don't be surprised to see those funds restored to the conferenced version
of the bill Ed.
What I don't understand is why the bill doesn't contain payroll tax
abatement provisions. That could be accomplished with the stroke of a pen
and would be as quick a stimulous as you could get. Republicans would have
been hoist on their own petard, and they'd have been falling all over
themselves to get behind the bill.

Oh, you underestimate their creativity. I'm sure they'd find something to
bitch about no matter what was or was not in the bill.

To them, this is about trying to score political points, not about helping
the country to recover. If you listen to Limbaugh, that's exactly what the
hard-core wants: failure.

And I'm thoroughly disgusted with McCain's grandstanding and sleazy
manuevering. He had it right the first time, when he said that his
understanding of economics is not one of his strong points.
