President Obama has been hearing out Republican leadership on the pending stimulus bill. You can read it yourself here.

As I said previously, I would give credit where credit is due. According to the news today, Obama pulled the 300 million in family planning funding out of the stimulus package for the simple reason that it was not stimulus. Which I would surmise, after hearing the Nancy Pelosi interview, is bound to piss off Nancy Pelosi.
Bravo
Pelosi does bring out good point thou--if they don't get pregnant then we don't have to pay for kids that are post likely end up on welfare. It is not a stimulus but an investment into future savings. LOL!! I would love to over here the Obama/Pelosi on that subject. It would probably send me away laughing!!! Redneck Ron
Lost in all of this is the fact that it is not the government's role to take care of people:
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
— James Madison
OMG... I got about halfway through this 647 page monstrosity before I had to stop, or gouge my eyes out. Reads like a second federal budget.
All I can say is its a real big pie and everybody's got a piece of it. Whew!!!!
By my figuring maybe half of it could be considered stimulus... or they are operating on the concept that any expenditure IS stimulus.
Soo-Eeeeh! Pork pork pork pork.
