Stimulus Plan not as advertised?

[Trish]

So the stimulus plan isn't being implemented as advertised???? Who would have thunk it?

...Lee Ohanian, an economics professor at UCLA who has extensively studied New Deal policies and depressions, told FOXNews.com that the spending patterns our study found "certainly don't fit what you would think that they would be from the standpoint of government spending as a social safety net.... The pattern does seem quite odd. It is certainly not the way the program was advertised."

Shocking!!!!
Hooooooo, Boy!

.........
I have to take this opportunity to tip my hat to you and your fellow Blue Dogs.
I knew when Pelosi ran right-leaning Dems in '06 to defeat vulnerable GOP incumbents in conservative districts that it had a good chance of biting her in the butt.
It is.
Even card check is now being challenged!

Congrats!
They are doing yeoman's work to keep this nation free.
It takes courage to buck the leadership of the House, especially one with the likes of Pelosi at the helm.
She plays for keeps.

It seems that they are actually doing more to represent their constituents, at great risk, than any other group in Congress.
Much respect.
