This is a bunch of horse manure.
A big steaming pile, in fact.
Wasteful spending and pork are still wasteful spending and pork when someone with an "R" after his name does it.
So it's better that the Left gets to spend money, showing people that THEY can get what the people want, rather than using that as a weapon against them--using money so people can see the truth of the Conservative message...
Let the Left continue to use this tool and see what happens to the Conservative voice in Washington--we will be replaced. But, if we use it against the Left, we step in, in their stead, and use this tool, then people will recognize the truth of the Conservative message. It won't be a perpetual spending spree, just long enough to defeat the idea that gov't handouts are the only option. Just watch--once people have their lives back, and things are rebuilt according to the Conservative idea (since Bush and a Repub congress are in charge, largely), people will see that the gov't can provide temporary help, but the only real "fix" comes from the individual--then, buh-bye Leftist ideals...
