Pork Plan Passes House

I’m proud of the House Republicans for opposing this boondoggle. 

The US House of Representatives has passed President Barack Obama’s $825bn (£576bn) economic stimulus package.

Passed by 244 votes to 188, no Republicans backed the plan, saying it was too expensive and would not work.

This spending smörgåsbord is going to go down as one of the worst fiascoes in American domestic history.  The Republicans have taken the first step to restoring their reputation.  It will be a long journey, but every journey starts with one step.
