If we must do something truly stupid, such as take on huge debt called "stimulus", then at least let us be minimal about it.
After a one-day skirmish, Obama has discarded the $200 million for "Family Planning" from the "stimulus" package.
He hopes that he can get some Republican support after sacrificing this ill-considered 0.024% of the total.
That's right, it was only about 0.024% of the total Stimulus being contemplated.
Let us remind our Republicans of this math and let us not provide a single vote of support until every line of the document has been scoured for similar types of political payback and democrat patronage. I want to see and hear about another thousand stories like the "family planning" one.
