Stimulus Package

They had to tell George that when they said stimulus package they weren't talking about Jeff Ganon/Guckert's goods, or whatever his name was.

House leaders and the Bush administration reached agreement yesterday on a $150 billion economic stimulus package that would quickly send hundreds of dollars to poor and middle-class workers while offering businesses one-time incentives to invest in new equipment.

The deal, announced by House leaders and President Bush after arduous, late-night negotiations, was a work of difficult compromise, and the fight will continue in the Senate. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) acceded to Republican demands, jettisoning plans to extend unemployment benefits and food stamps for now but concluding that the issue could be revisited if the economy continues to slide.

"I can't say that I'm totally pleased with the package, but I do know that it will help stimulate the economy," Pelosi said. "And if it does not, then there will be more to come."

She knows it will, but if it doesn’t….Obviously she knows diddly squat.

Unless the Senate Democrats are a little more helpful than Ms. Pelosi, you unemployed folk can start looking for a park bench, and Mike Huckabee can give you his fried squirrel recipe.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
