4/8 I suggest people calling their respective Republican Senators
and complain about the filibuster tactics they used to kill
Clinton's stimulus package. Essentially, what they are saying
is: "We know you are out of a job, but we are saving you
millions!"
\_ I suggest you try looking at the package before you whine.
It's actually full of swimming pools, unemployment benefits,
and projects for Puerto Rico. Stuff that will not help the
majority of the US people get jobs. Besides that, it's way
inefficient. $900,000/job is the cost. It is very, very
fortunate that the Republicans had enough votes to prevent
a vote. Now, a compromise will be forced, which might just
provide a bill that will not destroy the economy and drop us
back into a recession. [By the way, California doesn't have
any Republican Senators to call] |
