Apparently people have caught on:
Senate Democratic leaders conceded yesterday that they do not have the votes to pass the stimulus bill as currently written and said that to gain bipartisan support, they will seek to cut provisions that would not provide an immediate boost to the economy.
The legislation represents the first major test for President Obama and an expanded Democratic Congress, both of which have made economic recovery the cornerstone of their new political mandate. The stimulus package has now tripled from its post-election estimate of about $300 billion, and in recent days lawmakers in both parties have grown wary of the swelling cost.
This has been a spending fraud from the get-go. Shine the light of truth on Porkulus -- Now that the scrutiny is ramping up from the outside it’s harder and harder for the Democrats in the Senate to support this bill. The bubble that PRAVDA carried Obama around in has been pierced.
