So in the end, not one Republican voted in support of the stimulus plan in the House. Looks like Rush Limbaugh successfully intimidated the Republicans from exhibiting even a scintilla of bipartisanship on this one...(ie Phil Gringrey)

lol,, i don't think rush limbo intimidated anybody...lol:rofl2:
Perhaps you missed Gringrey's mea culpa, when he bows down to Limbaugh over an earlier statement he made. Reminded me of a scene from The Godfather.Quote:

Well, it looks like more than just Republicans have questions about this stimulus bill.

Just another rip off on the taxpayer.

He said all these bailouts and stimulus packages would just prolong things and cause serious inflation down the road. It sort of made sense to me because I lived through the inflation of the 70's and early 80's and that was caused by government spending money it didn't have. The same thing is happening now. So, to me, those that are offering "answers" in the way of "stimulus" disguised as pork are really offering more problems, not answers.
