I believe that's the number we are looking at when democrats throw around the term $819 Billion dollars. It looks so much more innocent written out in three numbers and two words, doesn't it?
It's an unfathomable number to anyone outside of government. This amount of money will bankrupt many future generations (including our current ones). It will likely grow to be more than $819 billion before the end of the year. It will cripple millions of people for many years to come.
It will not stimulate the economy. It will not create long-term jobs. It will create temporary work. It already includes outrageous amounts of pork. It is an abomination.
"Thank you" to the House Republicans and the 11 Democrats who had the guts to stand up and vote against this plan. I know it still passed, but at least 188 of our elected House officials had the courage to do the right thing. Keep it up and encourage your Senate buddies to do the same. Your political future (and theirs) hang in the balance. You do not answer to President Obama. You answer to we, the people of the United States. Listen to us and DO NOT BACK DOWN!!!

I fired off a message to my Republican Congressman last night, thanking him for holding the line and encouraging him to get his Senate colleagues to hold the line as well.
Here's praying the Senate GOP stands firm!
