[i] Bipartisan deal reached to cut $107B from stimulus package [/i]
Would that the Senate would cut much more than that.
The House version was $819 billion, then it goes up to $920 billion in the Senate, and now cutting $107 billion is a cut?
Not nearly enough. Squeeze ’em harder. This abortion needs to be tiny if it lives at all!

Senator DeMint’s amendment would have eliminated a provision that bans any university or college receiving funds to renovate buildings, from allowing “sectarian instruction”.
This provision would also prevent college buildings funded or renovated from being used by evangelical groups like Campus Crusade for Christ etc. This bill is the lefts dream and little about jobs. DeMint’s provision was killed!
I agree, Irenaeus #1. This is not nearly enough.
They should scrap this one entirely. It’s too flawed to save. The House should start over with an honest stimulus bill which is actual stimulus and not pork and massive policy changes being pushed through under cover of emergency. It may be that pork and policy changes will pass anyhow, given election results, but it should be done intentionally, with due legislative process, and in the open.
So either $700B instead of $800B. Or $800B instead of $900B.
Yeeha.
