Republican Muppet Doesn't Want To Be Stimulated

Mitch "Beaker" McConnell seems to not have a problem with giving out billions to banks that aren't too keen on telling us what they are doing with it. But, when it comes to other matters ( ie: infrastructure, health-care, or education ) McConnell tells the American people - in his own way - to fuck-off:

As of right now, Americans are left with more questions than answers about this unprecedented government spending, and I believe the taxpayers deserve to know a lot more about where it will be spent before we consider passing it.

According to the Washington Post, McConnell has also “called for a weeklong cooling off period between when the bill is drafted and when it is voted on, allowing time to dissect it for signs of ‘fraud and waste.’” Conservatives have the power to filibuster the legislation if they oppose it.

McConnell, however, had no problem quickly passing President Bush’s Wall Street bailout, even though that package had almost no oversight safeguards. In fact, as McClatchy reported, McConnell “led the battle” to pass the bill.

McConell also opposed Congress’s rescue package for auto workers, arguing that he couldn’t “ask the American taxpayer to subsidize failure” and using it as a political opportunity to bash unions.

What this all boils down to is that Republicans have no plan for stabalizing the country, so they do the only thing they know how to do - be against any and everything a Democrat is for.
