Thank goodness that House Republicans voted no on this massive spending bill under the disguise of being an economic stimulus. 11 Democrats followed the 177 republicans in voting no even though the bill recieved passage. As conservatives, we cannot support a bill that is nothing more than a way to bypass the regular budget process. While I believe the American people do want action, they would like the correct action. As if nearly a trillion dollars in spending is not enough, liberals are already saying that more is needed. Government caused this problem we are in because of encouraging and demanding that lending institutions lend to those who were bad credit risks. Do we really believe that government will solve the problem through increased government spending? Only a solution that encourages investment will solve an economic downturn. Unfortunately, our conservative numbers are even less in the U.S. Senate and some republicans are concerned about opposing President Obama's stimulus package.
