How does this help the economy?

Okay if we are going to pass a bill that spends much of what Bush spent in years in Obamas first month in office for a JOB stimulus package, shouldnt it create jobs?

I understand some of this but I have no idea how giving birth control helps the economy. Money to art? How does that help the economy and create jobs?



NOW $335,000,000 on S.T.D. prevention :shock: Whether any of these plans are good or not they do not create jobs. They wonder why the republicans did not vote for this...... All the trashing of BUsh spending and he comes out his first month and wants to spend more then the whole bail out package............ Create jobs, cut taxes, do things with the money to help the economy Not liberal agendas mixed in that has nothing to do with the economy at all.



The two sides of Capitol Hill appear to be engaging in a bidding war to see who can put more money toward the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases in its version of the economic stimulus bill.


When the Drudge Report noted the House funds Wednesday morning, it set off a round of criticism from Republicans who said the money made no sense in a $819 billion bill designed to get the economy back on track.

Its all about votes...Our representatives can come back home and say, "I got $XXXXX amount for our district/state. I applaud the GOP for voting no, as the president said, "I won in November" so he doesn't need their votes any way. What's the big deal?

They also won are they wouldn't be there. The president isn't the only monkey in the house ( nothing is meant by monkey except that they are all acting like a bunch of monkeys up there).

Nice save! :D

Apparently Nancy Pelosi let the cat out of the bag. I guess its economic stimulus because, while it doesn't create jobs, it does eliminate job seekers, thereby decreasing the rate of unemployment. It also eliminates people that might otherwise be a burden to our great society... See Pelosi's comments at http://www.drudgereport.com/flashpbc.htm and at U.S. News and World Report

At any rate, it appears Obama has aborted the contraceptive portion of the bill. MSNBC reports 'CONTRACEPTIVES' PROVISION OUT OF STIMULUS
