Stimulus by another name

From somewhere on I-95 South.

It's tough to stay in touch while on the road. Latest news comes in dribs and drabs, but congrats to Jennifer Nassour for her election to the chair of the Mass GOP. You have some work to do, and we all wish you the best of success in the effort of jumpstarting the state party.

On the national front, it sounds as though the Republicans have circled the wagons in a stand off on the stimulus package. While the media has gone into terminal hyperbole over the economic woes, we can all agree that we are in a major correction. Now that we are all Keynesian's, the federal government is ready to throw megabucks at the economy to right the ship of state. Thing is, putting money in the Democrats hands is a dangerous exercise. Nancy Pelosi sees a major economic benefit in pouring big bucks into abortion programs, while the new president, reinforcing his goal of re-distributing the (your) wealth, wants to funnel the dough to the poor. Let's just hope that the GOP can keep stem the liberal surge.

Time to fill the tank and get back on the road. More later.
