Pelosi Pushing For Blind House Vote On Porkulus

San Fran Nan wants her pork and she wants it now! Pelosi is pushing for an immediate vote in the House on Porkulus with the catch of it being a blind vote. No reviewing, no disclosure, no transparency.

Morrissey is highlighting the low points in the Democrats omnibus spending spree:

* $550 million for a federal fleet of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
* $300 million for even more plug-in or “efficient” vehicles
* $300 million for “smart appliances”
* $13.9 billion for the Clean Energy Finance Authority (a lending mechanism for green energy projects)
* $8 billion for “high-speed rail grants” to states, which apparently includes Reid’s Vegas project
* $21.44 billion for “environmental” issues, none of which appears to have job creation in mind, including:
** Lead Paint Abatement ($100 million)
** EPA State revolving funds ($6 billion)
** USDA water loans and grants ($1.38 billion)
** DOE environmental management ($6 billion)
* $15 billion to “increase and protect affordable housing“
* $7.2 billion for expanding broadband coverage
* $15 billion for new Pell Grant funding
* $44 billion for education block grants
* $4.6 billion for “early childhood” programs
* $1.1 billion for “comparative effectiveness research”

Remember, the issue here is: are these economy stimulators? No. If it’s not an economic stimulator it should be going through the normal routes of appropriations. But like Rahm Emanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste.

Fear mongering leads to Porkulus. Porkulus leads to debt. Debt leads to Democrats.
