Sen. Feinsten Questions Stimulus: "I reserve the right at the end of the day to vote against a package that does put those jobs out there.”

Thank goodness this Congressional Radical Anti-American Pork (CRAAP) Act is imploding from within.

Let's hope Senator Feinstein and other Democrats see the error of their ways and start over. Although, we completely disgree with Ms. Feinstein on tax cuts, anyone speaking out against the CRAAP is okay by us!

From KTVU:


WASHINGTON -- Convinced tax cuts will not stimulate the nation’s economy, Sen. Dianne Feinstein spoke out Friday against President Barack Obama's economic recovery package.

“I’m going increasingly concerned about the bill as to whether it is really going to be a stimulus,” she told fellow Senators during a debate of the bill. Feinstein then roiled through a litany of California’s financial woes.

“I come from a state which has more people unemployed today than the population of over a dozen states,” she said. “A state where the bread lines are growing, Where the need for assistance is growing. Where the state has a huge deficit. Where counties are unable to fund their operating maintenance. Where all capital projects have stopped and where the state now furloughs employees.”

“I think as we dither, Rome burns.”

Feinstein said her issue with the bill is the tax cuts included. “What in my view a stimulus is, is not candidly speaking a tax package,” she said. “I do not believe in this economy tax cuts are simulative… I worry
about this economy. The point of this package is to get jobs out to the people. So I reserve the right at the end of the day to vote against a package that does put those jobs out there.” . While Feinstein spoke out against the package, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada was trying to rally support for it.
