WASHINGTON – The $800+ billion stimulus bill passed in the House with NO GOP support,is expected to go through the Senate today. GOP Senators are planning to vote NO on the bill,but those states’ GOP Governors are pushing their Senators to vote for it,just for the cash. GOP Senators have said that the bill has a lot of flaws. For example,only $7+ billion is needed for education,while the bill provides $11+ billion. GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) and top Republicans met with Pres. Obama. Obama hoped to get bi-partisan support for his bill,which does have too much government spending. According to the GOP,there is too much ‘pork’ in the bill,which 2008 Pres Candidate John McCain promised to cut out. But since the Democrats are the majority,it is expected to be passed,but the GOP insists on revising it first.
