Senate Republicans Slam Obama Stimulus , CBS Evening News: Spending To Balloon At Federal Agencies; Bill Likely To Change - CBS News
Looks like now that folks have had a chance to actually see what is in the porkulus plan they are starting to withdraw their support, support numbers are down to around 50% and dropping:
More than half of Americans say Congress should make big changes to the stimulus package or reject it altogether. And Republicans sense a chink in the new president's armor.
ThankfullyAll sides now agree the President's stimulus bill won't survive in the form passed last week by House of Representatives (with only Democrats voting in favor).
Half the size - OKIt's a bout half the size of Mr. Obama's plan, much of which would be tax cuts and, they say, money that would address the mortgage crisis first.
Tax cuts - OK, but mostly tax cuts????
Address the mortgage crisis first? - IMHO there is $350 billion that needs to be used first before we agree to spend even more money on the banking/ mortgage issue. That might mean changes to what TARP money is allowed to be spent on.
