PORKULUS II BILL




There will be a vote tomorrow on the second Stimulus bill. Talking points and targeted Congressmen to contact are listed below. Porkulus II: States Held Hostage

Why is Congress demanding governors and mayors fire teachers, cops, and firefighters before cutting ridiculous spending like this:

$120,000,000 spent on state-run liquor stores – Washington State

$39,608,662 spent on neighborhood & recreational services – Newark, New Jersey

$7,000,000 spent on museums – Oakland, California

$1,607,367 spent on awards and prizes at county fairs – Illinois

$1,000,000 spent on mural art – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

$750,000 spent on the opera house – Baltimore, Maryland

The Porkulus II:

Forces states to take bailout dollars, bypassing Governors who refuse the money, and forbidding them from making necessary budget cuts.

Gives teachers unions roughly $50 – $100 million through trickle-down.

Will increase the deficit by $12.6 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Will result in a permanent tax increase of $9.7 billion for U.S. multinational companies – increasing the cost of doing business and risking jobs during the recession. (Interestingly, the revenue from these same tax increases have already been spent…twice, in two other pieces of legislation!)

The fact is the federal government cannot afford to bailout states who refuse to cut back spending. In case Nancy Pelosi forgot, the American people still fund the federal government. If states can’t afford it, neither can the federal government. Bailing out states and extending failed stimulus programs only perpetuates states’ reliance on the federal government.






State Bailouts


This week Speaker Pelosi has called the House of Representatives back to Congress. The intent is to spend another $26.1 Billion. The House of Representatives will vote on 2 bills this week:

1. HR 1586, which was originally a House FAA bill and has now been replaced as a $26.1 billion bailout that includes $10 billion to teacher salaries and $16.1 billion for extension of Federal Medicaid matching rates.

Read additional commentary by Heritage on the bill here.
Read commentary from the Evergreen Foundation about the State Bailouts here.
2. The House will take up the privileged resolution that Congressman Tom Price has introduced to insure there is not a lame duck session of Congress unless there is an emergency. It is our understanding that since this is a privileged resolution it cannot be blocked from being voted.
