Spurs

The Democrats want a stimulus bill that is $800 billion, of which half is pure pork. Republicans proposed a stimulus bill of $400 billion that includes all the stimulus, but none of the pork. And that reminds me of the James Caan western where, when asked why he only wore one spur, Caan said, "Well, I've learned that if you get one half of the horse moving, the other half will follow."

If we stimulate the economy without unnecessary abuse, things will get better and then we can deal with any other pork issues without having to worry that it will just drive us deeper into a debt that may do irreparable harm to our society. Get the economy working. All else will follow.

'Nuff said.
