Why should the Republicans vote for the stimulious package? Especially if they don't think it is one. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office), anaylisis is not encouraging about it's stimulating effect, in fact they think it may inhibit the recovery. It's a Congres Critters job to not vote for stupid bills, as much or more than to vote for good bills, (and by that logic Democrat's shouldn't vote for it either, but hey, it's their bill). At a cost of $120,000 for every $30,000 job produced it's a bad deal for the taxpayer. My suggestion, just pay everone you can identify who would have gotten one of those jobs $60,000 and let them spend it. It's a better deal for the taxpayer, and would provide more stimulious, produce more jobs, and probably get those spenders real jobs faster. The Republicans are finally doing their job and you think it will end their party? You might be right, but if so it's the end of the country anyway.
