George Stephanopoulos interviewed Nancy Pelosi on Sunday for ABC News about the stimulus package which is nothing but more money for special interests and pork barrel projects. One of the most bizarre aspects of the interview was Pelosi defending hundreds of millions of dollars for contraception claiming it was a cost reduction effort. The implication is that cildren are a tax burden to be discouraged and shunned. Stephanopoulos did not ask her how that would stimulate the economy and create more jobs, just, "So no apologies for that?"
"No apologies," replied Pelosi. Her pro-contraceptive, anti-child attituded puts her squarely, once again, against her Catholic faith and rooted in the culture of death. When will her local bishop and those in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area invoke Canon law 915 against this apostate Catholic who is such a scandal to the Church? Don't hold your breath.
What is especially ironic is that children are future taxpayers. Younger workers are absolutely essential to support an aging population. Where do liberal politicians think future taxpayers come from -- taxpayer trees?
According to The Heritage Foundation, section 5004 of the stimulus package, State Eligibility Option for Family Planning Services, makes Medicaid "a virtual money-machine for family planning clinics." The author states that, "No doubt these provisions are embodied in the economic stimulus package because their congressional sponsors believe that they would not be enacted if considered separately on their own merits." All this money for family planning services (and abortion is not restricted) will do nothing to stimulate the economy except Planned Parenthood's. It's just one more way for the abortion lobby to get its hands into the taxpayers pockets.
What are some of the other outlays?
-- $50 million for the notorious Endowment for the Arts famous for supporting blasphemous and pornographic "art."
-- $200 million to rehabilitate the national mall
-- $276 million to upgrade the computer system at the State Department
-- $650 million poured into repairs for National Forest Service facilities
-- $6.7 billion to improve energy efficiency at federal buildings (why not just close down a few agencies - like the department of energy that was formed in the Carter administration to bring us to energy independence)
-- etc., etc. ad nauseum
The only way to a good economy is to spend less and live within our means. Historically tax and spending cuts bring about more investment and a stronger economy. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, is an $825 billion spending package. With interest, it will cost taxpayers over a trillion dollars in the next ten years. Is it really fair to saddle our children and grandchildren with that kind of debt? It's nothing but the biggest pork barrel in history in the history of the country.
