Stimulus Passes the House

Not surprisingly the stimulus bill passed the House by a vote of 244 - 188. NO Republicans voted for the bill, while 11 Democrats voted against it.

Now it's on to the Senate, where the bill will get more pork, more pages, and we will get more debt, more government, and more wasteful spending by our elected officials.

Pres. Obama held a cocktail party after the vote and invited Dem and Rep leaders. They served drinks and wagyu (kind of like Kobe... yeah, almost as expensive) steak appetizers. I'm not sure what that is all about.
