Here's a Repulican solution to budget problems. The Republican Mayor of New York City has cut the number of agencies providing Meals On Wheels to the elderly throught out the 5 boroughs from 30 to 6!! The result...elderly people going without meals. There was an blind, hard of hearing elderly woman in the borough of Queens who went without a meal delivery for two days.
The New York City Commissioner on Aging, has stated:
They realize now the cuts may have been too severe and are working on a solution.

the thing is, we are not pro abortion, we are pro choice, abortion should be the very last choice, let's be pro information and pro birth control

i need someone to explain something to me, why is it the republicians are always lamenting about huge spending by democrats?? didn't obama just inherit a HUGE deficit and weren't the republicians in charge for the last 8 years? i don't think george w inherited those numbers after clinton did he?

During a February 3 interview with Sen. John McCain on Fox News' Hannity, host Sean Hannity claimed that Mark McKinnon, chief media adviser to former President Bush and a former McCain chief media strategist, is "a pollster for the Democrats." Hannity continued: "[H]e's saying, and these are his words, 'This [economic recovery] bill is like a rotting corpse. Every day this thing sits in the sunlight, it starts to stink more.' " Neither Hannity nor McCain, who said he "agree[d]" with McKinnon, noted that McKinnon was a senior McCain aide during McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, through May 2008. During the February 4 edition of his program, Hannity similarly claimed that McKinnon is a "Democratic pollster" and on February 5, claimed that McKinnon is a "Democratic strategist," in both cases citing McKinnon's "rotting corpse" remark. In addition to his senior roles with Bush and the McCain campaign, McKinnon said in November 2008, "I consider myself a moderate Republican." Fox News itself has previously identified McKinnon as a former aide to Bush and McCain and a "Republican strategist."

In his February 6 Washington Post column, Charles Krauthammer asserted that the economic recovery legislation supported by President Obama contains "hundreds of billions that have nothing to do with stimulus, that Congress's own budget office says won't be spent until 2011 and beyond," echoing myths about the legislation often repeated by media figures and conservatives. But economists, including Congressional Budget Office (CBO) director Douglas Elmendorf, have stated that all of the government spending in the recovery package "provides some stimulative effect." Elmendorf has also stated that fiscal stimulus in 2011 or later would be effective in the current economic situation, in which economic output is projected to remain below its potential even after the beginning of the recovery.

Contrary to Krauthammer's assertion, in his January 27 congressional testimony, Elmendorf explicitly refuted the suggestion that some of the spending provisions in the bill would not have a stimulative effect, stating: "[I]n our estimation -- and I think the estimation of most economists -- all of the increase in government spending and all of the reduction in tax revenue provides some stimulative effect. People are put to work, receive income, spend that on something else. That puts somebody else to work." Additionally, Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, has stated, "[S]pending is stimulus. Any spending will generate jobs. It is that simple."
