John Shadegg: “They not only do nothing, but what they are demanding is pieces of this bill, large portions of it, their latest demand…”

On the recordNovember 29, 2001
They not only do nothing, but what they are demanding is pieces of this bill, large portions of it, their latest demand is that half of it not go to stimulus at all and the other half go to stuff that will not actually stimulate the economy. We do not need a stimulus bill that does not stimulate the economy.
