On the recordFebruary 13, 2009
I rise to oppose this non-stimulus package because it is selfish and irresponsible. It is selfish--because it will burden future generations for years to come with unbelievable debt; trillions of dollars stolen from our children and grandchildren. It is irresponsible--because it won't work! It will not stimulate the economy. It will not create jobs. It has been shown to be misguided by over 300 prominent economists, including three Nobel Prize winners. In addition, the process has been an affront to all Americans. Less than 15 hours to read a bill over 1000 pages in length. Less than 2 hours of debate on the floor of the House on the most expensive spending bill in the history of mankind! This is simply wrong.
