“we've heard a lot this week about what the Democrats' $825 billion stimulus package should do or may do or what Democrats hope it will do. Let's look at what it really will do: It will bill every American household with a $6,700 tab. That's the cost of the Democrats' plan for every American family. Put another way, it will cost every American--every man, woman and child in this country--$2,700. The cost of this bill is almost as much as the amount the Federal Government spends every year in discretionary spending. The bill will spend millions of dollars in digital TV coupons. The bill will spend $200 million to plant grass on the National Mall. And the bill will ensure our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will encounter not necessarily a great economy, but an enormous national debt. This is totally irresponsible and should not be allowed to pass.”
