Can’t Have it Both Ways Republican Party
Just a few hours ago, the House voted in favor of an $819 billion economic stimulus package. However, not even one Republican voted yes; so much for bipartisanship. As usual, they had their typical conservative reasons, such as too much pork barrel spending and the wastefulness of big government bureaucracies. Yet many of those who are currently expressing their objection to this bill demonstrated little hesitancy when they voted in favor of the bailout for the financial sector a few months back.
Some Republicans want to believe that it’s fine to give the largest banks a blank cheque for their greedy and risky investments, yet at the same time, condemn any plan that might help ordinary working Americans. This time around, they don’t have the fear mongering banks breathing down their necks, trying to dictate their decisions.
