Snowe: Obama Agrees To "Scrub" Economic Plan

Sen. Olympia Snowe said that President Obama has agreed to re-evaluate spending measures in the economic recovery plan, to "scrub" from it items that may not have an immediate stimulative impact.

The moderate Republican said that of $366 billion in discretionary spending contained in the bill, only 12 percent would be spent within a year - and that 12 percent is giving the president "100 percent heartburn." Snowe, one of the "Gang of 14" who is now part of a group of centrist lawmakers who met with Obama at the White House this afternoon, told reporters afterward that he agreed to a process in which a bipartisan group would more closely vet the overall bill.

"He said he understands that it needs to be scrubbed," she said. "He's prepared to be receptive to the ideas and to reevaluating some of the spending measures that were included that are raising questions about whether they are stimulative."

Fox & Friends was just noting that the size of Porkzilla just grew to $925 billion.  Don't see how it got "scrubbed," except with raw sewage.

I know, Blue, it's so hard to know what the hell is going on, and it's driving me crazy! 
Olympia Snowe, the original RINO.  I don't even know why she bothers putting the R behind her name, since Mainers always want a D for all the free gubmint checks.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
