A little over a month ago, the White House and Congress were locked in a prolonged dispute over the omnibus appropriations bill, with President Bush calling Congressional Democrats as fiscally irresponsible for insisting on about $11 billion more in appropriations than the President favored. That was December. This is January. President Bush is now considering an economic stimulus package that runs to more than $100 billion! It makes you wonder.
WHAT IF THEY USED ONE BILLION OF THAT FOR SSA ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDING TO CLEAR THE HEARINGS BACKLOG, THUS PUMPING ADDITIONAL LEGITIMATE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO THE ECONOMY, AND RESULTING IN MEDICAL COVERAGE FOR MANY ADDITIONAL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, PLUS STOPPING ADDITIONAL HOME FORESCLOSURES, ETC.
