Pelosi's Mouse Explained: What's Actually In The Stimulus Bill

They will grab and distort anything they can. Remember their hero, Rush "I'm a drug addict that is brave enough to compare a 13 year old girl to a dog on national TV" Limbaugh, is committed to destroying anything Obama supports.



Pelosi's Mouse Explained: What's Actually In The Stimulus Bill: "One simple answer: workers would be paid to restore wetlands, and the restored wetlands then have an economic benefit in terms of filtering water, slowing run-off and improving the health of fisheries.
On Thursday, Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) took to the House floor to make a different point: the money for the restoration isn't actually in the bill.
'There are no earmarks in this bill. There is no earmark for rats in San Francisco. There is money that goes to the EPA and the Department of the Interior for cleanup of wetlands and maintaining of wetlands and apparently this is on a list of ready-to-go projects but it, like many others, must compete within the departments for that money. It is not a specific earmark within the bill,' he said. 'That trivializes this bill.'"
