In today's Wall Street Journal, Democratic Senator and former Indiana Governor Evan Bayh decries the pork-laden omnibus bill now blowing through Congress.
Bayh's blunt assessment: "The bloated omnibus requires sacrifice from no one, least of all the government. It only exacerbates the problem and hastens the day of reckoning."

Steve Forbes Says 1933 is Coming Again - No Stimulus Package Blog
Steve Forbes weighs in today with a sobering assessment of the current financial crisis and our march back in time to the height of the Great Depression.
As Forbes says, a crisis must usually reach a moral tipping point, before the best answers are enacted. Let's hope we're there and let us elect folks in 2010 that will empower working families and our now frail economy.

Pork on the Heels of Porkulus - No Stimulus Package Blog
Fresh off the trillion dollar plus "stimulus" package which the Congressional Budget Office projects will actually result in a net job loss over the next decade, President Obama will again break a major campaign promise when he signs the pork-laden omnibus bill.
According to Obama's right-hand man Rahm Emmanuel, the President's promise to reject bills including pork is "last year's business."
Apparently also on the "last year's business" list is Obama's promise to allow Americans to view every bill online, before he signs it into law. He's broken that promise with the "stimulus" package, the Lilly Ledbetter act and SCHIP--the first bills to hit his desk!
