#3 I can't stand Pelosi but I understand her point on this one. Condoms and bc pills are far less expensive than paying hospital delivery and maternity care, medicaid for the infants, WIC, food stamps and in the long term, the costs of raising a poor child, with extra tutoring and special ed, child care credits, and even the liklihood that single parented kids end up incarcerated. Check the stats.

#4 However, I don't see why this is in the stimulus package. I can't stand pork either.

#5 I think Obama will have more problems with Pelosi and Reid than he will with most of the Republicans.

He realizes he has to govern from the center to win reelection and he also knows the country can't finacially absorb a bunch of crazy crap pork and give aways that do nothing for the economy.

How come no one has come up with the idea of giving every family that's upside down on a house $200K? Without confiscating any equity gain over the next four years? That would do wonders for the economy, get people out buying stuff and it would clean up a lot of balance sheets at banks.
