Will bailout crimp Democrats' spending plans? (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27010330/)
Indeed, Obama made phone calls Wednesday and Thursday to several House Democrats, including freshmen members such as Rep. Masie Hirono, D-Hawaii, and Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Ohio, assuring them that, if elected, he will sign a new economic stimulus spending bill.
At Pelosi’s press briefing Thursday, she indicated that the $800 billion is expected to be offset, in part, by congressional action raising tax rates on higher-income people.
And if the bailout bill ends up costing the Treasury money, she said, “the financial services industry and those affected by this would have to make up that shortfall.”
So, we give them 700B to "save the economy, because Wall Street is Main Street" and ... they're gonna turn around and take it back, to save the economy again?
WTF is this stupid broad talking about?!
