Lou’s Line-Item Veto: Polar Ice Breakers

Television
* Tonight we look into the stimulus bills proposed $88 million dollars for designing a new arctic icebreaker for the Coast Guard. This funding only covers the cost of designing a new icebreaker. Engineers say icebreakers take up to 10 years to build and cost up to $800 million dollars. Republicans argue that this is exactly the kind of project that shouldn’t be in the stimulus bill. We'll have all the details tonight in "Lou's Line-Item Veto."

Radio Lou’s nationally-syndicated talk radio show, The Lou Dobbs Show, in on the air every weekday. Join us for news and politics aimed at independent thinkers. Visit LouDobbsRadio.com to check your local listings or listen live online.

Joining Lou on Thursday’s broadcast will be the newly minted chairman of the Republican National committee, MICHAEL STEELE. He’ll discuss his ascension to his new post, as well as plans for the GOP’s future.

Democratic congresswoman CORRINE BROWN, who represents the Third District of Florida, talks to Lou about this nation’s mortgage crisis—and how we can fix it.

JOHN FUND, the author of Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy, offers his take on the latest developments in the still-unresolved Minnesota Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken.

And PETER MORICI, professor of international business at the University of Maryland, examines the stimulus package that’s being debated by the Senate and whether it can cure what’s ailing our economy.

As always, Lou will take your calls to discuss the issues that matter most to you—and to get your thoughts on the direction America is heading. Call him toll-free on the Independent Hotline at 877-55 DOBBS. (It’s the best bargain in broadcasting.)

This should be interesting. Perhaps now we'll see if he's going to pull a 'Gillbrand' on us.

Rush doesn't call it the "Porkulous Bill" for nothing. It is chock full of it.

You're right, perhaps they should just build a handful of ferry boats. Let's not forget, once the ice is gone the polar bear population will need a mode of transportation/fishing platform.

I heard there was $500,000 for Al Gore's bunch in the stimulus bill. It is supposedly to buy SNOW TIRES so they can get to their "global warming" conferences!

Does Al need new tires on his Hummer Limo?

Gore put all kinds of enviromental stuff on his house (solar panels, etc.) and his electric usage and bill went up 12%!

Yes, wasn't it Gore who had the $4,000 utility bill?
