WASHINGTON — The House approved a $787 billion economic stimulus package Friday afternoon, with Democrats successfully promoting it as a boost for middle-class Americans and Republicans countering in vain that it will only stimulate wasteful government spending.
The vote was 246 to 183, reflecting the Democrats’ considerable majority in the House and the Republicans’ deep dissatisfaction with the measure, whose estimated price tag has fluctuated daily and was finally placed at $787 billion on Friday. Not a single Republican voted in favor of the bill.
The Senate was expected to vote on the final legislation Friday evening, clearing the way for the paperwork to go to President Obama, who is eager to sign the measure.
"After all the debate, this legislation can be summed up in one word: Jobs," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said. "The American people need action and they need action now."
But Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the House minority leader, lamented that a bill that was supposed to be about “jobs, jobs, jobsâ€

The fact that this bill could pass the House without a single Republican vote in favor is disturbing to say the least! Now the bill moves on to the Senate. Is the bill going to be amended in the Senate to include E-Verify!!!

We are witnessing some very sad times in our nation as our lawmakers have turned against their duty and responsibility to protect us and to serve the best interest of its citizens.
1,000 PAGES, hard to imagine, billions of dollars, even harder to imagine - the plan for socialism and for the destruction of a sovereign and free United States has begun to go forward.

HOW THEY VOTED

The Senate vote is said to occur around the 5 o'clock hour according to Senator Reid. There is no way that 1,000 pages could be combed through in these few hours, and even when the glaring problems come to light, the vote will have occurred.
Fast track to socialism.
