Not satisfied with the first stimulus, Nancy Pelosi is proposing more interventions:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is mulling recommendations from several economists that Congress act on an economic-recovery package that would cost taxpayers $300 billion, according to congressional aides, equivalent to about 2% of the country’s gross domestic product.
The California Democrat envisions a bill that would include new spending on highways and bridges, extended benefits to unemployed workers, aid to cash-strapped states and a tax cut, congressional aides said.
The state by and large attracts power mongers and political nymphomaniacs. It’s never enough!
