Taxpayers invited to Pelosi-Reid barbecue

Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse [by Paul Kelly/Environmental Protection Agency website](Washington, D.C.)—Taxpayers can now make plans for the biggest barbecue in American history as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) prepare a bonfire that will be fueled by billions of dollar bills. President Barack Obama is acting as unofficial emcee, stumping the country to sell the Democratic Congress plan that guarantees the sky will not fall. An added bonus, even if the sky does fall, is that the air will be cleaner despite all those dollar bills burning, because Democrats are eager to limit carbon emissions and create the next economic bubble for the country—alternative energy and Cap and Trade. Welcome to the most liberal ideology of all time. I would say ‘I told you so’ but you already know that if you read this column on a regular basis.
The Pelosi-Reid contingent says the ‘stimulus’ bill must be passed immediately, and supporters imply anyone who doesn’t support it is a dirty (conservative) dog. I hereby apologize to my trusty hound and constant companion for usurping his species to make a political point. So who are some beneficiaries of this bill?
