Wonders never cease! Fox News reports that Harry Reid slammed the door on the idea of another stimulus package. I’m not one to praise Harry Reid, but if he can stop the passage of Porkulus 2 we can all cheer.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday slammed the door on the idea of a second economic stimulus plan, even as President Obama suggested he’s leaving the option on the table.
The Nevada senator said Americans are only just beginning to realize the benefits of the Obama administration’s first stimulus bill, which passed in mid-February, and he stressed that only 10 percent of the $787 billion package has made it to the states.
“A little less than 90 percent still needs to be put out to the American people, and we’re in the process of doing that. It’s going to move more quickly now. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no showing to me that another stimulus is needed,” Reid said emphatically.
Obama, though, has not demonstrated the same certainty that another stimulus will not be needed, as the unemployment rate hovers close to 10 percent.
In an interview with FOX News on Tuesday in Moscow, Obama defended February’s stimulus package, saying he knew the scope of the economic crisis would make recovery difficult no matter what.
Harry Reid is like a stopped clock – wrong most of the time. Barack Obama is like a slow clock – always wrong.
Reid must also answer to the voters in Arizona. Since the last Porkulus isn’t working out so well for his state Porkulus 2 will be a hard sell.
Can’t help wondering what he’s up to.

To stop at the 1st Porkulus is a no-brainer.
All those yahoos in DC qualify.
