Democrats' Stimulus Plan May Reach $700 Billion
Spending Package Would Rival Financial System Bailout

By Lori Montgomery
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 24, 2008; A01

Facing an increasingly ominous economic outlook, President-elect Barack Obama and other Democrats are rapidly ratcheting up plans for a massive fiscal stimulus program that could total as much as $700 billion over the next two years.

That amount, more than the nation has spent over the past six years in Iraq, would rival the sum Congress committed last month to rescuing the country's financial system. It would also be one of the biggest public spending programs aimed at jolting the economy since President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.

My Cousin, Rahm Emanuel

So, I receive this e-mail from my brother Dan around a week ago - it is a half-text message, half-e-mail, you know what I mean, right? Now, this is before the election:

Well, so he's my cousin. Just sayin'. He is my distant cousin on my late Mother's side of the family, and he is a first cousin of the infamous Howard Stern (ICK.) He is also the prototype for Josh Lyman (sic) on the "West Wing", I think, and a lot of the character in "Entourage" (Jeremy Piven) is based on Rahm Israel Emanuel's brother Ari. What the (bleep!) do I know? I used to work indirectly (sic) for Jack Abramoff,* so I cross whatever party line I can -- a gal has to earn a buck. Me, pit bulls, "rahmbo". It is in the blood. And it is all good.

((((So, any chance I can go to the inauguration....work in PA? hmmmmmmm? Perhaps I will call my Auntie Saralee and ask HER.))))
