					<description><![CDATA[When J.Maynard Keynes suggested the US spend to stimulate the economy and make the difference between supply and demand, he never thought about parties or pork barrel interests. It was just to jump start the engine. Lets hope, that this particular large amount of debt driven demand has a s little as possible, though we also know thats not quite possible. The best that can be said right now, is that party spending is what it is. The GOP has spent the past 8 years enriching the accounts of few based on the same concept of spending, but its disguised as war so more pork can be hidden. The Dems have there chance at plate and we can only hope some remember economics has ripple affects and that is where the majority of stimulus should be used to stimulate demand. If not, we are all in alot worse trouble than appears.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Christian, WPRI is a &quot;think tank&quot; in name only. It is funded by industry, and in my opinion that makes it a special interest group. 

And there&#039;s nothing wrong with that, as long as there is transparency in funding, but I&#039;d rather see your special interests be the taxpayers instead. Seeing the advocacy of Wisconsin Democracy Campaign and Common Cause, I&#039;ll support their issues over WPRI&#039;s any day.

That said, the Republicans are mostly correct that their is massive pork in the Dem&#039;s stimulus bill. Sort of like the Bush tax cuts and the Medicare drug program that will transfer $780 billion to the pharmaceutical industry.

But the R&#039;s absolutely deserve every bit that is in the bill because they have supported our very pay-to-play political system that brought the spending bill to the forefront.

Live with it, or fix it. Get rid of the conflicts of interest in the political system as you would if these same conflicts existed in your business.]]></description>
