The reason that so many republicans voted against the stimulus package is because of the insane amount of pork attached to it. I believe Limbaugh calls it the "Porkulus Package." I was just wondering if the CHIA got attached because that is something that affects me immensely.

Does anyone know if there was some attachment somewhere that would stop the Mint from printing more money.....Logically, you would think that would be included somewhere to help stop inflation...

Don't need something in the bill to stop the Mint from printing money, that's the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's domain. ;)

I'm sure they're saying "well, where else would it come from?" given the fact that we can't get a loan from just about any country!
