I hate to keep parroting Rush Limbaugh (actually, I don’t), but he had the perfect description of the stimulus plan: money laundering.

We know what President Obama said:
He told reporters at his transition office that his package will set a “new higher standard of accountability, transparency and oversight. We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert projects without review.”
Paraphrasing our national creed, the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted among men to guarantee the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Where does it say anything about digital TV coupons?
