The Competitive Enterprise Institute is a libertarian think-tank based in Washington D.C. which often calculates the costs of certain Congressional spending bills. Clearly, they are alarmed over the $2 trillion stimulus/bailout package. Most of their email was uninteresting, but some interesting tidbits jumped out at me.

The most fierce fighting has been in South Carolina, where Governor Mark Sanford has been a leading opponent of the stimulus bill, and Representative Jim Clyburn has been a leading proponent of it. Mark Sanford has been claiming that he would reject the stimulus money alltogether, but he recently sent a letter to President Obama asking for permission to spend the money on State Debt, instead. Obama rejected this action because he claimed he did not have the authority to alter the statutes of the bill. All of that is fine and dandy, and I’ve no problem with either side of the exchange. But then Representative Jim Clyburn <A href="http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/sanford-accuses-clyburn-of-playing-race-card-2009-01-12.html">opened his trap</A>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/052270E5-69E9-448B-BA56-E169E50FDF83/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
