"I think there was some spending in the bill that was makeup for a starvation diet under the Bush Administration, some
important priorities of our party, frankly of the American people. And, the question is does it belong in the stimulus bill or does
it belong in the appropriations bill. I think some of the money that we cut in the compromise to get the votes that we have was in fact spending that
more appropriately should go in an appropriations bill."
Senator Claire McCaskillYep. Claire McCaskill admits that democrats are going to spend the $100 billion cut away in the senate for a compromise whether it is put back into this bill or another one. |

Even if it had been he still would have signed it.
