Well I would not ordinarily comment on a vote for a compromise bill between the house and senate but the pork bill aka stimulus bill is an exception. The text for this bill was released Thursday between 11:00 and 12:00 P.M. The vote was set for 12:00 Friday, and with 600 plus pages there is no way for a congressman to read and comprehend all he is voting for. To vote for a bill that you do not know what is in it is irresponsible and a betrayal of the voters of District 4. So let me tell you what he voted for, bill cost $787 billion dollars of that $584 billion adds to the deficit by 2010, election year. DAVID VOTED YES ON THIS BILL. Obviuously David is more concerned about how Nancy Pelosi views him than what the voters think back home. Then he comes home to try and sell this as the creator of all these jobs and all the wonderful things it will do. Almost every democratic congressman voted for a bill that they had no idea what was in it, they should all be voted out of office for not doing the job they were sent to Washington to do. Hats off to Heath Shuler, a democrat that recognized the bill as a pile of pork and voted against it.

H.R. 448 the Elderly Abuse Victims Act sets up a study and grants for elderly victims of crimes. Not much here except it will set up some grants, I do not see any real problem here. DAVID VOTED YES.
