This has been a pretty quiet week. The stimulus bill, aka pork bill, will most likely be passed. It will have little effect on the economy but it just will shovel huge money into government and out of the economy. Experts have said long range it will have a detrimental effect on the economy. That does not address the administrations movement to TRIPLE the trillion dollar deficit through governmental control of the economy.
The only bill of note is a bill requiring reporting of deaths to the attorney general that occur while suspects are in police custody. It has not raised any eyebrows at this point and looks rather harmless as no money is being spent.
