Obviously they must be worried because I saw a number of them on the news telling of all the wonderful jobs this would create. To varying degrees every economist that has commented on the pork bill, H.R.1, has agreed on one thing, it will hurt not help the economy. Depending on the economist as to the degree it will hurt the economy.
