The enormous 'stimulus' package passed the Senate tonight after final House passage earlier today. President Obama is expected to sign it Monday.

Representative Tom Price (R-Ga) publicizes the haphazard process that produced this dubious legislation in this video.



In a sidelight to these developments, it was reported by Drudge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was eager to get the bill passed quickly so that she could leave for Rome as part of a delegation that will meet with Pope Benedict XVI and with Italian legislators next week. Given her attempts to reinterpret Catholic teaching on human life, there is speculation on what kind of papal reception Pelosi will receive. More on this here.
