Yeah I know, Jesus doesn't have sides, he loves us all, even a fellow Jew like myself. However, you can still love someone when disagreeing with them. Based on the world-famous prophet's teachings, I am bound to assume that Jesus would be in favor of helping those in need. On the flip side, making a disingenuous statement(s) about spending more than a million dollars a year since the Holy Son has been alive on the bill would not be so good in Jesus' book.
From Politico:
The quotes from the CBO are also misleading, since they had not done a full report on the bill and subsequent reports show that the stimulus would add a much needed boost to the economy. As for Schumer's statement deriding critics of the bill, he made the error of reaching out to Americans beyond the GOP's spin to ensure that vital infrastructure programs commence as soon as possible to put people back to work. Yes, that is change I can believe in Mr. LaCivita.
After watching liberal allies of President Barack Obama flood the airwaves in support of the stimulus bill, a conservative third-party group is countering with a provocative new commercial using Jesus Christ to emphasize the scale of the $787 billion package.
The American Issues Project, which briefly aired a TV spot in last year's presidential race, will go up on Friday with a TV spot that marks the dollars spent with the passage of time.
“Suppose you spent $1 million every single day starting from the day Jesus was born — and kept spending through today,” says the announcer as an image of the three wise men flashes on the screen. “A million dollars a day for more than 2,000 years. You would still have spent less money than Congress just did.”
According to Chris LaCivita, an AIP consultant, they are spending just under $1 million on the ad, which will be aired on national cable.
