This is what the Democrat-Obama sponsored economic stimulus REALLY IS – PORK and excessive spending that will NOT promote American jobs. Nancy Pelosi proposes a bailout for the states, including birth control.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic “stimulus” package, claiming “contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.”

Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, “Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom,” seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.

The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC’s THIS WEEK.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children’s health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those – one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.

Here is the video:

Come on. Is Pelosi saying that less children mean less costs to the state? Or is she proposing a massive bailout for states that are running massive budget deficits?

You be the judge.

But, it sounds to Flap like the same old tax and spend, liberal nonsense of the 1970′s – ALL OVER AGAIN.
