So what Republican ideas, exactly, did Democrats include in that stimulus bill that got no Republican votes in the House yesterday? Oddly enough, the one the White House keeps mentioning was an idea that came from House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia.
Yes, that Eric Cantor. Otherwise known as, the guy whose job was to make sure no Republicans voted for it.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has given Cantor credit for suggesting that the spending in the stimulus bill be made as transparent as possible, with all of the details posted on the Internet so the public can track where the money is going. (He just told the same story again at today’s press briefing.)
