If you read all the articles there are more figures floating around about Pennsylania's share of the Porkulus Spendulous package than Carter has liver pills.
Here is a breakdown:
The Philadelphia Business Journal: $22.91 billion
KDKA out of Pittsburgh: Pennsylvania To Get $16B Piece Of Stimulus Pie
The Philadelphia Inquirer: Stimulus may give Pa. $10 billion over 2 years
The Morning Call: But that is just the icing on a $10 billion-plus spending cake for the state over the next two years.
Whatever the figure is please keep in mind Senator Arlen Specter's efforts - Specter played an active role, however, in making sure $10 billion for the National Institutes of Health, a pet priority, wasn't cut back.
Let's go with $16 billion since that is the latest figure from Fast Eddie. We have to ask Arlen Specter- $10 billion for an agency that already receives federal funding?! All I can say is that Kanjorski had an easier campaign that yours will be due to Barack Obama at the top of the ticket. Paul, don't take that as an endorsement. I am sure John Murtha's anchor is already being built with Navy appropriations.
