I was just reading an article on Huffington Post about Obama's stimulus plan. Here's a quote from a Republican: "“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?” "
Now just yesterday, I was bitching about health insurance and birth control, and my co-worker said, "You'd think insurance companies would be giving out the stuff for free, considering that fewer children means less money spent on health care."
Sure it's not a short-term economic Depression-zapper, but hey, long-term. It exists.
