Some worry stimulus package is loaded with pork.
The Democrats are pushing for passage of the economic stimulus package.
Despite GOP opposition, the Democrats are predicting the bill will pass and that they have 60 votes to defeat any filibuster, reports Reuters.
Some are calling the stimulus package pork-filled.
Writes Yael T. Abouhalkah in the Kansas City Star of the opposition to wasteful spending contained in the stimulus package:
Americans aren’t stupid, and that’s why a large majority oppose billions of dollars in wasteful spending larded into the current stimulus bills in Washington.

Chinese hackers are rooting through Congress’ computers looking for information about Chinese dissidents and probably anything else that might be of interest, reports the AP.
Multiple congressional computers have been hacked by people working from inside China, lawmakers said Wednesday, suggesting the Chinese were seeking lists of dissidents.
Let’s hope not too many government secrets were compromised.
