McDonnell debates the stimulus bill
Both sides:
Con: The stimulus plan “is not going to be good long-term for America” and created more problems than it solved. – Bob McDonnell, a year ago
Pro: The $24 million in “federal funding awarded to Virginia will allow us to develop an information technology system that will safeguard our ability to track health records and provide our physicians with the technological tools they need to provide the highest quality service possible.” – Bob McDonnell, today
Other Virginia Republicans who voted against the stimulus bill but have since praised its benefits include Minority Whip Eric Cantor, Rep. Frank Wolf, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte.
Update: Gov. McDonnell wants even more of the stimulus funding (that he opposed) for Medicaid and to help build a Rolls Royce manufacturing plant.
