443-452 – (:41) NP Birth Control. Nancy Pelosi on ABC's Sunday Program "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos (1/26/09) talking about how contraception can be part of the economic recovery plan.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy.
• Fox News (1/27/09) House Dems Axe Birth Control Funds From Stimulus Bill: Democratic leaders in the House have dropped federal funding for new contraceptive services from an $825 billion economic stimulus package.
As originally written, the House Democratic bill included more than $300 million in funds to slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. It also included a provision -- the one that's drawn the most GOP fire -- that provides a 9-to-1 match of federal funds to state funds to provide contraceptives to poor women who qualified under Medicaid. It also would have provided the same contraceptives to women whose income was 200 percent of the federal poverty level, a significant increase in funding.
// The contraceptive funding is an effort to expand federal efforts to prevent unwanted births. Currently, Medicaid provides family planning services after women become pregnant. It focuses all federal funds on contraceptives to prevent unwanted pregnancies, not other family planning services Medicaid provides.
• WSJ (1/27/09) Speaker Nancy Malthus: Pelosi should abstain from social engineering.
The notion that a larger population will produce a lower standard of living can be traced to the 18th-century economist Thomas Malthus. But during Malthus's own lifetime, his prediction was proved false, as he later acknowledged. Population and living standards rose simultaneously, and have continued to do so.

558-608 – Should people who don't pay any federal income taxes be given a tax cut?
(:57) Jim McDermott (D-WA) complains: "If you don't pay taxes, you get nothing out of this [tax cut] amendment." Sam Johnson (R-TX) says, "Mr. Chairman, just yesterday President Obama said he agrees with that concept, and that we shouldn't be taxing people on their unemployment benefits. I would hope that it's an oversight on y'all's part, and [that you] would accept this amendment." Jim McDermott (D-WA) responds, "Certainly Mr. Johnson's amendment has press appeal, but it follows an old pattern of giving the tax benefit to the people on the top of the income scale, even though they only get 34% of the benefits. If you don't pay taxes, you get nothin' out of this amendment. It is not good for people on the bottom who are the ones who are most likely to be affected by the unemployment insurance….[inaudible]"
