A top-ranking Republican lawmaker on Wednesday said that Congressional Republicans are worried about the level of domestic spending in the $825 billion economic stimulus bill now facing approval in the U.S. House of Representatives. House Republican Leader John Boehner said Republicans are “for more than just cutting taxes.” He also added that the bill before lawmakers for a vote Wednesday contains spending that “has nothing to do with creating jobs or preserving job”—which was its intended aim. He did not say how he thought the vote would turn out. But, Boehner did say he was satisfied that U.S. President Barack Obama came to the Capitol to talk over differences between Democrats and Republicans. He said on ABC's “Good Morning America” that Obama “was clear that he will continue to reach out to us and listen to our ideas.”
