Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Louisiana, a fiscal conservative, said he didn't support every program in the House bill. "We couldn't explain some of them," he said. For instance, "how does giving out condoms put people back to work?" But Melancon criticized Republicans who focused on only a small fraction of the stimulus bill, calling it "chump change."

I wonder if he was talking about this - What GOP Leaders deem wasteful in Senate stimulus bill. I would hardly refer to $19 Billion as "chump change."
