Read the following article and ask yourself ..Just where does this type of spending creat jobs or helps?Last week, the House passed the then-$819 billion stimulus bill — without a single Republican vote. GOP senators vowed to oppose it as well, calling it a colossal waste of money, packed with pork and non-essential spending. NBC broke down some of the bigger numbers in the bill, for example: $275 billion in tax relief, $90 billion for infrastructure, $79 billion for school funding, etc. Sounds good, right? But in the fine print, there's a lot of proposed spending that may raise a few eyebrows. In an interview with President Barack Obama, CBS' Katie Couric called him on some of the more unusual proposals: - $6.2 billion for home weatherization - $50 million for port modernization and water and wastewater infrastructure needs in Guam -$100 million for children to learn green construction Obama defended the weatherization spending by emphasizing the long-term effects: "We're going to weatherize homes, that immediately puts people back to work and we're going to train people who are out of work, including young people, to do the weatherization. As a consequence of weatherization, our energy bills go down and we reduce our dependence on foreign oil. What would be a more effective stimulus package than that?" Fair enough. But what about the $800 million for Amtrak? Or the $150 million for the Smithsonian Institute? And there's more: So much more, in fact, that the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has set up a website that allows users to comb through the more than 900-page-long bill. You decide: Economic stimulus or wasteful spending? - $198 million for U.S. military benefits for Filipinos who fought for the U.S. during WWII - $75 million for "smoking cessation activities" - $87 million for the "design of a new polar icebreaker" - $335 million for HIV/STD screening - $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees All projects worthy of money, to be sure, but are they worthy of being part of an economic stimulus plan that's now expected to cost U.S. taxpayers $900 billion? However, both sides have signaled a willingness to concede. In an interview with CNN, Obama said he would consider cutting items that "may not really stimulate the economy right now." And in the spirit of bipartisanship, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) are working together to compile a list of recommended cuts, with a goal of reducing the bill by $200 billion. But as the economy continues to shrink and layoffs pile up by the tens of thousands, the nation may not have the patience for cross-party squabbling and finger-pointing. At the White House today, Obama summed it up: No plan is perfect, and we should work to make it stronger ... Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the essential. Let's show people all over our country who are looking for leadership in this difficult time that we are equal to the task." This happens with every bill they propose in congress, people try to piggyback onto the bill every special interest that they have. The truth of the matter is we need the stimulus and quick if we are going to stave off a depression here in this country. Hopefully they will trim the fat and put it through soon. I like your other picture better...the black and white...gulp !!...

Actually I think Bush topped any other president in utilizing a crisis to launch illegal activity. Using 9/11 to attack Iraq when bin laden had never been there, never would be and had nothing to do with Iraq. Bush beats out Clinton for the wrongs done to this country and other countries. |

I think it's absolutely awful that are about 8 million to 9 million uninsured children in the United States.
Four million people have lost their employer based insurance in the past year. |

The article was on Yahoo's home page... and if you read it ..it did state that this is only a small piece of whats proposed. The bill is 900 pages long. being retired with time on my hands I plan to look it over The point I thought was... Ithought there were not to be "earmarks" or special requests for funding.. no matter what happens no matter if you voted for Obama or not he is in the "powre chair" now and its either support him or wait 4 more years.. we had enough of Disneyland running the country.. "goofy" was in charge.

Bush achieved both the highest and lowest approval rating in history. |

Then stand back and look at it. OK tell me what figures you see. Then I'll talk to you about it. |
