Is the Obama Stimulus Bill Working for America ?
-
And this is the economic recovery package congress and the pres. came up with was "to help us and the nation from George W."???? WTF??? What a racket... The stimulus didn't work???? WOW, i can't believe it!!! $2 billion earmark to re-start FutureGen, a near-zero emissions coal power plant in Illinois that the Department of Energy defunded last year because it said the project was inefficient. • A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film. • $650 million for the digital television converter box coupon program. • $88 million for the Coast Guard to design a new polar icebreaking ship. • $448 million for constructing the Department of Homeland Security headquarters. • $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters. • $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees. • $400 million for the Centers for Disease Control to screen and prevent STD’s. • $1.4 billion for rural waste disposal programs. • $125 million for the Washington sewer system. • $150 million for Smithsonian museum facilities. • $1 billion for the 2010 Census, which already has a projected cost overrun of $3 billion. • $75 million for “smoking cessation activities.” • $200 million for public computer centers at community colleges. • $75 million for salaries of employees at the FBI. • $25 million for tribal alcohol and substance abuse reduction. • $500 million for flood reduction projects on the Mississippi River. • $10 million to inspect canals in urban areas. • $6 billion to turn federal buildings into “green” buildings. • $500 million for state and local fire stations. • $650 million for wildland fire management on forest service lands. • $1.2 billion for “youth activities,” including youth summer job programs. • $88 million for renovating the headquarters of the Public Health Service. • $412 million for CDC buildings and property. • $500 million for building and repairing National Institutes of Health facilities in Bethesda, Maryland. • $160 million for “paid volunteers” at the Corporation for National and Community Service. • $5.5 million for “energy efficiency initiatives” at the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration. • $850 million for Amtrak. • $100 million for reducing the hazard of lead-based paint. • $75 million to construct a “security training” facility for State Department Security officers when they can be trained at existing facilities of other agencies. • $110 million to the Farm Service Agency to upgrade computer systems. • $200 million in funding for the lease of alternative energy vehicles for use on military installations. How about DIRECTLY helping the people create jobs right here in our own country instead of shipping everything overseas and import crap we don't need. Maybe a little incentives to open businesses, get to work with some lower taxes, expand businesses and corporations, hire more employees, etc. NOT stepping on the toes of the hands that feed you ie. the AMERICAN hard working people of this country? Or is that the PLAN, the underlying hidden agenda to destroy the country from within? Lets make it more and more difficult to do anything, bankrupt the country, choke the people slowly, tax em' to death, fear and control and prpaganda control and more control making everyone totally dependent on BIG government.... collapse. Congress didn't read the bill.... I did, and it's a scam. They cried the sky is falling and we need it now, the bill was passed practically overnight. We've been had people... www.readthestimulus.org

The stimulus package in Australia (that stopped Australia going into a recession) was far from perfect, but it was quick and immediate and put a lot of unemployed building trade workers and their labourers into work immediately. It cost 4 or 5 lives through safety issues, but it saved thousands of families and businesses. The lives it probably saved will never be counted
This makes me sick. What a waste... why not just give some of this money to people.. people who need it.. what a stupid asinine waste.. what a stupid asinine government!
