The only thing this package appears to be designed to stimulate is the nether regions of various congresspeople who get off on finacially abusing the the American taxpayer. Take a look at some of the items in the so-called "stimulus" package, and explain to me how this really does sustainable good for the economy:
-$6 billion to weatherize "modest income homes." (how is "modest" defined, exactly?)
-$6 billion to provide internet in "underserved" areas (like to see which districts are underserved - should be interesting)
-$6 billion for "higher education modernization." (college modernization? aren't most of them private institutions?)
-$20 billion to increase food stamp funding (so it's a welfare bill now?)
-$600 million for the federal government to buy brand new energy efficient cars (new Prius for everyone!)
-$400 million for state and local governments to buy brand new energy efficient cars (new Prius for everyone!)
-$2.4 billion for carbon capture demonstration programs ($2.4 billion on liberal propoganda is supposed to stimulate the economy how?)
-$350 million to research using energy efficient technology on military bases (that's just for the research, folks!)
-$300 million for grants and loans to state and local governments for projects that reduce diesel emissions, "benefiting public health and reducing global warming" (Global Warming - the trillion dollar myth?)
-$500 million for energy efficient manufacturing demonstration projects. (demonstrations? for who? will you give me a dishwasher free for a year so you can demonstrate what the savings costs may be?) -$400 million to build major research facilities "that perform cutting edge science" (define that for me a bit more specifically, please...what's that? Whoever wants to open up a lab in your District is "cutting edge"? Thought so...)
-$400 million "to put more scientists to work doing climate change research" (oh, God...)
-$600 million for satellite development and acquisitions, including climate sensors and climate modeling.
(maybe then someone can tell me why the f**k it's been such a cold winter?)
$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts (and that stimulates the economy how again?)
-$1.5 billion to help local communities build and rehabilitate low-income housing using green technologies. (welfare+warming mythology = waste)
More, plus a link to the bill, here. This isn't a stimulus bill. It's a Democratic welfare package on a vaster economic scale than has ever been attempted before, written on a blank check with no funds to back it up. It's the iceberg that will sink the good ship America; one can only hope our bureaucrats and elected officials will be able to get away fast enough in their taxpayer-purchased hybrids.
As a certain Colonel Kurtz once said, "The horror... the horror..."
