"In the meantime, Congressman Jack Kingston of Georgia provides a summary of what is actually in the bill that House Democrats have cobbled together......"
This plan must be stopped.
At the very least, it should be discussed openly so that the public knows what Pres. BO and the Dems intend to do with US$ 825 billion!
Furthermore, Jeff Emanuel, Columnist, journalist and contributor to RedState.com adds this:
"The short answer is: "It shouldn't."
This so-called "stimulus" package, all $850 Billion, 334 pages, and counting of it, contains very little by way of actual economic stimulation, and very much by way of massive pork barrel giveaways to be paraded as an "I got mine!" monetary victory in Senators' states and Representatives' districts -- all at taxpayers' expense."
"Here is a better question, why is government spending on make-work projects being considered as the best tool for stimulating the economy at all?
The same folks who complained spending on the war in Iraq was bankrupting the country--not true--somehow think a lot more federal spending on other stuff is going to be good for the economy--huh?
And it is not like there aren't better alternatives out there, some good options have been laid out by our economists at the Heritage Foundation.
What really bothers me is that we are going to throw a lot of money at what is not the government's business and then likely strangle funding on things that are government's business like providing for the common defense."
