Ah, Stimulus

Thank you Conservative Underground! Here is a list of fun facts from the stimulus package...

Provision	Who Wins	Who Gets Screwed
$1 billion for Amtrack	Amtrak, people without cars	Everyone else
$400 million to research global warming	Nobody - This will only hurt the economy.	Everybody. The myth of global warming is extended, we have to buy new cars, new light bulbs, pay new taxes, shut down non-green businesses, lose jobs, and cripple our economy. All over a lie.
$2.4 billion to study how to remove greenhouse gases from atmosphere	20 environmental wackos in a research institute	everyone else
$650 million for digital TV coupons	nobody - if you can't afford a tv upgrade box, you need to look for a job! Plus TV is crap, and only helps the economy in the entertainment business. Why aren't the big TV networks paying for this?	Everyone who pays taxes.
$600 million for new fleet of govt. cars	Car Makers, govt. employees. What is wrong with the normal method for justifying and acquiring cars?	Taxpayers, Everyone else.
$75 million to fund programs to quit smoking	government reasearchers	everyone else - so we hand 75mil to some lab somewhere and this helps the economy... how?
$21 million to re-sod DC mall damaged during inauguration	Gardeners in D.C.	Everyone else. Aren't there like millions of unemployed who could volunteer to do this, for say... $2000? There is no way this is economic stimulus. If it were, then shouldn't the bill have provisions for every damaged lawn in the US?
$2.25 billion for Natl Parks	Yogi Bear	Everyone else. Are you getting the picture that the groups that fed giant sums of cash to Washington for the last election are the ones getting the goodies here? Can you say "Public Employee Unions"?
$50 million for Natl Endowment of the arts	Deranged artists who have no market in sane society.	Those who know what pee is really for. How expensive is Artist Urine these days?
$20 billion over 5 years to expand food stamp program	Government Dependants	Everyone who works hard to provide for themselves.

This bill is pork. In fact, calling this bill pork is an insult to pigs.
