Okay who here honestly thinks that this stimulus package is actually going to help the economy? I dont it's filled with pork. If you want see some of the ways they think spending will stimulate the econcmy read here. www.readthestimulus.org/Some of the stuff they stuck in there goes beyond silly. $50,000,000 in grants to provide jobs for National Foundation for the Arts? ? Come on that is just silly. Another $650,000,000 for the DTV conversion?? What The hell?? And somone please explain this to me: $600,000,000 for accelerating satellite development and acquisition, acquiring climate sensors and climate modeling capacity, and establishing climate data records. I hate to say it but this is going to fail, and if Obama trys to push it through the honeymoon will officially be over.

Allright explain how: $600,000,000 for accelerating satellite development and acquisition, acquiring climate sensors and climate modeling capacity, and establishing climate data records.
It seems to me that this is creating jobs for only a specific skill set not the average person.
The Economic Stimulus Package is the Liberal bridge to Nowhere.
I don't think it's going to do anything. Considering there is enough money in bailout packages and stimulus package to pay off 90% of the mortgages in America is ridiculous.
Even Biden is saying he is not sure it's going to work. Heck Obama said as much in his press conference last night.
His already setting up his damage control when the Stimulus package doen't work
The silly thing is most of the money won't be available until October.
The current bill is a bad idea. It's giving the government too much control in the free market.

If someone has to be paid to do it its a job.
The free market is horseshit and trusting it is why our economy's collapsed.

Here's the real fucking point: The point of economic stimulus is spending. If you're against government spending, you're not going to be happy with any stimulus bill that has any chance at all of working.
