Obama’s “Stimulus Plan”==> Pork Filled and Fear Driven
The One's stimulus plan is anything but. Make a list of everything that liberals have lusted after for as long as there have been liberals, put them all in one place, decide that money is no object and you get this massive stool sample the Obama administration likes to call a "stimulus plan. It reads like a laundry list of things that would have never made it into the regular budget under normal conditions, much less in the current economic climate.
President Obama is using fear tactics and "chicken little" like hysteria to rush this thing through the House and Senate. The real reason for this rush to stimulus isn't a looming financial collapse though. The real reason is that every day that goes by more and more people are finding out what's in this piece of crap bill and don't want to swallow what's being forced down their throats.
This stimulus plan provides stimulus like the Fairness Doctrine will provide fairness. Here's just a little taste of what's in it according to the House republicans:
- $726 million for after-school snack programs
- $44 million for repairs to the Agriculture Department
- $1 billion for the 2010 Census
- $650 million for digital TV coupons
- $1 billion for climate satellite and habitat restoration programs
- $400 million for state and local governments to acquire new vehicles
- $600 million to replace a portion of the federal government vehicle fleet
- $462 million to replace Centers for Disease Control facilities
- $7.7 billion for construction and repairs of federal buildings
- $2.1 billion for Head Start and Early Head Start programs
- $13 billion for special education state grants
- $15.6 billion for Pell grants
- $50 million in funding for the National Endowment of the Arts
You make the call. Not much stimulus in that $43,332,000,000 now is there?
Get involved, call your congressman and senator and tell them to stop it now.
