For the record, I hated Bush's package too.

I recently read in the New York Times that the current size of Obama's stimulus package is approximately $825 Billion and the theory is that more payouts are to be added to that.

Here's an interesting little clip from a hearing in the Ways and Means Committee.

You caught that, right? Absolutely no data could be provided in regards to job creation. Not even an educated guess! Then I heard a woman on talk radio say that she's been putting together a list of where the money is going. She's usually pretty accurate and I will assume as much in posting this. Feel free to check it out...let me know if she messed up.

If that's not accurate there's always this.

My favorite was the $150 billion to explore "alternative"energy. How many scientists can one employ for $150 B?

This guy here had some pretty clear thoughts on what we're actually paying for.

I realize I look like I am being a little lazy in just posting what others have said, but acutally that's my point...

You don't have to look very hard to find the facts and see that this is bad policy that is getting rammed through Congress and up our butts. It doesn't take much effort to see that this is neither "change" nor "hope". This is wasteful and shameful pork spending dressed up (with lipstick and everything).

Is anyone outraged yet? Or do we have to wait until our children's children are sold into perpetual debt and bondage?
