Stimulus Plan 2009 - Anhil8tor - 02-05-2009

The package includes an insurance exemption â but only for companies that work on recreational boats longer than 65 feet. Another provision would lift a Medicare regulation affecting only three long-term care hospitals in the country. Thereâs also language requiring the Transportation Security Administration to buy 100,000 uniforms from U.S. apparel makers.
In theory and publicity, the package is âearmark free.â But it contains dozens of narrowly defined programs that send money to specific areas or cater to special interests, despite President Barack Obamaâs pledge to pass âan economic recovery plan that is free from earmarks and pet projects.â
Some â like the yacht workersâ exemption â would take little or nothing from taxpayer pockets. Others, like $3 billion in extra transit money added by the House, are handing ammo to critics who say the stimulus plan, now at about $900 billion in the Senate, has morphed into a Christmas list.

Specific location? The Senate stimulus contains $50 million for habitat restoration and other water needs in the San Francisco Bay Area. There is another $62 million for military projects in Guam.
Specific industry? The House bill includes an amendment authored by Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley setting aside $500 million for biofuel makers, which he says, would bring jobs home to Iowa.
Specific program? There’s $198 million to compensate Filipino World War II veterans for their service. Most don’t live in the United States.

In other words, wasting money?

Some of these programs are ridiculous but some look bad but are actually needed one way or the other.

Its the same kind of pork that was stuffed in the last economic plan. Its not the presidents fault most of the senators stuff that shit in there.
Obama can do no worse economically than bush did clay. I'm hoping he gets the economy popping like clinton did. I re-read what I posted up there and I don't see anything derogatory about Obama.
See:
In theory and publicity, the package is “earmark free.” But it contains dozens of narrowly defined programs that send money to specific areas or cater to special interests, despite President Barack Obama’s pledge to pass “an economic recovery plan that is free from earmarks and pet projects.”

I agree and find no fault in that. The fault lies with the senators that are stuffing their pet projects in the deal. We need something to fix our economy AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'm hoping Obama has the right ground work laid in the plan.

Prediction:The next complaint will be over his supreme court pick.

It's going to be full of bullshit because that's what politicians do. To them it's about getting re-elected, not what's good for the country. It's hard to change that culture overnight.
