so I made it one in and was rolling my eyes....since when was a powerplant waste? Or did we stop needing power?

Biggest wast...you typing anything

 

[pocketfullofshells]

good god flood prevention? Food Safety? we don't need those do we? cough cough Katrina...Cough Peanut butter, cough cough
Federal Prisons? For what? don't you just want to let them go? maybe we need more for all the bankers that should be there.
Stopping Mexican gun runners? you watching the news IN Mexico? You claim to care about watching the border...I guess if you smuggle guns in that's fine..just don't come for a job
Funding for NASA? I guess when you heard Bush say he wanted us on Mars in x years...you where thinking we could do it for like 50 bucks...and besides what do we need space programs for
Fire Stations....we dont need those...screw firefighting...that was only cool for a bit after sept 11...now let the house burn,,,and no need to update them...ever...fire stays the same so lets just not bother to update them..



Did you ever read before you mindlessly copy pasted this?

the point is this money, that is so desperately needed, is to create jobs.. or so the obama camp says. But a lot of this is not for jobs, it's just for whatever..

quit liying about what the stimulus is and just level with people.

then give them a choice... and most will say. take a hike.

so building a prison will not creat any jobs...it will just apear in the night...and mystical gaurds will watch it. All materals formed from thin air.

Power plants don't create jobs, they run them-self..also no one builds them, again from in the midnight darkness...no one creates new technology for them...fairies bring it every few years...

We will stop gun runners....buy employing no one extra...just saying try harder at this,,,,no more crying for more border control...your against it right?

Flood control...well god, seems like someone would have to work on that....I mean I know its magic though, so again no jobs

Fire Stations...who will work there? and again, build my aliens in the night ( no the space ones, not mexicans)

And don't forget to attack the tax cuts ...I know you guys hate tax cuts..

I hope this bill works, and I hope it helps America...and if it does, you republicans can all know, you played no part in it,


Also Every Republican who votes against the bill....voted against Tax Cuts (its the same logic you try every election.)

There is nothing stimulating in this stim package.


if they want these programs, they should develop a pair of b@!!$ and make a bill about these programs instead of hiding them in the "emergency" stim package.

But it will be a cold day in hell before any lib will develop the above, they know the people dont want it and it would never pass unless they shoved it in something important

Its all bad but these two were the worst that I could see.
• $198 million to design and furnish the DHS headquarters
• $75 million for the Smithsonian Institution

There were other really really questionable ones but I did not know enough about them YET
