Parts of President Obama's 647 page "2009 Stimulus Package" Bill

?
The House approved $819 billion The 244 to 188 vote was mostly along party lines, with 11 Democrats voting against the package.

-- $44 million for construction, repair and improvements at U.S. Department of Agriculture facilities;

-- $209 million for work on deferred maintenance at Agricultural Research Service facilities;

-- $245 million for maintaining and modernizing the IT system of the Farm Service Agency;

-- $50 million for "watershed rehabilitation";

-- $2.7 billion for rural-water and waste-disposal direct loans;

-- $1 billion for "periodic censuses and programs";

-- $650 million for digital-to-analog converter box program;

-- $624 million for Navy operation and maintenance; and

-- $79 billion in education funds for states.*


I side with the house republicans and the 11 democrats who voted against the bill. This package is coming from borrowed money. And heaven forbid it does not work. Then what? Borrow more money from. . .?

Maaaaaan

?
i thought singles got back $600 bucks from the stimulus package, i just got mine and its only $300 bucks! What is that?! Less than a third of what i got back in my return, A freakin bill thats what it is. How am i gonna stimulate the economy by paying off debt? (hint: that is a rhetorical question, but the answer is I CAN'T)
Perhaps some...maybe super young adults (17-20), college kids or just anyone with zero "real responsibility...." will stimulate the economy by blowing their 300bills on a cloths, pot, beer, cigs, and other random junk. Cool!
Well its better than nothing.
