Went to my comgressman's website, and started on the bill. After reading and skimming almost fifty pages and a few billion dollars I saw NO appropriation that had any business in a "stimulus" package. SOLID PORK, that has it's place in a normal annual budget bill. Where it can be debated and eliminated if too agregious.

This bill is the disaster the sane economists say it is.

At least I haven't heard this being referred to as a "bi-partisan" bill in the last few days. 99% against a bill, the other party 99% for a bill isn't a compromise at all. This thing was a sham, no telling what's really in that bill. Barack Hussein Obama lied repeatedly throughout this whole fiasco, and now today he's saying that that was just step one. He's not through throwing tax dollars to his friends.

Filipino Prez Glad for US Stimulus Bill
February 14, 2009
Associated Press

MANILA, Philippines - A $198 million compensation package for Filipino World War II veterans included in the U.S. stimulus bill is a long-overdue victory for the former soldiers, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said Saturday.

The $787 billion stimulus package approved by Congress on Friday contains provisions recognizing and compensating Filipino veterans who fought under the American flag when the Philippines was still an American colony.

"Despite America's economic challenges, the U.S. Congress voted to correct a historic wrong and incorporate the lump-sum benefit for our veterans," Arroyo said in a statement.

Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, a longtime supporter of Filipino veterans, has said the stimulus measure will provide $198 million for one-time payments to Filipino veterans.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
