Checkout stimulus watch at this link.

$17.5 Billion for New Energy Efficiency Industrial Zones 100 Acres in Puerto Rico?
$500 Million for solar water heaters in Puerto Rico?
$600 Million for a dirt trail in Mississippi?

This is disgusting! :censored:
25 years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.  Now we have Obama, no hope and no cash.

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

Liberals' pet causes which won't do jack squat to help the economy.

Some of those things are so freaking stupid it makes my brains hurt. :bawl:
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Economically, anything that has construction labor inputs could be called legit, because people will indeed earn paychecks building the damned things, and it does make more sense than including $200,000,000.00 worth of birth control stuff in it like San Fran Nan tried to do.

Now that's just technically speaking.  My gut and my inner cynic agree with mamacags, though, so the analyst is 'way outvoted.

I downloaded the HR1 bill (700 plus pages). I can't find any of these items listed in the bill using Adobe's search feature. Anyone else tried to see if any of the above items are true?

PS..looks like their are several revisions on gpo.gov...
