Repair Credit Report Help
So THIS is a stimulus pkg?
HAHAHAHAHA Provisions of the bill that many legislators are questioning: $1 billion for Amtrak, which hasn’t earned a profit in four decades. $2 billion to help subsidize child care. $400 million for research into global warming. $2.4 billion for projects to demonstrate how carbon greenhouse gas can be safely removed from the atmosphere. $650 million for coupons to help consumers convert their TV sets from analog to digital, part of the digital TV conversion. $600 million to buy a new fleet of cars for federal employees and government departments. $75 million to fund programs to help people quit smoking. $21 million to re-sod the National Mall, which suffered heavy use during the Inauguration. $2.25 billion for national parks. This item has sparked calls for an investigation, because the chief lobbyist of the National Parks Association is the son of Rep. David R. Obey, D-Wisc. The $2,25 billion is about equal to the National Park Service’s entire annual budget. The Washington Times reports it is a threefold increase over what was originally proposed for parks in the stimulus bill. Obey is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. $335 million for treatment and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. $4.19 billion to stave off foreclosures via the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The bill allows nonprofits to compete with cities and states for $3.44 billion of the money, which means a substantial amount of it will be captured by ACORN, the controversial activist group currently under federal investigation for vote fraud. Another $750 million would be exclusively reserved for nonprofits such as ACORN – meaning cities and states are barred from receiving that money. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., charges the money could appear to be a “payoff” for the partisan political activities community groups in the last election cycle. $44 million to renovate the headquarters building of the Agriculture Department. $32 billion for a “smart electricity grid to minimize waste. $87 billion of Medicaid funds, to aid states. $53.4 billion for science facilities, high speed Internet, and miscellaneous energy and environmental programs. $13 billion to repair and weatherize public housing, help the homeless, repair foreclosed homes. $20 billion for quicker depreciation and write-offs for equipment. $10.3 billion for tax credits to help families defray the cost of college tuition. $20 billion over five years for an expanded food stamp program. Republican leaders say the stimulus package will add 32 new government programs at a cost of $136 billion. They object that many of the programs, once established, are likely to continue indefinitely. Most media outlets are reporting the cost of the package at $819 billion. As Newsmax revealed yesterday, however, the Congressional Budget Office calculates that the interest on the debt generated by the bill’s spending will cost another $347.1 billion, making the total cost approximately $1.17 trillion. Liberal democrats strike again
Public Comments
- a pork laden DEMOCRATIC stimulus package...yes...dont you know that the unemployment rates will drop when all those child care centers open up?...and the thugs are hired to paint Public Housing?..man yeah... money for dope and beer will flow in the streets
- And this is a surprise to you? Taxes will sky rocket and how many jobs will it create? Bigger government means higher taxes and you did not even mentioned what we already have to pay taxes on before Obama plan to suppress the American taxpayers. Obama only cares about himself and he most definitely does not care about the American people especially the white ones, Obama is keeping Racism alive and well, MLK is turning over in his grave. Impeach is sounding better every second.
- Where you only see dollar signs, I (and many other people) see people, science, jobs, less medical costs by PREVENTING STDs, people able to go to work (if there are any jobs left) instead of staying home IF more day care is available, etc etc etc.. and that $2.4 billion for safe removal of carbon from the atmosphere? That's called "carbon sequestration" and is a proven, already-achieved FACT: CO2 is pumped from a North Dakota factory's exhaust into Canadian oil wells, via a pileline, as the wells are depleted: nifty, HUH?. It's also something that your hero, Glen Beck, said he was FOR last year; then, a few days ago he said "I don't even know what it is, I can barely pronounce, so I'm against it.' Where you only see spending, I see neglect. Where you see debt, I see roads, bridges and dams rebuilt and repaired. Make up your mind: science, facts, jobs and people versus your obstructionist, anti-science, money-grubbing non-bipartisan petty whining. Which will it be? America is watching. And we VOTE. Oh... and if Mr. Vitter is your moral compass, you're LOST, pal. check out www.republicansexoffenders.com and you should check your math... that projected debt on the bill might be "34 point 7 billion" (4%), but it's NOT 347 on 819 (40%)... I'd add my own HAHAHAHAHA but there's nothing funny about the shape the country's in nor your hero, Congressman Bone-nerd and his anti-people attitude. . .
- Yes, and also there is a Big Pay Back for Hollywood that gave millions to the Corrupt Obama. Cool!!!
- Helping people quit smoking will benefit the overall health-care cost crisis by reducing costs associated with smoking related ailments. The National Parks service have been MASSIVELY underfunded for years. Re-sodding the National Mall will stimulate those who complete the work and those who grow the grass. Regular maintenance of parks, if quality parks are going to exist, is necessary. I can go on with several others . . . the benefits of college education, the necessity to repair the neglected infrastructure . . . but these things are A) necessary, and B) will get the economy back on track because the Republican plan of cut taxes hasn't worked. All that has occurred is we have been brought to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and income/wealth has been concentrated in the fewest hands since 1929. The poor have gotten poorer, and the rich have become obscenely wealthy on the backs of the middle class.
- Money for AMTRAK?...WHAT?..Child Care?...a stimilus?..nope..pork pork pork...and payback
