Part of the stimulus package will boost border security. President Obama is scheduled to sign the stimulus package on Tuesday.

The objective is to stop the flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico and into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

Experts say at least 75 percent of the guns the cartels get come from the U.S.

The bill also provides 200 million dollars for the construction of a virtual fence along the southwest border. Homeland security stopped a virtual fence project last year because of technical problems.

It also will provide welcome signs and directions to the nearest welfare office, hospitals for pregnant illegal aliens and directions on how to take stimulus jobs from Americans.

Americans are beyond pissed because the majority of them oppose this stimulus. I just looked at CNN's website (traditionally a left wing network) and every one of the 80 comments regarding the stimulus were negative. Americans hurting economically are further enraged with what they see as wasteful government spending to appease special interests while nothing is done to help them improve their lives. And Obama using Air Force One to sign this crapsandwich enraged them even more. I think we are at the boiling point.......

I was livid that Bush spent 247 days of one year vacationing either at Camp David or in Crawford, and I read that it cost $60,000 an hour to fly Air Force One. That did not include the cost of Marine One, the advance teams of Secret Service, the camoflage AF1 and multiple M1's flying alongside to any place the president goes. This is a waste of taxpayer dollars, and Obama is also popping around just like GWB.
