The Stimulus Shopping List: $1.17 Trillion in Pork Goodies
The Stimulus Shopping List: $1.17 Trillion in Pork Goodies
Thursday, January 29, 2009 4:00 PM
By: David A. Patten
The $1.17 trillion stimulus bill passed by House Democrats on Wednesday bears little resemblance to the bill originally proposed by President Obama, with less than 5 percent of the funds now going to repair America’s deteriorating infrastructure.
GOP critics point out the bill is loaded with tens of billions for items ranging from Amtrak subsidies to sexually transmitted diseases to the National Endowment for the Arts -- much of which won’t actually flow into the economy until long after economists expect the current economic crisis to subside.
In late November, Obama promised: “It will be a two-year, nationwide effort to jumpstart job creation in America, and lay the foundation for a strong and growing economy. We’ll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges,â€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

This is not a stimulus bill.
It's a Socialist Pork Bill.
Obama, how many people are going to get jobs out of that spending bill? Not too darn many. There is very little job creation in that bill. It's main goal is to redistribute the wealth.
This bill is a LIE!
$21 million to re-sod the National Mall, which suffered heavy use during the Inauguration.
