Economic Stimulus 2009

The Economic “Stimulus”
What an awful idea!! This is why:

-Green Jobs: This is just a push to get the jobs lost to be replaced by the left’s agenda. $35 billion will go to the Department of Energy, which already has an operating budget of $23.8 billion. And, pop quiz, why was the Department of Energy created? Well, their mission is to “advance energy technology and promote related innovation in the United States.” Founded in 1977, what a great job they have been doing. Now we almost totally rely on foreign oil….

-Expanding Medicaid coverage: Socialized Medicine here we come. This will make the government responsible for more health care spending than the private sector.

-Family Planning and birth control for immigrants and KIDS. This opens the door for Federally funded abortions, how does this help the economy? *Last checked this was pulled because Pelosi deemed it not to help the economy… no kidding!

-$87 Billion Medicaid bailout: Now the Feds are going to match State spending dollar for dollar. So now we can add bailing out states and giving them incentive to keep up with irresponsible spending. Oh, and the best part, now we are paying twice as much for this broken program.

-Some other caveats in this “stimulus bill:” $600 Million for Government Cars, $650 Million more in DTV Coupons, $50 Million for the National Endowment of the Arts, and the best has to be the $200 Million set up for repairs on the National Mall. Given the situation after the One’s Inauguration, over 100 tons of garbage where all over the National Mall. In comparison only 40 tons were gathered from Times Square on New Years.
