  • U.S.S.A & Liberal Agenda-Stimulus Truth
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

heres a sample of where some of this "stimulus" money is going.


Congressman Paul presented an abbreviated list of the additions to this bill, to which I have added a more complete list courtesy of one of my subscribers. It all adds up to a lot of "pork."

$30 billion to subsidize health insurance for those who lose their jobs

$15 billion to increase college Pell Grants

$500 tax credits for people who earn less than $75,000

$1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that hasn't turned a profit in 40 years

$2 billion for child-care subsidies

$50 million for that great engine of job creation, the National Endowment for the Arts;

$400 million for global-warming research

$2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects.

$650 million on top of the billions already doled out to pay for digital TV conversion coupons

$30 billion, or less than 5% of the spending in the bill, is for fixing bridges or other highway projects

$40 billion for broadband and electric grid development, airports and clean water projects

$20 billion for business tax cuts

$252 billion is for income-transfer payments -- that is, cash or benefits to individuals for doing nothing at all.

$81 billion for Medicaid

$36 billion for expanded unemployment benefits

$20 billion for food stamps

$83 billion for the earned income credit for people who don't pay income tax

$54 billion will go to federal programs that the Office of Management and Budget or the Government Accountability Office have already criticized as 'ineffective' or unable to pass basic financial audits (includes Economic Development Administration, the Small Business Administration, the 10 federal job training programs, and many more.)

$66 billion more for education (including $335 million for education related to sexually transmitted diseases)

$4 billion is allocated to expanding the police state and the war on through Byrne grants and the COPS program, both of which are corrupt and largely ineffective programs.

$20 billion would go towards health information technology, which would create a national system of electronic medical records without adequate privacy protection (These records would instead be subject to the misnamed federal 'medical privacy' rule, which allows government and state-favored special interests to see medical records at will)

$250 million is allocated for states to nationalize individual student data, expanding Federal control of education and eroding privacy

$79 billion bails out states that haphazardly expanded their budgets during the bubble years, but refuse to retrench and cut back, as their taxpayers have had to, during recession years.

$200 million expands Americorps

$100 million goes to 'faith-and-community' based organizations for social services, which will further insinuate the government into charity and community service.

$4 billion for job training

$200 million to 'encourage' electric cars

$2 billion to support US manufacturers of advanced batteries and battery systems

$500 million for energy efficient manufacturing demonstration projects

$50 million for the National Cemetery Administration's monument and memorial repairs

$2 billion for child-care subsidies

$100 million for reducing the danger of lead paint in homes

$50 million for NASA facilities that may have been harmed by natural disaster

$200 million for the U.S. Geological Survey to monitor earthquakes and volcanoes

$70 million for a Technology Innovation Program for 'research in potentially revolutionary technologies' -- government will pick winners and losers

$746 million for after school snacks

$6.75 billion for the Department of Commerce, including $1 billion for a census.
