Stimulate THIS


Say it isn't so?!?The stimulus bill that is being pushed upon us is shaping up to be the biggest handout in American history.Just how outrageous is this shameful $819 billion stimulus?

For starters — and this will shock you — both the House and the Senate programs have a loophole that even gives illegal aliens cash payouts.

Here’s how The Associated Press explained it: “Undocumented immigrants who are not eligible for a Social Security number can file tax returns with an alternative number. A House-passed version of the economic recovery bill, and one making its way through the Senate, would allow anyone with such a number, called an individual taxpayer identification number (TIN), to qualify for the tax credits.”

In case you didn’t know it, any illegal can get a TIN number from Social Security, no questions asked.

This means illegals who broke the law to get here will be eligible immediately for federal cash — up to $1,000!

It gets worse. Let me detail for you some facts from the “stimulus”:

  • More than $4 billion is earmarked for "neighborhood stabilization activities" — money that will go to groups like ACORN, which worked closely with the Obama campaign, the same group accused of massive voter fraud.
  • Almost half of the proposed spending will directly benefit the Service Employees International Union, federal, state, and municipal employee unions, or other Democratic-controlled unions, according to writer Ben Stein.
  • $600 million goes for news cars for top government bureaucrats.
  • Obama promised major infrastructure projects — yet only 5 percent of all the money goes for this.
  • $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts.
  • $75 million to fund anti-smoking programs.
  • $650 million for the switch from analog television to digital.
  • $335 million to help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
  • $600 million for “climate change” research programs.

This is just a small part of the long laundry list of trivial, weird, and simply outrageous programs being funded in the Obama stimulus bill, which goes on for 680 pages — so long no one in the House was believed to have read it before voting for it!

Just to show you the tremendous waste, there is so much money appropriated in this bill you could give every unemployed person in the nation a check for $75,000 for the amount being spent.

This will stimulate NOTHING but the economic situations of the Unions and PAC's that supported the president in the election...please Mr President, don't start off this way...you seem to be an exeptional person, why would you reward mediocrity, laziness and just plain weirdness using other people's money? GOD, I hate being right all the time....
