STIMULUS -HOCUS- POCUS!!!

http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/stimulus_bill_pork/2009/02/14/181864.html?s=al&promo_code=7A39-1

Am urmarit in dupa amiaza asta o emisiune Fox News. Se pare ca Stimulusul lui Obama care ajunge la peste 3 Trilioane este asa o gluma pentru economia Americii. De fapt din ce am inteles eu, democratii s-au grabit sa includa in cele peste 1000 de pagini... care n-au reusit sa fie inca citite de cei care trebuie sa-si dea cu parerea, tot felul de programe care in trecut nu le-au fost aprobate. (oare de ce?)

Printre altele, mincare pentru copii dupa scoala, largire de freeways si rearanjarea aeropoartelor, educatie sexuala… lucruri care desi necesare nu sint pe departe ceea ce are nevoie economia la momentul asta.

Ca sa le fie si mai greu celor ce trebuie sa citeasca aceste documente - billul de stimulus nu li-i s-a dat in forma digitala; de obicei cind au asa un document urias de citit poti sa cauti dupa anumite cuvinte cheie care sa te atentioneze despre anumite lucruri care sint incluse in aceste documente . Pe linga asta , ca de obicei aceste documente sint scrise in cea mai intortochiata forma, cu scopul precis de a ingreuia intelegearea lor.

Republicanii conservatori au cerut blogarilor conservatori sa citeasca si ei documentele si sa revina si sa-i atentioneze cu ceea ce gasesc . In timpul programului ce l-am vazut, in jurul mesei se distribuisera portiuni din acest document si oamenii citeau si se minunau de cite programe ridicole au fost incluse.

Se pare ca 9 din 10 americani sint impotriva acestui bill…se pare ca telefoanele sint blocate de atitea chemari si… se pare ca presedintele nu-i prea fericit de faptul ca n-a reusit sa uneasca asa cum credea el ca va reusii pe democrati si republicani…intr-o singura fericita familie – bipartisan.

Cind economia Americii e pe moarte, democratii se gindesac sa dea cupoane pentru digital TV converter box...restorarea unor terenuri din San Francisco (districtul lui Pelosi )...si daca nu v-ati distrat destul, cititi mai jos...in englezeste.

Si toti banii astia vor fii imprumutati in numele nostru al celor care muncim ...si dati celor ce nu muncesc...si nici nu intentioneaza ca sa fie platit de nimeni altii decit de...copii copiilor nostrii (daca va mai dura viata pe planeta asta.)

Am citit zilele trecute o scrisoare deschisa a unui lucrator pe truck - constructii; care se lamenta ca trebuie sa dea test de urina oridecite ori i se cere, pe moment, pentruca conduce o masina asa de mare. Zicea el, ca testul nu-l deranjeaza; ce-l deranjeaza zicea el este ca plateste taxe si ca din taxele lui si a altora ca el traiesc cei de pe ajutor social carora nu li se cere nici un test de urina, ca sa vada daca sint pe droguri sau nu, atunci cind li se da ajutor social.

Construim fratilor socialismul in America...n-am nici o indoiala despre asta. Si sintem prea marunti si prea lipsiti de importanta sa facem ceva...Lumea de afara crede ca toata lumea in America il aduleaza pe Obama. Eu sint unul dintre cei care muncesc...si pe-acolo nu aplauda nimeni. Doamne ai mila de copii Tai, oriunde ar fi!!

The bill now spans more than 1,000 pages. While Democrats removed some provisions that fiscal conservatives objected to, most of the pork remains. Among them:

The plan has more than $3 billion in “neighborhood stabilization” and Community Development Block Grant funding, much of which may go to benefit ACORN, a low-income housing and voter registration “community” organization that is under federal investigation for its suspicious voter registration practices.

$1.3 billion to bailout AMTRAK, the perennial money-loser railroad.

$1 billion for educational programs, including courses on sexually transmitted diseases.

$30 million for restoration of wetlands to be spent in the San Francisco Bay Area – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district.

The money will go in part to protect the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.

$200 million for a low-pollution, coal-fired power plant in President Barack Obama’s home state of Illinois.

$45 million for ATV four-wheeler trails, and government office renovations, according to RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

$200 million to provide computers to community colleges.

$50 million for the National Endowment of the Arts.

Over $650 million in coupons to help consumers buy digital TV converter-box coupons.

A reported $300 million for hybrid vehicles and electric-powered cars. According to the Washington Times, this item will include buying golf carts for federal workers.

GOP Sen. John McCain summed up his view of the bill: “This measure is not bipartisan. It contains much that is not stimulative.”

Some of the criticisms of the bill, however, center on policy rather than cost.

The Heritage Foundation, for example, reports the bill reverses the bipartisan welfare reforms achieved during the Clinton administration.

Also, opponents have slammed the bill for being “anti-religious,” because it expressly prohibits the use of stimulus funds for faith-based schools, schools of divinity, facilities used for “sectarian worship,” or places of religious worship
