A 40-Year Wish List - No Stimulus Package Blog

Check out this great Wall Street Journal article on President Obama's proposed "stimulus" plan. Again, if Dems would cut the pork (or even most of it), they have a much better chance of winning GOP votes. Check out some of the "stimulus" that passed the House vote:

- Less than $30 billion for highway improvements
- $600,000,000 for the federal government to buy new cars (not for you and me)
- $325,000,000 for STD prevention
- $150,000,000 to insure farmers against honeybee damage
- $81,000,000,000 for Medicaid
- $36,000,000,000 for unemployment benefits
- $20,000,000,000 for food stamps
- $1,000,000,000+ for the Department of Health and Human Services to study alternative medical treatments

Again, this is supposed to be a STIMULUS package. Perhaps most if not all of the money should go to jobs creation and incentivizing businesses and individuals to start spending again?!?

Call your Senators and Representative and tell them to vote NO on the current "stimulus" plan. (202) 224-3121
