You Call That ‘Stimulus’? Dems Plan Full Of Fluff
Email This Post
Erin wrote up a great examination of all the stuffing going into Obama’s and the House Dems’ ever-ballooning spending plan to meet his 100-day goal of “tax & spend like there’s no tomorrow!” Okay, that might not be his goal, but rather my expectation. So far it doesn’t look like I’ll be let down. But wait, there’s more!
Here’s a quick breakdown [via RedState] of the Dems’ “stimulus” plan which makes me question just what kind of stimulus are they proposing this will cause. It’s extremely worth noting that this new plan does not include even one GOP proposal. Not one. Nor was House Republican Leader, John Boehner, even consulted on it.
- $600 million for new cars for the federal government
- $1 billion “to minimize undercounting of minority groups” in the 2010 census
- $400 million for NASA for global warming
- $400 million for “National Treasures”
- $6 billion for colleges/universities, many of which have massive billion dollar endowments
- $166 billion in direct aid to states, many of which have failed to budget wisely
- $650 million more for digital television conversation [sic] coupons
$6 billion to colleges some of which already have endowments? $1 billion to “process improve” the next census? These are economy stimulators?
