PORKULUS PACKAGE
Submitted by badmatty on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 10:21
That's just an attempt to help you see how much money we are talking about here. It's an absurd amount. More than that are the amounts they are not talking about. That 790 Billion will cost us approximately 3.2 TRILLION after financing and funding. We do not have this money in a vault somewhere. We as a nation have to either print Vapor-Money or borrow it.
That's just the stimulus package. We have yet to hear the details about the bank bail-out. That should be around three times the size. I can't wait to hear the Tax Cheating Treasury Secretary, Tim Geitner, explain this.
But what's really pissing me off today is the fact that these bastards in the legislative branch are ramrodding this "PORKULOUS PACKAGE" through without a moment of consideration. They, themselves haven't even read the damned thing... Boehner Floor Speech
What do you think is hiding in this midnight bill from Speaker Bella Polosi..."I want to suck your wallet"? How about Nationalized Healthcare? Please read the great article from Betsy McCaughey - Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan! I bet you didn't know that was in there!
Need More? Well the Federal Government has their share of spending...
$5.5 billion for making federal buildings "green" (including $448 million for the Department of Homeland Security's headquarters)
$198 million to design and furnish the DHS headquarters
$200 million for workplace safety in Department of Agriculture facilities
$75 million for the Smithsonian Institution
$300 million more for hybrid and electric cars for federal employees
$180 million for construction of Bureau of Land Management facilities
$500 million for wildland fire management
$110 million for construction for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
$522 million for construction for the Bureau of Indian Affairs
$412 million for Centers for Disease Control headquarters
$500 million earmark for National Institutes of Health facilities in Bethesda, Maryland
$100 million for constructing U.S. Marshall's office buildings
$300 million for constructing Federal Bureau of Investigation office buildings
$800 million for constructing Federal Prison System buildings and facilities
$307 million for constructing National Institute for Standards and Technology office buildings
$1 billion for administrative costs and construction of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration office buildings
Those are just few samples, there's much more in there. Now don't get me wrong; some of that sounds like a good idea. However, half of this spending won't begin till 2010. So, that's going to help us how? It had to be passed immediately without delay? How much of this will actually help "stimulate the economy"? Most of this stuff is Viagra® for Liberal Democrat pet projects and after this, they'll have to be calling their doctors after 4 hours!
GIVE ME A BREAK!
Businessweek has a pretty decent breakdown here. Keep in mind while reading that this stuff is supposed to stop the bleeding in our economy and create real jobs for the now and the future.
A little math before we start...
If you spent one million dollars each day, from the time of Jesus' birth till today, you would not yet hit a TRILLION dollars.
Let's do the math together, shall we?
2,009
x 365
733,285
1,000,000
x 733,285
733,285,000,000
