When you hear how this "stimulus" money is being dispensed, you have to wonder: How do these items/projects promote job growth or stimulate anything other than some "special-interest groups" wallets?
Over $300 million for "sexually transmitted diseases? (I won't even start on this one)

4 billion to ACORN? Talk about your "special interest groups"!

Exactly how does giving money to help build a new sports facility in Florida help the nations economy? Exactly how many NEW jobs will that create?

Giving money to build a duck pond in California is surely going to turn that state's economy around, RIGHT!

This stimulus package, as presented is like any other apporpriations bill in Washington..... full of Sh*t!!!!
It looks more and more like a "this is in appreciation for helping me get elected" gift to plenty of people that definitely don't deserve anything other than a one-way ride out of town.

This is like the obligatory office gift you HAVE to contribute to, for a coworker that you can't stand.

We (those who actually work for a living) are getting the royal screw job once again.
