While I agree that race has no place in how a stimulus plan is executed, I think the video commentary has some of that tasty Fox News-esque spin.

"Conspiring to FORCE SOCIAL ENGINEERING and WEALTH DISTRIBUTION"
This is suppose to be the punctuated point of the video when really it's the same collection of buzzwords the conservatives have been tirelessly using since the early days of the campaign. Also "Conspiring" implies they're trying to hoodwink the American people - CSPAN is probably not the best place to develop a conspiracy.

With regard to stimulus plans in general, they're a joke. A quick, feel-good, 'fix' that really has no long term benefits. And this goes for the Bush plan and now Obama's. A few hundred bucks isn't going to change that people are without jobs, or laid-off and in a new job making significantly less money. All that money will do is increase the US deficit and take money away from other areas that would actually be useful to the American people and the economy.
