Thanks for posting that link. I am a little concerned about the $81B for "Protecting the Vulnerable". I'd say that I need some dough due to the fact that I'm emotionally vulnerable.

Also the $8B for "Other" is a little vague. If it was $8 million I wouldn't give it a second thought, but BILLION is really big. One billion is a huge number, never mind 8 times that amount. That's a lot of cash for "other".

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

So far it's just a site. FYI, my 16year old could make it in one afternoon.

It's what get's put on it that will be the substance. The money hasn't been distributed and worse, we don't know how we are paying for it.

Likwid, You have a nice glow about you when you win one

thats awesome, I am impressed. They should put up a graph that identifies how many jobs created vs. every dollar spent.

I would like to see the jobs to dollar ration too, overall and within category. Also, how many are gvmint jobs. Much rather see private companies bidding to provide services with how many US citizens they employ in doing so.

That little" jobs saved" line has been added to the talking points. They are a slick bunch, I'll give them that. Can't track that jobs have been saved.

Because you know so much about web dev, especially sites of that (potential) scale right? Right. You must be a manager at like... akamai or something right? Right.

$ 288 Billion in tax cuts

$786 Billion all other
______
1 Trillion with intersest

I understand to measure a trillion you would need to pile $1,000 dollar bills one on top of each other reaching 67 and 1/2 miles high.

Still another 2 Trillion to go.

Chump change.
