February 15, 200917 yr Sorry, not sure how I missed that. And I agree with what you have. My problem with it is what you listed, IMO, will not be enough to over come the rest of the garbage in the bill. I think the bill in its entirity will be failure at stimulating anything. They shoved every pet project they knew would fail otherwise and stuck it in. That is one of my problems with it. But my main issue with it the way it was pushed through. The Dems said they would allow 48 hours for the public to review what was in it before voting on it. They then turn around and vote it through less then 24 hours after reaching the final draft. I guess Pelois' trip to Rome was a little more important then the future of this country. I can understand your concerns. I don't profess to understand everything I've read. I read the link that, I believe, Clyde, posted in the other thread. As I said, I particularly like the grants to the individual states. As has been much discussed on this site, it's the theory of many that the states are better suitied to decide what's needed. If we want to get into how confident I feel that Kentucky will use the money wisely, well, that's another thread. :lol: I consider the provisions to help college students to be investments in the future. They immediately impact the economy in that I think that it enables more to afford a higher education. But, in reality, it is a longer term solution. Included in this is that students can also now claim computers and technology as educational expenses for deduction. I always thought it was strange that something every college student must have was not included. I don't profess to have any higher knowledge of enough importance to realistically draw a conclusion on the energy and aid to businesses sections of the bill. Even with the 48 hours that was promised, I'm not educated enough to know what would work, or not. I would like to see future legislation focus on cutting costs, so as to off-set the spending in this one. I believe we will see this, but probably not this year.

February 15, 200917 yr Well lets just get radical ! 1. NO foreign aid 2. Pull out of all foreign countries 3. Close all borders 4. Cut out all non essential programs 5. 10% tax across the board 6. $1000.00 tax per participant for all pro sports events (waste on power and transportation fuel cost) 7. $10.00 tax for all spectators for pro sports events (same as above) 8. No lobbying 9. No campaign donations from public or private (only set amount from govt.) 10. No bail outs (if you can't afford it, don't buy it) I'll stop , but this could go on and on.:popcorn: Alltell , Rockmom, you didn't comment on the above ideas? With the UN wanting 6 billion of the stimulus money to give to foriegn countries and the Datona 500 running today, my plan would have saved $6 billion and made about $2.5 million.
