"Bipartisan Stimulus" the Worst Yet

Just in case anybody out there needed any indication that our representatives in Washington have absolutely no clue as to what they're doing on a daily basis, this should be the ultimate evidence.

Trying to go through this big pile of garbage line by line, these two (Republican) morons have sat down and decreased the amount of real, actual, short-term stimulative spending by over 70%.

There is almost no money left at all out of the direct spending portion of this bill that is going to see the light of day inside of the next 12 months.

If there is anybody left out there that thinks the purpose of this bill is to do anything other than to hyperinflate the size and power of the federal government, I dare you to challenge me.

Looks like Reid got the money for the new Vegas VA hospital. Groundbreaking took place several years ago and design was being worked on (?) ever since.
