$400 million for screening and prevention of STD's, including HIV
$1.5 billion for "Homelessness Prevention Fund"

Face it - barry is nothing but a fraud. He has no intention of doing what is right for America and for Americans. The sole purpose of this bill is to enable democrats to retain power.

barry is nothing but a hand puppet for Pelosi and Reid.

Well the last money to the banks hasn't stimulated anything yet, maybe if we gave all this trillion to them also, that they might lend it to us?

This crap that the Majority Leader is spouting about wanting the new stimulus to go to homeowners is crap!! He figures that if they can get rid of all the money in it that is going to places other than the banks, the banks will get it.
If he fails to do that, then he will fight the bill coming up for housing only (the opposite of what he is doing now) and try to filibuster it.

Just what are they planning for housing anyway? We don't need any more new housing or commercial building for a year or two!
Will you have to have a down payment and a good job to get one of the new loans? Or, will it all go to upper class wage earners as they wish?

"$350 million to develop and maintain a "broadband inventory map" at the Department of Commerce."

President Obama is trying to appoint Republican Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire as The Secretary of Commerce, but your new "leadership" in Michael Steele is fighting for Gregg not to take a cabinet seat. Are you guys serious? So I guess you will never know how the Department of Commerce can become more efficient via broadband, since your guys are choosing to stay on the outside looking in through a little bitty window.

$350 million is all you can comment on.. REALLY..
The other BILLIONS are good right..

I don't see Speaker Pelosi's contraceptive thingy! Has that one silently drop off the radar.

Obama called them and told them to drop it.

Do you text the President often?

I read about it in FOX News:

"Democratic leaders in the House have dropped federal funding for new contraceptive services and ongoing programs to stop sexually transmitted diseases from the $825 billion economic stimulus bill due to hit the floor Tuesday. The decision came after President Obama called Democratic leaders to tell them that the $200 million set-aside does not comport with the objectives of the job creation package."

House Dems Axe Birth Control Funds From Stimulus Bill

Well I suppose that's why I'm just a minor league player on things political.

It's hard for me to read FOX too.

I don't know what world these Repub's live in but it is not the real world. I guess they are like the CEO'S of this world, they just don't get it and probably never will. Poor Fred, he is just going to be miserable for the next 4 years. I wonder if he wouldn't be much happier in Alaska. I'm sure whats her name, would just love to have another Alaskan citizen that thinks like she does.

Sporting my Steeler's t-shirt loudly and proudly!

Make that 8 + years of misery for "fred" and his oppositionist brothers and sisters. Why do I say this?

Get this! Mitch McConnell of Kansas, the minority leader in the Senate, feels Claire McCaskill of Missouri is off base for suggesting businesses we bail out should not be allowed to give bonuses or unrestrained salaries to their failed execs. He said it sends the wrong message and gives the government too much control over the affairs of these businesses.

So, from the leader of the GOP, (Rush not withstanding), businesses that would not exist if not for the government loans they grovelled for should be able to pay bonuses and whatever salaries they wish with those taxpayer funds....

Mitch, Mitch, Mitch! Enjoy the wilderness.

Fine. Limit the pay and watch the executives leave and go work for companies that don't have a salary cap.

The company that received the bailout funds will falter and all of our tax dollars that were used to bail out the company will go down the tubes.

Not very bright of ol' Claire.

Vote NO on the So-called "Economic Stimulus" Bill

You know how to tell if someone is a Socialist.. just read below..
When the Goverment gets all they can from " THE FILTHY RICH" then who is next? They are.. I say they are.. because I would have long since pulled out from the grid and gone native.. I will survive.. I somehow doubt Diva and the rest of the like minders will be able to...

"Fine. Limit the pay and watch the executives leave and go work for companies that don't have a salary cap."

Who would have thought that there were so many executive jobs with unlimited compensation available for immediate occupancy. And those jobs are being reserved for execs currently running failed or failing companies. This probably sounds realistic to you.

There are only a very, very few "producers" out of the 300 million people in the country and if we make them angry they're going to slip off into their mountain retreat and leave the rest of us helpless. They think Atlas Shrugged is an historical novel instead of fiction.
