What's in Obama's $825 billion "Stimulus" Package?

I know everyone is talking about Obama's stimulus package, but how are we allowing them to call it a "Stimulus" package. It is a ruse to hide billions of dollars for pork, special interest spending. He is driving the fear of Americans to place where we will accept anything he says, even spending 5.6% of the GDP from your tax dollars to fund his social programs and agenda. Don't be fooled. Read on if you want to be informed.

Source material: 13-page summary, Article explaining GDP

Let me give you some perspective on how much $825 billion is. If it were it's own country, we'll call it SODOMEE America (Socialist Obama Deception Of Magnanimously Expensive Economics), then it would have it's own GDP and stand in 20th place in the world, right in front of Australia. Not part of Australia, the entire country.

The official title of the bill is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009. The first line in the reads, "The economy is in a crisis not seen since the Great Depression." Sigh, what about the Carter years? I don't see people building little communities out of cardboard or tin like they did in the thirties. Anyway, I'll refrain from commenting for the next paragraph while I summarize this Obaminational document.

It states:
-"Since 2001, as worker productivity went up, 96% of the income growth in this country went to the wealthiest 10% of society. While they were benefitting from record high worker productivity, the remaining 90% of Americans were struggling to sustain their standard of living. They sustained it by borrowing… and borrowing… and borrowing, and when they couldn’t borrow anymore, the bottom fell out."
-"A historic level of transparency, oversight and accountability will help guarantee taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and Americans can see results for their investment."
-$30 billion for highway construction
-$10 billion for transit and rail to reduce traffic congestion and gas consumption
-$24.1 billion for health information technology and preventative care
-$102 billion for unemployment benefits, COBRA insurance subsidy, and food stamps
-$87 billion in Medicaid matching for states
-$52.65 billion in various energy and environment related spending
-$6 billion for broadband internet in rural areas
-$8.671 billion for various research in energy, space, agriculture and geology
-$880 million for small business loans
-$65 million in coupons to convert from analog to digital television
-$965 million to replace or improve IT in government facilities (SSA, Dept of Ag, etc)
-$9.96 billion for national defense improvements to healthcare, facilities, cemeteries and housing

Okay, you bored yet? Are you thinking, how long is this list? Let me just say that this is only page 7 of 13 and I summarized most of the specific spending. For those of you who don't believe me, read it yourself and you'll see I'm not lying. The basic numbers is this: $550 new spending and $275 in tax relief through SS payroll deductions.

Now for the fun part...

WHAT IN THE...WHO VOTED THIS GUY IN? STIMULUS? WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?! I DON'T SWING THAT WAY, STOP RAPING ME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!

**Remembers Happy Gilmore**
"In with the good air, block the bad. In with the good, block bad." Okay I'm better now.

This is NOT a stimulus plan. There is nothing in this bill that directly links this spending to actual numbers or alludes to any principle, not even Keynesian Economics. They believe, blindly I might add, that by spending more of your money, jobs will magically appear. If food stamps were humans, they would crap jobs.

Okay, let me explain a few things so you may understand why this is soooo freaking retarded. It is a simple supply and demand function. If people, businesses or employees, supply a service or produce a product (working a job) that someone else demands (sale) then the economy moves forward. The more supplying and demanding, the better the economy. So give job makers (businesses) an easier time and jobs will result.

Now, Obama, and the caving republicans are saying you don't have enough incentive (Keynesian principle) to make money, so that is why you don't work. I, conservatives, and the founding fathers believe that you have the incentive to work but the government's involvement retards this incentive. You want to eat? There's your incentive. Let me explain.

If corporate tax rates are the highest in the world of any modern country, which they are, then the business has less money (less incentive) to keep more employees. This money is now in the government's coffers and they think they can spend it better (that's laughable) than the business they just took the money from. So, now they have a large sum of money they didn't earn, from people who did, and get to decide how they want to distribute it amongst the masses for the "betterment" of people. Oh, and they subtract large salaries out of this pool to pay people to think about these decisions.

Does this make sense? They are making economic decisions with little or no economic experience, for people who are laboring in the economy as they ponder their liberal and socialistic agenda. Sounds like a nightmare. The only problem is, we're not dreaming.

Example: Congress now has oversight, a hand in, the big 3 auto companies and gets to tell them how to best make a car. People (Congress) who aren't in the car business telling them (GM, Chrysler, Ford) how to make and sell a car.

Class, repeat after me, "Retarded."

I'd sell off all my Big 3 stock if I were you because they are headed for far worse days. When you get in bed with the government, you find yourself chained there the following morning with a bad headache, wondering where your pants were and why you have a number for Frank.

Other than my crazy aversion to anything govern-mental, is the unrestrained gall of this administration to call this package a "stimulus" package. What's even worse, most people are happy or hopeful. Why isn't America grabbing their pitchforks and torches? Let's call this for what it is people; it's not a stimulus package, it's a reshaping of America package. They are taking your money and redistributing it to the tune of $825 BILLION and no one seems to care a rip.

So many people thought Obama was a centrist politician who would bring the people together. The reality, he has deceived 53% of America for their vote, McCain took the remaining 42% with his lies, and that leaves the remaining 5% wackos, to which I am now considered one of them. I voted JOE THE PLUMBER.

So, hats off to you America, if you allow this to happen, thanks for selling my freedom and the liberty of my unborn children. That is, of course, if the government will allow me to have kids.

Update: Even though the bill passed in the House, all republicans vote no. Good for you GOP. You finally grew some balls. Now, let's hope repubs in the Senate can do the same.

Retarded.

Don't forget about this little doozy on page 10: "Training Primary Care Providers: $600 to... prepare our country for universal health care..." Be afraid, be very afraid.

Also, regarding your statement, "When you get in bed with the government, you find yourself chained there the following morning with a bad headache, wondering where your pants were and why you have a number for Frank." That's just good stuff, Bro. HYPOTHETICAL HIGH FIVE...
