Just How Bad is The BS Package?

Well, based on recent facts (about a week ago), enormous amounts from the BS Package will be plowed into... non stimulus items. And, looking at the list, it seems most of these other items are projects and causes near and dear to the heart of many "progressives."

This includes:

• $650 million for digital-TV coupons - Since when did TV stimulate anything?
• $5.2 billion for community-development block grants and “neighborhood stabilization activities,” - ACORN will be eligible to apply for these.
• $600 million to convert the federal auto fleet to hybrids
• $450 million for NASA (carve-out for “climate-research missions”)
• $600 million for NOAA (carve-out for “climate modeling”) - They definitely need more money for climate modeling and climate research to explain why "global climate change" seems to be slowing or reversing course (not predicted by their models).
• $2 billion for renewable-energy research ($400 million just for global-warming research)
• $2 billion for a “clean coal” power plant in Illinois (because less CO2 is better? Yeah, right. See link below.)
• $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects - Try telling them that, based on science, it's not CO2, it's the SUN!
  

Take a look here for the full list. Yeah, keep trying to sell this BS as a 'stimulus package, progressives.
