Details about the U.S. House economic stimulus bill have just been released. The legislation, called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009 has all kinds of goodies for almost every special interest. Here’s the report language for the bill (provides a detailed summary).
The House Appropriations Committee released this press release/summary
that also lists all the wonderful things that our taxpayer dollars will
help fund. If you can think of it, taxpayers are probably going
to pay for it.
The House Appropriations Committee Minority web site (i.e. Republicans on the Committee) released this fact sheet on the bill. Rep. Lewis, who is the ranking member of the committee, issued this press release earlier today.
The bill should be called the “No Special Interest Left Behind Act.”
If you don’t care about the economy and only care about yourself: Hurry
to DC now like the home builders and make sure you get your money
too. Don’t Delay! This special offer won’t last long!*
*You may have to wait at least three whole months before you get another chance like this!
