Taken from the Bill

I'm just going to copy and paste from the Senate stimulus package and let you see if you think this will create jobs:

  • $200,000,000 - Department, other than the Forest Service, for necessary replacement, modernization, or upgrades of laboratories or other facilities to improve workplace safety and mission-area efficiencies as deemed appropriate by the Secretary:
  • $400,000,000 - farm ownership loans (lots of jobs to be had on farms nowadays!)
  • $275,000,000 - Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations
  • $65,000,000 - Watershed Rehabilitation Program
  • $100,000,000 - National School Lunch Program equipment assistance
  • $500,000,000 - SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FORWOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN (WIC)
I'm getting tired, and there's 756 pages to go...click on the link and check it out for yourself.
