Stim-who-less??

OH MY GOSH! THE WORLD IS GOING TO END UNLESS WE PASS THIS STIMILUS! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sound familiar? It is a condensed version of what is comming out of Washington to the American people. Well, at least from the White House and Congressional Democrats. But why all of the urgency? Admittidly there are a lot of people who are really hurting right now, but why do we need to pass this stimilus NOW?

The answer is simple, selfish, and political. The answer is because they do not want you to know what is in the package.

When $825 Billion dollars is spent, it would make sense to go through the bill and make sure that every program, project, and expendature will not be futile, costly in the future, and worth while. How could this be done if the process it rushed?

In closing, I have a few questions to ask. First, why use a spending stimilus as opposed to a tax break stimilus? what are the advantages and disadvantages to both?
Why rush the process and push using political power instead of allowing for full and public review?
Why is spending on non-longterm projects so large, and how is it different than pork barrel spending?
Why are things like 'Preparing America for Socialized Healthcare' and Abortion Funding included in a stimilus package?

Please, as always, ask yourself these questions honestly, objectively, and with as much information as possible.
