The Only Energy Efficiency Conservation Site You'll Ever Need

Is this a stimulus or just a spending bill?

* $600 Million To Buy New Cars For Government Workers (Page 89). These cars would be “green” friendly cars – however very few gas pumps have the right gas to run these cars. The Federal government already spends $3.5 billion a year.

* $10M for bike and walking trails (Page 65)

* $200M for plug-in car stations (Page 31)

* $400 million for NASA scientists to conduct climate change research (Page 22)

* $800 million to clean up Superfund sites (Page 122)

* $600 million for grants for diesel emission reduction (Page 119)

* $650 million for “alternative energy technologies, energy efficiency enhancements and deferred maintenance at Federal facilities” (Page 119)

* $1.5 billion for construction of “Green Schools” (Page 176)
* $1 billion to the controversial COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES COPS Hiring Program
* $83 billion for the earned income credit for people who don’t pay income tax.

* $246 million for Hollywood

* $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts (Page 122)

* $75 million for smoking cessation (Page 148). This contradicts the latest version of SCHIP that is funded largely by new taxes on cigarettes.

* $4.19 billion open to ACORN. The Pelosi-Reid bill makes groups like ACORN eligible for a $4.19 billion pot of money for “neighborhood stabilization activities.”
* $54 billion will go to federal programs that the Office of Management and Budget or the Government Accountability Office have already criticized as “ineffective” or unable to pass basic financial audits.

* $462 Million for Equipment, Construction, and Renovation of Facilities at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) (Page 137)

* $150 Million for Repairs to Smithsonian Institution Facilities (Page 128)

* $44 million to the Agricultural Research Service (Page 135)

* $227 million for oversight of the pork barrel spending in the stimulus (Page 11)

* $1 Billion for The Follow-Up To The 2010 Census (Page 49)

Now is this just a stimulus package or has Obama finally shown that he won’t keep up on his promises. you tell me.
There is enough pork in here to end world hunger. plus with the last bailout most people spent their checks on mortgages NOT the economy.

What ever happened to no pork. Or is it a stimulus you decide.?

ah he wouldn’t give up meat when he has his hundred dollar steaks.
If you wanted to. Google pork in the new stimulus bill. It should be in the first or second page.
are you serious? This is the NEW stimulus package. The last one was checks that went to the families. That stimulated more than this ever will. So words directly from the bill is all propaganda now is it? Maybe you were using a liberal search engine. We have to information to back us up. We are just making it all up. The democrats aren’t dishonest(both parties have people who are), they don’t try and put 90% of a 1 trillion as pork.
