This is not stimulus, but pork and waste

It is sad that YOUR politicians are using our current economic crisis to get their pet projects passed. It is a spending plan that will cost your children and grandchildren their economic security. President Obama promised "CHANGE". But what is different about this stimulus package? Nothing. It is the same old stuff. Here is what YOUR politicians want to spend YOUR money on:
$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts (What job will that get you?)
$1 billion for Amtrak, which hasn't turned a profit in 40 years (How does that help you?)
$400 million for global-warming research (I thought Al Gore said that it was a done deal. Will that get you a job?)
$2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects (Can your Senator tell you even what that is? I doubt it. They should not approve something that they cannot explain.)
$600 million more for the federal government to buy new cars
The Smithsonian is targeted to receive $150 million (Is that a job creator?)
$4 billion for community activist programs such as ACORN (What job is that? Voter registration? A few months a year? Pounding the street?)
$25 million for new ATV trails (Is this something we NEED? No. we WANT it.)
$150 million for honey bee insurance (What exactly is this? We may need honey bees, but how does this stimulate the economy?)
$20 million for fish barriers ( I have no idea what this is. A net?)

According to the Wall Street Journal, about 12 cents of every $1, is for something that can plausibly be considered a growth stimulus. That means that 82% is waste and will do nothing to help you in your struggle. Call your Senator today. http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
