Stimulate Me!

There are lots of issues with the stimulus package. One thing I am surprised at is how many democrats are pointing out that this is insane... Well, democrats who aren't in Congress. I came across an article on CNN which sums up some of these issues. To sum it up, parts of the bill are down right dumb, and racist... Now I don't jump on the whole racist train, and think that his argument is down right stupid, and reactionary. That said, $335 million to prevent sexually transmitted diseases? Are you serious? I get the idea behind the stimulus bill. Throw money into the market, and hopefully that will make everything ok. There are some basic issues about that idea, but I'm not talking about it today. Assuming that the way to get out of our current economic issues by doing the same things that caused it, spending a shit ton of money we don't have, lets actually do that. If the right thing to do is throw money at the problem, for the love of God, throw money at the problem. Instead of doing that, we are throwing in a shit-ton of other programs, and can't figure out why people think Congress is worthless. Now I haven't read the bill, and have done little research on the issue, but one thing seems pretty clear; Democrats, you have sold the idiotic idea of massive government spending... So actually do it. Stop mucking about with all the other crap.
