Or, Porkulus: How the US Congress is going to spend more and more and more of your money

From jasoninthehouse:

" http://tinyurl.com/b7ojsj Here is the text of the "stimulus" bill. Just released #tcot "

If it's *so* urgent, why doesn't the bulk of spending kick in until the next 2-5 years?

Why are we spending money now on projects that won't get funding until 2015?

This isn't stimulus- this is pork^3 and appropriations bills for the next 4 or 5 sessions of Congress.

Perhaps someone should suggest a Bill that bans all further appropriations bills until 2015 (except defense and program authorizations).

An impact of a few Trillion. (No, not Trillian, the instant messenger aggregator. T-r-i-l-l-i-o-n). We're almost talking real money here.

And besides this stimulus bill, remember that Sec. Geithner is amenable to spending a trillion if necessary to "continue" to stabilize the financial sector. Of course, with your tax dollars, coming from the guy who skipped out of paying himself ....

Ugh
