more about the stimulus bill
I decided that I would write more about the new stimulus plan in this blog. Something had to be done, but a lot of money seems like its being spent just on stuff to get politicians reelected. It seems like there is a ton of money that is going to spent on special projects and stuff. I think in the orginal bill, this stuff has since been taken out, but in the original bill there was hundreds of millions of dollars that was going to be going towards stuff like birth control. It didn't make much sense that that stuff was in this bill. I thought that they were going to quit doing that? Realisitcally, all that earmark stuff is probably never gonna stop. Earmarks can really help a politician out if they're struggling to get re-elected. Apparently, the bill was so huge that none of the politicians ever even had a chance to read it. I don't really know a lot about how that stuff works, but how do they create such an enormous bill in a short amount of time. It doesn't seem like they spent that much time creating this massive bill. It seems like it would take years to create a bill as huge as that, but this one was created in just a few weeks.
