Reclaim Conservatism

Orlando over at Fort Hard Knox has a post about the Porkulus (Stimulus) Bill which I have affectionately called the “Obama Kick Back Bill”.  It is not a stimulus bill at all, it is a way to pay back his voters. As we in Illinois call it “The Chicago Way”.   Just ask Blogojevich about it, he will be singing like a canary soon, he is not going to go down by himself, h will bring others down with him.

But now to all the goodies going to Obama’s voters,  via Fort Hard Knox:

• Only 12 cents out of every dollar is for growth stimuli (which doesn’t go into effect for years in some cases)
• $600 million is to buy themselves new “green” cars (even though they already spend $3 billion per year)
• $252 billion is for people who do nothing: $81 billion for Medicaid, $36 billion for unemployment benefits, $20 billion for food stamps, and $83 billion for people who don’t pay income tax
• $54 billion will go to “ineffective” government programs (reported by the Office of Management and Budget or the Government Accountability Office)
• $66 billion goes to the Department of Education

It gets worse.  According to CNS News and Fox News:

• $500 per worker and $1,000 per couple including illegal aliens since social security numbers can’t be checked
• $335 million for STDs
• $4.19 billion in “neighborhood stabilization activities” such as ACORN
• $10 million for bike and walking trails
• $200 million for plug-in car stations
• $400 million for climate change research
• $600 million for grants for diesel emission reduction
• $650 million for “alternative energy technologies”
• $1.5 billion for construction of “green schools”
• $2.7 billion would go toward embryonic stem cell experimentation
• $75 million for smoking cessation
• $246 million over 11 years for investors in big budget movie projects
• $50 billion to the National Endowment for the Art
• $150 million for bees called “honey insurance”
• $20 million for “fish barriers”

I am still trying to figure out how this will stimulate antything other than the Machine that gotObama elected.
