Stimulus Bill. Have you read it? Do you care?

Earlier today, the House of Representatives passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and the Senate is expected to pass it tonight. From there it heads to President Obama for his signature (no doubt this signing will be a Kodak moment) and the funds will be doled out accordingly. Do you know where or to whom?

I don't. I'll admit it. I seriously doubt if many of our congress men and women have read it either. Just vote yes because you're a democrat or just vote no because you're a republican is no doubt the mindset if not mantra amongst those in the big building in DC. Except of course for the 3 Republican's that were needed to pass the bill in the Senate and I'm sure they're expecting some quid pro quo for their efforts (if they didn't get substantial PORK in the stimulus bill).

Since we need to be informed, please take a few hours and read the following. Get some coffee and jab a needle in your leg periodically to ensure you stay awake.

Stimulus Bill Part A (496 pages)
Stimulus Bill Part B (575 pages)

I'm seriously loading both documents now and plan to browse through them. Updates to follow.
