Action Alert - Stimulus bill is the largest ever!

The new bill Congress is proposing and backed by the Democrats is the largest spending bill ever. This stimulus bill is equal to borrowing over $10,000 from every family in America.

Are you aware of the hidden liberal agenda in the Bill?

Here is a summary as described by Heritage.org

  • Over $142 Billion in Federal education funds: Nearly double the total outlays for the Dept. of Education in 2007 – making good on Reid-Pelosi-Obama education promises to the NEA.
  • $87 Billion Medicaid bailout: Medicaid is funded by a formula that matches state spending levels with federal dollars. If we keep bailing states out, they will have every incentive to continue irresponsible spending. Fiscally responsible taxpayers in Indiana are now paying for fiscally irresponsible bureaucrats in Illinois.
  • Expanded Medicaid coverage and SCHIP: Reid-Pelosi-Obama are enacting a nationalized health care policy with no debate. The government will soon be responsible for more health care spending than the private sector, i.e. socialized medicine.
  • Green Jobs?: The myth of ‘green jobs’ merely means replacing one job lost, with a new job that fits the left’s agenda. It is a zero sum game. More than doubling spending, the stimulus also has over $35 billion for the Dept. of Energy. DOE’s current budget is $23.8 billion.
  • Family Planning and birth control for children, immigrants and the wealthy, which could also be used as a backdoor to allow federal funding of abortions. How is this stimulus? **UPDATE: Nancy Pelosi agrees this is not stimulus and has removed it from the bill proving these measures are allergic to sunshine.** Redistribution: Refundable Tax Credits for people who don’t pay taxes.
  • Pork Spending: Digital TV Coupons ($650 Million), Gov’t Cars ($600 Million), Nat’l Endowment for the Arts ($50 Million), Repairs to National Mall ($200 Million, including $21m for sod).
Ideas suggested by Heritage.Org

1. Make the 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts permanent, instead of raising taxes in 2011; Reduce Marginal Tax Rates for Individuals and Businesses by 10% creating new jobs. Adopting just this one proposal would create between 500,000 and 1 million jobs in one year.

2. Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax & reduce the Death Tax to 15% ($5 mil. individual exclusion) Enact long-term reforms and budgets for entitlement spending., putting long-term obligations from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, front and center in the budget process.

3. Assess and enforce long term spending rules in Congress. Get us out of debt!

This piece of garbage is anything but a stimulus plan. The devious Liberal ideologues in charge are using scare tactics to jam social engineering down the citizenry's throat. If the CBO says that 75% of this idiot handout package will not be spent for 2.5 years and aside from the Great depression, and Jimmy Carter's administration, recessions have never lasted that long, what is the purpose of the Christmas tree? In economic terms, "stimulus" means, CREATE NEW JOBS nothing else. This load of malarkey does nothing of the short. However, this scam includes another ridiculously ginormous lie. The Democrats say to address the concerns of the Republicans; their bill includes $330 billion dollars in tax cuts. TAX CUTS????? There are no new tax cuts in the bill unless you consider not ending so of the cuts President Bush put into place. What the disgracefully disingenuous Democrats are referring to as a tax cut ($330 BILLION) are welfare hand out payments to 60 million Americans who do not pay one flat penny in Federal taxes!

The truth/ facts are something liberals refuse to acknowledge. Business make jobs, business and Capital Gains tax cuts spur the economy monetary stimulus, not fiscal stimulus spur the economy!

I do a lot of chorus, music and theatre stuff. I'm a musical kinda guy, but the Federal govt doesn't need to take money from hardworking Americans to pay for my hobbies. The same goes for those who like hugging trees. You like that sorta thing? Great, the Fed'l govt doesn't need to force others to pay for it.

Heritage has it right. Boehner et al need to start touting this kind of pro-market job creation when they go on Meet the Press. Heritage and other Conservative think tanks are here for a reason.
