On the economic stimulus

It’s a good idea that has, expectedly, continued the divide among politicians. When will these stuffed suits in Washington who are elected and paid to represent their constituents wake up and realize that when a clear majority of Americans approve something, they should represent us and do the same. It’s unfortunate that the half-a-foot thick bill is probably chock full of stupid projects and other bullshit but when money is spent, people are employed and they spend the money paid to them. It’s a neat little cycle. Oh, yeah, going “green” is also stimulating to the economy because those initiatives cost money to implement and result in longterm savings that people will, wait for it, spend in other places down the road. More money freed up from monthly expenses is always good.
