Spendulous Bill

Ladies and gentlemen, I am a concerned American. After watching and listening for weeks on this so called 'Stimulus Plan', I've learned a few things.

First, it is about time that the Republicans stand up for fiscal responsibility. For too long they have failed us and spent millions of unnecessary tax dollars. They seem to finally be paying attention and listening to us Conservative Americans.

Second thought, how much of this bill is actually being spent on helping to create jobs. From my first glance at the 650 page bill http://www.rules.house.gov/111/LegText/111_hr1_text.pdf I don't have a full grasp of where all the funds are going. But here are a few that stuck out.

**$2,825,000,000 of which $1,000,000,000 shall be for Wireless Deployment
Grants and $1,825,000,000 shall be for Broadband Deployment Grants

**Federal Buildings Fund, $7,700,000,000 for real property activities
$1,000,000,000 shall be used for construction, repair, and
alteration of border facilities and land ports of entry; of
which not less than $6,000,000,000 shall be used for construction, repair, and alteration of Federal buildings for projects that will create the greatest impact on energy efficiency and conservation

**General Services Administration’s Motor Vehicle Acquisition and Motor Vehicle Leasing programs for the acquisition of motor vehicles, including plug-in and alternative fuel vehicles, $600,000,000

**National Mall in Washington, 9 DC, $200,000,000

**Not less than $335,000,000 shall be used as
an additional amount to carry out domestic HIV/
AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually-transmitted diseases

As I sit here watching CSPAN live I'm encouraged that much of the non-sense spending will be taken out of this bill. It is not to late to get involved and speak up. It is time that government listen to the people. We need to wise up, pay attention and stop acting like zombies when it comes to affairs that will impact our future.

I will do my part to stay informed and get involved with what government is doing. They need to be held accountable for bad decisions and they need to start serving the American people.
