Barack Obama said in an editorial today that if his "stimulus" package was not passed, the United States might enter into an economic downturn out of which it might never rise. Soooo... What kinds of things is he recommending, in addition to the overall breach of the US Constitution, the retardation of real productivity, the incredible burden of debt, the movement of productive money into non-productive endeavors, and the inflationary pressures the increase in government-created money will inspire? Hmmm.. Well, how about these as a small sample?

$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, because, of course, without that, the economy will fail.

$850 million for "wildlife" programs.

$600 million for new cars for federal bureaucrats.

$34 million for the "refurbishing" of the Department of Commerce (hmm, will Juddy Gregg stop this?)

$200 million for electric car technology.

$1 billion for "community development" block grants.

$10 million to "refurbish low-income housing".

$4.19 billion to hand out to people for their mortgages.
