US 'Economic Stimulus' Budget Review

[Don Corleone]

I couldnt' agree more. The whole goal of the stimulus is to stop hemoraghing of jobs, and deflation, in the economy, right? Well, we all know the industries that are losing jobs right now: construction, manufacturing, financial services and technology. Two industries that have actually held up pretty well? Health care and education.

So where is 66% of the stimulus money going? You guessed it... health care and education. So yeah, we're going to solve the economic problems by giving money to... those that don't currently need it.

You could argue financial services is covered under TARP, but construction, manufacturing and technology companies and workers? So sorry, you're not in the Democratic playbook.
