Where can I find a list of what is in the "stimulus package" and who put it there?

Why isn't Obama steaming mad about all the pork in this so called stimulus bill.

We have people like Pelosi adding $150MM for condoms in the bill!

Can someone tell me how $1.5B for sex ed in Africa will help stimulate the economy... these Representatives and Senators should be exposed, if not impeached immediately. They are wasting time and OUR money during a "crisis!"

I don't know about you, but I am angry!

    * Less than $4 billion would enter the economy before 2010

    * And less than $15 billion would be spent before 2013

    If past recessions are any guide an economic recovery could begin, naturally, by the end of this year. This means that most of the spending proposed in the so-called stimulus package will come too late to serve its supposed purpose.

    Obama has NOT complained about all the pork!

    We have a certain general that tells us that condoms reduce the chance of teen pregnancy.

    These numbers sound huge, but George W. Bush increased our national debt by 5 TRILLION over his two terms. 1.5Billion is 0.03% of that. Obama could spend that much every day for 8 years and he still wouldn't reach bush's $5 Trillion.
