Just who's getting stimulated by Obama's plan?

Does anyone REALLY believe that $200 million a piece for NASA and NOAA to study global warming is going to stimulate the economy? And how about that $650 million for digital TV coupons and $6.2 billion for a weatherization assistance program? I feel better about the future already.

Update:

OMG, you guys are cracking me up!!

    This is not a stimulus plan, it is a spending and government growing program. This is Obama's first step to taking over America. When America crumbles he will blame all of us for our bickering and point fingers else where, sort of like what he is doing right now with the stimulus package.

    Obama’s 3 Big Lies His Plan to Destroy the GOP Let me tell you the real reason Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid pushed through the biggest spending bill in history – without proper debate, without Republican input, and without any public scrutiny at all. Simply, they are trying to turn the United States into a one-party country and to put the Republican Party out of business once and for all. The massive appropriation called a stimulus – some $787 billion of your money – is really a political war chest for the Democrats. They want to change the face of American politics forever, and they want to use your taxpayer money to do it. They want to use billions from our treasury to reward their political friends – and have huge amounts of cash to dole out before the 2010 and 2012 elections. Some people have wondered why, if the country is in dire need of emergency “stimulus,” most of the money appropriated by this law will not even be spent this year. Instead, spending will go on for five to 10 years. There is no mystery here, as the answer is simple: These billions in taxpayer funds will fund the Democratic political machine for many years to come.

    It's certainly not me. The only thing he's stimulating are the pigs in Washington and those who scratched his back during his run for the White House. Obama and his cronies need to be thown in a pig sty, as much as they love pork.

    It's no wonder our government is in such a mess. Most people vote in someone without doing full research simply because it's their political party. When is America going to wake up and vote for a person with integrity, clean unquestionable background and knows how to run this country. We the people need more say in running our nation and less government trying to run it. It's clear, none of them know how.

    I want to know how bailing out the large companies that we the public pay on a regular basis helps the public? Wells Fargo is a privately owned profit earning banking institute. The company needs to bail itself out. So what if the share holders don't get paid. They have already made millions! When we bail out Wells Fargo will you still owe your Mortgage? Yes, you will. If you can't pay, will they foreclose on you? Yes they will. How did that help anyone besides big business.

    People it is not just Wells Fargo I used this example as they have been in the news. Do you really think they cancel led their Las Vegas jaunt?

    I know hidden somewhere in this package you will find more hammers and toilet seats being bought for 600 dollars apiece, if this package was being done by a corporation it would be at 1/4 of the cost...I would like to go through it item by item just to see how many of the projects in it are in a Democratic districts.

    Big Labor Unions, Trial Lawyers, and State and Federal employees.

    Because the main purpose of Obama's stimulus package, is payback for big campaign contributors, and to grow the size of government, and the number of people who depend on the government for income, and this will ensure liberalism will triumph for decades.

    Because we all know anyone who is a member of a labor union, or getting income from the government, votes for democrats, just ask any state, or federal worker, or any union member who they voted for.

    Obama is stimulating America the way Barry stimulated Larry when Larry Sinclair was in front of him.
