I thought that the two stimuli were supposed to be about education, research and infastructure. You know, reforming and funding educational programs, giving our scientific research a shot in the arm and, not to forget, the so-called shovel-ready projects to improve our decaying infastructure. Don't get me wrong, all three of those things are critical, but if the money didn't go to them the first time, what makes anyone think that they'll go there again, especially with the fact that President Obama is likely using those projects as a ploy against Team R. These three items are popular across nearly all segments of the American voting public, but I'd be a fool to believe that any meaningful amount of money will ever get to them from yet another spending bill.
