Great. So now it stimulates the economy to prevent sexually transmitted disease? Does it stimulate the economy to the tune of $355 million smackeroos? Frankly, I think distributing free Viagra or Levitra would be rather more stimulating, in all senses.
Honestly, doesn't it seem like this is just a couple of hundred people (our congress and president) having fun spending money on the toys they have always wanted. And in the sense of the "stimulation" mentioned above, "toys" is a very dubious thing indeed... I did a quick calculation of how much money is being handed out, and if the LOW figure of $1 trillion is correct, it means that every single American is forking over $2200 to whomever their least favorite congressman wants to give the money to.
Could the government please stop stimulating us? It's beating me down too badly.

It's been a while. But with this new era of "Hope" and "Change" threatening us, I may have to vent occasionally by posting a few things here.
Like this item:
Pelosi says that contraceptives will help the economy.
Is she venal or clueless or both? Our economy is NOT based on contraceptives. It is based on (1) finance, (2) heavy industry, (3) a consumer service sector, (4) information flow. None of those are rooted in "contraception" as the solid ground which feeds them. In fact, one could argue that contraception diminishes the future size of the market for each of these sectors, but I will leave that for the present.
Idiot.
