Viewing the Stimulus Package, Part A

I decided to find out for myself what is in the Stimulus Package being debated. The version I’ve looked at is the version the House passed, and I can’t image the Senate version looks much better. Here is the results of Division A (the first 250 pages or so).

Things this package will not be used for: casinos and other gambling establishments, aquariums, zoos, golf courses, or swimming pools; any public work (airports, bridges, canals, dams, dikes, pipelines, railroads, mass transit, roads, etc) that does not purchase all iron and steel from within the U.S. (unless there simply isn’t enough iron available, or buying locally increases cost by 25% or more, or it is “in the best interest of the public” to buy abroad).

There Is Hope For The Church In America

I came across this and as a pro-life Catholic Democrat, I am very, very pleased with this.

Thank you Bishop Martino of Scranton, Pennsylvania!

“No, you may not stalk Hans Kung, although the offer is tempting.”
