GOV'T - Stimulus (Earmark Remix)

I Know What You Stimmed Last Summer. New Jack Stimmy. Fear and Loathing in Stim Vegas. Stimmy and Basketball.

The day after Obama addressed congress in an all encompassing speech, the House of Representatives passed another drastic measure in an attempt to halt the downward spiraling US economy. The bill, which is officially a 410 billion dollar "spending package" (how this differs from the stimulus in anything but wording is beyond me), is another ambitious attempt by the Obama administration to sure up the foundation of the fledgling economy.
Highlights from Stimmy 2:

- The US Justice Department gets 57.7 billion dollars, including 7.1 billion for the FBI in a bid to help the bureau hire 280 new agents and 271 analysts.
-Foreign Affairs monies run about 36.6 billion dollars, including 2.4 billion for Israel and 1.5 billion for Egypt.

But that's not all folks. The bill also alters America's long-standing embargo against Cuba. That's right! CUBA! The bill does not alter trade restrictions on Cuba. It does however ease restrictions on persons travelling to Cuba, as well as families trying to send money to relatives back in that Commie Death Trap.
And now, for my favorite earmark of the 410b spending package... drum roll please... A Representative of California managed to allocate $200,000 for a TATTOO REMOVAL program! Before all the neocons who read this blog get up in arms about bloated government spending, the only people eligible for the program are former gang members who wish to get Lasik removal of gang related tattoos. Guess I'm finally gettin that amor de rey off me back.
