Obama signs bill extending kids health insurance

I am all about health care for children, but SCHIP is not the way to do it.
 
Oh, my friend sent me this...

Just know your money is being put to good use.

Stimulus bill expenditures:

$100,000 for doorbells.
$600,000,000 for nature trails.
$500,000 for a dog park
$386,000,000 for a convention center hotel in Dallas (my backyard), yay for local pork (at $100,000 per job created, it's one of the cheaper line items though).
$500,000,000 for solar water heaters in Puerto Rico.
$2,463,000,000 for 10 miles of transit line in Miami, creating a whopping 400 jobs ($6,000,000 per job...I want one of those).
$500,000,000 for SHRA...aka ACORN pork. Obama gives back.
$16,000,000 for a flood control system in Hartford...a real live infrastructure project, wow. And it's relatively cheap.
$532,000,000 for a 100MW solar power plant in New Mexico ($5.32 million per megawatt vs. $1.75 million per megawatt for coal, actually not too bad)
$950,000,000 for a bridge replacement on I -74. A billion dollars for a bridge?
