Joe, I did research the use of the stimulus money. Here are the ones that I feel will best "stimulate" the economy:

$650,000,000 to switch analog TVs to digital TVs......$15,000,000,000 for Pell grants....$2 billion for federal child-care block grants....$300 million to combat violence against women...$50 million for the NEA.....$4.2 billion for "neighborhood Stabilization activities"....$200 million to fix the National Mall.....$150 million to fix up the Smithsonian.....$500 million to fix up the National Institute of Health.......$200 million on "climate research missions" by NASA......$88 million to move the Public Health Service into a new building......$600 million to convert the federal auto fleet to hybrids.....$850 million for AMTRAK.......$87 million for an ice breaking ship......$7.6 billion for rural community advancement programs.....$100 million for National School Lunches...$71,000 to see how monkeys react to cocaine..$1 million to study Asian ants.....$300,000 to see if yoga reduces hot flashes(my wife told me "no" for free)......$181,000 to see if drugs affect sex drive of Japanese quail.....$500,000 to replace windows in Mt. St Helens Visitor Center(oops, the center is closed)....$400 million for a nutrition program(that is already sitting on $125 million in a "rainy day fund")......$1.5 million for a guard rail around a non-existent lake in OK....$233,000 to study how Africans vote.....$325,000 to study the mating of cactus bugs...$100,000 for a socially conscious puppet show.....$3.4 million to build a "turtle crossing" in FL.....$210,000 to study learning patterns of bees...$30 million for a spring training complex.....$500,000 to study social networks.and finally, my favorite $219,000 to study the sex patterns of female freshmen. These are only a tip of the stimulus iceberg. Now, Joe, even you can hardly justify any of the above "stimulus" projects. I'm going to ask for $650,000 to study how I can more quickly chill beer to the optimal temperature of 38 degrees. I'll share my study results with you.
