Why the Stimulus Package Won't Work

Upon watching the news, I discovered that the $825 billion Stimulus Package passed. Every Democrat voted for the bill, but, to my dismay, it appeared no Republican voted for it. With that, I could only see the inevitable failure of the bill, as so much money doesn't seem to actually stimulate anything (and if it does, I would really like to hear such insane logic).

Here is just a few things that I do not see stimulating the economy: giving millions of dollars towards more free contraceptives, NASA being paid to conduct tests on climate change, rehabilitating the National mall, switching old cars with more fuel-efficient cars, and the list goes on and on.

Quite frankly, I believe Vice-President Joe Biden put it better than I could, "If you notice, roughly 40 percent of this entire package is tax cuts." What this means is that the other 60 percent is nothing but more and more and more government spending on worthless projects that would be better left for the private sector to undergo as they please. The hard-earned taxpayers' money has been amounted to nothing but mere confetti that the government throws up in the air to amuse everyone. Problem is, this time it's not so amusing.
