REINVESTMENT ACT(the so-called “stimulus” package)

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!

THE ECONOMY

WHY did you throw water

on the grease fire??

I HAD to do SOMETHING!

But WATER on a GREASE

fire?

Well there was this guy from

Chicago telling me it would be

irresponsible not to do it.

He said, “Quick, sign this and I’ll fix everything.”

What did you

sign?

$198 million in lump-sum payments to aging Filipino veterans of World War

II, $650 million for TV converter boxes, $1 billion to deal with census

problems, $88 million to help move the Public Health Service into a new

building, $2.1 billion to pay off a shortfall in public housing accounts,

$30 million to save Nancy Pelosi’s mouse...

mouse, and Nationalized Health Care, and...
