Where do you get anyone praising the holocaust? It was a hoprrible thing that happened, just like any other war, but at the same time the world population is part of the reason we are in this mess to begin with. There is not enough room or jobs available to sustain the worlds population and it is only getting worse.



As far as the rest of your post goes, we could quote back and forth all day with pork and spending that we agree and dont agree with. The simple fact is that much of this bill is spending and nothing more.

How many jobs will be opened by thowing 100M at STD prevention?
How many long term jobs will be opened up by 20M for fish barriers?

I am not saying that those things arent needed, I am just saying they dont belong in this bill.

The part about requiring American made steel I love and think they should go further. I think ALL facets of this bill should be contingent all materials being purchased with money from this bill be manufactured in the US.

I also agree with the repubican plan in reducing corporate tax rates to 5% with at least a portion of the money. Even 1 year at a 5% tax rate will help MANY businesses, both large and small.
