Another Reason Republican Suck and Democrats are Pansies
Rove (and other Republicans) mocked the inclusion of preparing for a pandemic in the stimulus bill. I hope they all get swine flu!
But hey, Democrats caved and removed it instead of moving forward with the original (now visionary) idea. So they can get the swine flu, too... the pansies.

Where is the Stimulus Money Going?
Anyone interested in a high-level breakdown of exactly where the stimulus money is being spent, check it out here. Here are a few highlights (or low lights, I s'pose, depending on your position on all of this):
Aid to People Affected by Economic Downturn is $36 billion... Aid to State and Local Governments, most of which is targeted at people affected by the economic downturn, gets $58 billion.
Transportation and Infrastructure, one of the areas I think can do the most good in the long-term, gets $98 billion. Health Care comes in at $18 billion, Education is allotted $48 billion and Energy $41 billion.
Science & Technology receives $13 billion (nice, would've liked to see more here, but some of the Energy apportionment could rightly be lumped here, too).
And Business gets $870 million (a very small portion of the stimulus... about 1% actually).
