Milwaukee Public Schools would reap $88.6 million over two years for new construction under the economic stimulus package just passed by the U.S. House of Representatives - even though the district has 15 vacant school buildings, a large surplus of property and no plans for new construction. No district in the state would stand to benefit as much as MPS. In addition to the construction money, the district would get $115.5 million for special education and low income students over two years, according to detailed projections developed by congressional staffers. That totals $204.2 million for Milwaukee. http://www.allamericanblogger.com/6469/wisconsin-school-with-15-vacant-school-buildings-a-large-surplus-of-property-and-no-plans-for-new-construction-to-receive-886-million-over-two-years-for-new-construction-under-the/ Hey trout good to see you aren't busy digging your bunker today. My solution is simple, take out the pork and put in real stimulus that attacke the problem...mortgage relief, encourage consumer spending, tax relief and sustainable jobs. By the way, the TARP act was a democratic bill, only 18 Republicans voted for it in the house, Bush signed it and he should have his azz kicked for it. Please try to keep up in the future.

This whole stimulus bill is NOTHING more than a spending bill. The Dem. are going to see if they can out spend Bush. And WE get to pay for all of it.

Where were you when Bush printed 1,500 billion dollars in a few months to save the insurance companies from extinction because the banks needed to buy out the mortgages of people they already kicked out ? When Bush turned the tax payer upside down shook him -- took out 1,500 billion handed it to the bank to buy property with --- where were you then ? Yes this turning to the printing press is the way to hyper inflation and the complete collapse of the dollar and the economy. Yes Obama is following the wrong path by doing it too . He is wrong to follow the Bush path into hell blazed for him by crooks and thieves who did nothing but profit off death and war . What is your suggestion ? What should he do ? Perhaps -- taking back the federal governments power to print money and circulating that without interest into the population? Or should he continue to allow the federal reserve to print it and then loan that to the government thus ensuring the slavery of the people to the corporate and privately owned bankers who rule over you with no trouble at all ? Your complaint is well founded but incomplete and with no solution in sight -- What is your solution ? . What would you have him do that was not following the Bush era of turning to the printing press to save the rich from certain inconvenience ?

Pelosi is in charge of the so called stimulus package and has her and the liberals christmas wish list that they couldn't pass the last forty years. it is a sham and it is being perpetrated on us, the tax payers. Nancy Pelosi seems to be taking exaggeration to another level. On January 18th on Fox News Sunday, Nancy Pelosi stated that 500 million jobs would be lost unless Obamas stimulus package was passed by Congress. Chris Wallace corrected her, stating she probably meant 500,000 jobs. Pelosi responded in her own defense, It feels like 500 million. The population of the United States is 303 million, Ms. Pelosi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVl2nqjLVeA This is worst than the 57-58 states Barrack spoke about while running for president. It goes to show you that they just make this stuff up as they go. There are less than 350 millions of Americans adults and children. She is not even close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDA0QRz1JzE&NR=1 democrats has the majority of votes to pass this and do not need republicans but they want republican to vote for it so blame can be 'shared' for the failure. they do not want to take the blame exclusively. this is the only thing that i agree with pelosi on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59q8waklXhs

Let's hope the GOP is able to strip out the lard. I think these kinds of expenditures are under the guise of Community reinvestments. ACORN and the like. In my opinion, they are kick backs from Obama and gang
