Monday, February 2, 2009  What Do You Believe Will Stimulate The
Economy?  This is a list of what makes up the Economic Stimulus
Plan according to Associated Press. I don't understand where
most of this package will help stimulate the economy. Wouldn't
it be more prudent to stimulate the economy and then we'll look
at some of the other fluff that is included in this plan? I
don't believe this plan as it currently stands will help. I have
to laugh when I read it as it's just more of the same that got
us to where we currently stand (and that's not in anything but
hot water). Highlights of Economic Recovery Plan  $20 billion +
Renewable energy tax cuts and a tax credit for research and
development on energy-related work, and a multiyear extension of
renewable energy production tax credit $6 billion Funding to
weatherize modest-income homes  Science and Technology $10
billion Science facilities  $32 billion Transportation projects
$19 billion Water projects $10 billion Rail and mass transit
projects  $41 billion
