Bill Kristol give a perfect example of how imperfect the stimulus bill is this -
The stimulus bill the Democrats just rammed through Congress is $8 billion for high-speed rail. What makes this appropriation special is that there was no money for high-speed rail in the original House legislation. The Senate bill had $2 billion. The legislation coming out of conference "compromised" on $8 billion.
I'll take a similar offer from the county. Say my real estate assessment tax bill should be $1000. After a Congressional conference, it will be $3.
