I think it's a mistake to rehash the 2020 election again. It's over. It's dawned. We lost.

by number of sources- I rise to discuss the economic stimulus package. First of all, my friend from South Carolina has raised so many valid points in his discussion. I know he has an amendment that is primarily focused on reduction of taxes to stimulate this economy, create jobs, and put more money into people's pockets. I concur with him 100 percent that this is the direction in which we need to go. I look forward to further debate on his amendment and seeing his amendment reach the floor. This stimulus package we are now debating gets more expensive and, frankly, less stimulating with every passing day. The Democrat's plan is not a job creating bill. Plain and simple, in its current form it is a spending bill. We have been going through a number of amendments over the last several days and I am pleased to see that some of those amendments have had success. I think the bill looks somewhat better, but we still have a long way to go. This bill should not be about pet projects. Instead of wasting $600 million, for example, of hard-earned taxpayer money for new cars for the Federal Government or $650 million for a failed digital TV transition program or even $120 million for the Census Bureau to hire personnel who specialize in 'partnerships,' we should be spending Americans' money on creating jobs for Americans. These jobs should allow Americans to go out and buy new cars themselves and thereby stimulate and energize a very struggling automobile industry.2 sources2009govinfo.gov

(3) The Federal Government collects, creates, manages, and protects classified and sensitive but unclassified information to enhance homeland (4) Some homeland security information is needed by the State and local personnel to prevent and prepare for terrorist attack. (5) The needs of State and local personnel to have access to relevant homeland security information to combat terrorism must be reconciled with the need to preserve the protected status of such information and to protect the sources and methods used to acquire such information. (6) Granting security clearances to certain State and local personnel is one way to facilitate the sharing of information regarding specific terrorist threats among Federal, State, and local levels of government.2 sources2002govinfo.gov
