If you listen to the conservative pundits, Obama's Spend-a-porkulus, is all about transfer of the economy from the private sector to the public sector and they are correct. But there is another reason for the bill one that make's it worthwhile to the liberals to pass a bill which, if it doesn't work, will drive their party out of power as quickly as they took over. But if this plan does work, it will keep the most liberal of Democrats in power for generations to come.
This plan represents the "best" of Chicago liberal politics as taught by the first Mayor Daley. Daley's chief means of attaining electoral success was his reliance on local captains, who marshaled and delivered votes on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. Many of these precinct captains held patronage jobs with the city, mostly minor posts at low pay. Their job was to dole out favors in the name of the Mayor.

2) Imagine spending the 600 billion dollars to finance 60 new nuclear plants and how that could impact their job prospects.
The saudis want to keep us as oil serfs. We have four times their researves in the lower 48 onshore. It would reboot our whole country.
Yes, it is a taxpayer funded patronage system, much as the community action agencies under the LBJ war on poverty was. As one black colleague out of the ghetto of Gary explained to me at the time: “The Irish got theirs, the Italians got theirs and now we’re going to get ours.” Now we have all three turning the national government into such a system.
Yep! Think about why the majority of the Billions will not be doled out until 2010 - 2012. Election years. They will dole out the money where they need votes to keep the socialist in power!
I have a suspicion the hidden purpose of this plan is to create a wealthy oligarchy ruling millions of subsistence people. You can easily guess who the wealthy oligarchs will be. We’ll be a state like North Korea.
