Who dishes out the dinero? And I don’t know anyone, or any organization, who is capable of keeping the process clean. Certainly not the FBI.

Except for the pay to not work part, nothing about the other ridiculous stuff thrown in by the dems such as money for PBS or National Endowment of the Farts. Typical media cover for the dems.

Agreed. Help for 500,000 Indian H1Bs and H4EADs to remain in the US? While Americans are laid-off? The Indian Tech Lobby must have greased Pelosi’s pockets well.

Didn’t this start off as an $800MM stimulus? How did it nearly triple in size, when the Dem’s dreambill was supposedly shot down?
