The first would involve giving a rifle and five hundred rounds of ammo to every adult in the country. Just think of all the jobs this would create, not only at the firearms and ammo production facilities, but the gunsmiths who would be kept busy with replacing worn-out parts and installing all sorts of neat upgrades (scopes, night-scopes, grenade launchers, etc) as well as the people who work at the gun ranges all around the country.
Or how about financing the fence along the border between the US and Mexico. Just think of all the jobs that would be created, not just among the construction workers at the border, but at the steel mills and factories that produce the fencing, at the quarries and concrete factories that will produce the gravel and concrete, and the hundreds of maintenance personnel who will be employed long into the future to help keep the fence in good repair.
See, if the right things were included, the stimulus package might not be that bad of a deal. ;-)
