Some items that Valerie Bieberich and Choonboon Tan forgot to mention in their support of the stimulus bill (A look at the stimulus bill, 02/06/2009): $850 million for the never-profitable Amtrak, $600 million to buy cars for government workers, $75 million for FBI salaries and an $87.7 billion no-strings-attached bailout to states. I suggest a more accurate name for H.R. 1: The Generational Theft Act of 2009.
