The current ‘Stimulus’ Bill of $850 Billion dollars that was passed by the House and is now before the Senate will cost each taxpayer an average of $6,296 according to the most current tax statistics available.

However, if you have worked hard enough to earn over $100,000 per year your portion of that bill will be closer to $16,000. And if you happen to earn in excess of $200,000 your ‘fair share’ of this Stimulus ‘Bill’ will likely be over $50,000.

Your portion of this debt cited above is in addition to the similar debt from the prior stimulus bill. One problem that no one dares to mention is that much of this huge stimulus package involves the creation of new government programs and expansion of others. The Federal Government is great at creating new programs, but finds it very difficult to cut programs. These programs and increased cost will continue long after the economy rebounds. The debt will continue to grow.

This bill is not about economic stimulus. It is about expanding government, special interests, and to pay back political favors. The root of this economic collapse was government meddling in the banking industry, mandating or encouraging unsustainable changes to lending rules to satisfy a political constituency. Now many of those same politicians that helped create the problem are ramming through the same types of ’solutions’ that got us here in the first place. There is much more ‘Bill’ here than there is Stimulus.
