"Supports U.S. development of advanced vehicle batteries and battery systems through loans and grants so that America can lead the world in transforming the way automobiles are powered."
-------This is a very nice post. What is good about electric/battery cars is that it shows lower depreciation rates and they are very quiet to run plus low emission.

Republican members of the House will have nothing to show their constituents and, whatever good that comes out of this bill, they will not plausibly be able to take credit for it. Arlen Specter, on the other hand, can point to $6 billion that he won for the National Institute of Health. Over time, the Republicans will learn that they cannot win concessions and then vote against the legislation because they won't win concessions the second time around

it still amazes me this person blames all the problems on union, yet they make up10 % of the work force.. Lets start an new economy based on $10.00 for the blue color guy, then lets see how well the country runs

I think we should also listen to Peter Schiff who scoffs at the notion the economic decline is starting to level off and concedes no government action means a "terrible" recession. But the path of increased government intervention will lead to "unmitigated disaster.

The problem, he says, is the government is trying to perpetuate a "phony economy" based on borrowing and spending. With the U.S. consumer tapped out, the government is "now taking on the mantle" of consumer of last resort, he continues, predicting the bond bubble will soon burst - if it hasn't already - ultimately leading to a collapse of the dollar and an "inflationary depression worse than anything any of us have ever seen."

Look at all the republicans who are suddenly concerned with spending.... They never had a problem with the US spending trillions of dollars for a war in Iraq that was based on lies and has not made us safer.... Though many republicans don't even favor the war in Iraq anymore, they still want our troops in Iraq for an extended period of time and are willing to pay for it.. That part really gets me.. They don't approve of the war and they still want to feed money into the damn thing.... So if they didn't have a problem putting future generations in to debt with spending trillions of dollars on a war they don't approve of, that doesn't make us safer and therefor doesn't create any benefit for the US or the world, why should they have a problem with spending that betters Americans... Sure, not all of the money spent won't go towards the creating of new jobs, and I'll even admit that there are some things I don't necessarily like about it.. But it's so hypocritical and political for republicans to call building a better America by putting money in to America wasteful spending when they've been sending money down the toilet for years....

The stimulus package should not happen and instead we should force the government to recheck itself. Want more blue collar jobs? Examine some of the insane unions and regs that make it impossible for a business to compete on a global level, therefore ELIMINATING blue collar jobs. We can't continue to subsidize every aspect of life until it fits with a social perfectionists' ideals. Simply can't afford it. Let American ingenuity solve the problem... it is certainly more adept to do so than the federal gov't.
