Stimulating
So, the stimulus bill is loaded down with all kinds of crap. And includes tax increases on tobacco. Radley runs down the pork.
Also, we should be afraid: But [Barack Obama’s stimulus] bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.
What the PATRIOT Act was to the Bush administration, this stimulus bill will be to the Obama administration.

Except the stimulus bill does a lot of the crap people complain about, rather than simply being an easy acronym to point at.

except in bovine applications. Used to work on a farm, but we’re the ones with the probe, and the voltage is too damned high!
Damned congresscritters. Messing with my head.
