"anyone here understand what is in this bill and how much of it is really stimulutive?"

How can you spend money and it not be a stimulus? Now, some might be more effective than others, but it is all stimulus. As Keynes noted, burying bottles of cash and letting people dig them up would be a stimulus. Not a particularly effective one, but a stimulus none the less.

Now, personally, I'd like to see more infrastructure and less tax cuts. Tax cuts are more like burying bottles of cash than building houses.

"Besides tax cuts, what are they for?"

Did you see what McConnell proposed? It was all tax cuts.
