So what percent pork vs real stimulus do you think it is?

Why don't you answer his question? Where did you get that breakdown...pork vs stimulus? And how did you determine what is pork?

There is no evidence that "stimulus" will help the situation anyway.

FDR stimulated the hell out of the economy and it still took a giant war and 30 years of inflation to get us through the Depression.

I think it's ALL intended to be stimulative. As it's being portioned out to locals, some's bound to be mis-spent.

But, I asstalk no figures.
