Anyone know of a website that explains this stimulus bill?
I would think it would be in the Democrats best interest to develop such a site (if it doesn't exist).

3. What they view as 'pork' and 'earmarks'...
are things like repairing roads, schools and making our hospitals more energy efficient. I wish there was someone unbiased who could explain this stimulus in a nutshell. Most of us don't have hours to spend going through this bill, and if we do, the legalese is hard for us to wade through without going crosseyed.

9. NPR? I don't know - they usually do a pretty good job at explaining those
types of things in a succinct way...

2. Its only in our best interest if there is nothing stupid in there.
Otherwise they are better off hiding it from everyone.
