2010 Federal Stimulus Act (Law'd)

[Eraserhead]

Aye

[Ban my account ffs!]

AYE!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Nay

I have given it much thought, but for some reason I am just not satisfied with this bill or the way it came together. In hindsight, Badger picked the wrong time of the year for an economic crisis. In a different part of the year, this wouldn't have likely taken as long and thus provided the chance to get it right. Also the Senate as a whole would have taken much more interest in the effort and been more motivated to take the initiative and offer ideas. 

I do thank the Senators for their cooperation in moving this bill forward, eventhough it could have been far better. I think that the Senate is much easier to manage when it its operating on its own inertia. It is very difficult to instill the energy and drive that keeps this place running when it doesn't exist to the extent necessary. I have found it frustrating to poke and prode Senators to respond, to offer amendments, and even just to discuss ideas and proposals. As much fun as I have had being the PPT, over these past two Senates, I am afraid that it is time for someone else to step up to the plate. Yes that is right, no more public berations, no more insults, and no more emails from a mob boss. There are a number of you who could easily do this if you apply yourselves and get active. I just hope you know the frustration you are bringing on yourself.

And so, for my likely final act as President Pro-Tempore:

This bill has enough votes to pass, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Cool, I will have this pleasure to preside at the end

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well since Kalwejt didn't do it, I think I shall but in as Senate Dean and end this.

This bill is now passed and presented to the President for his signature.

i'm trying to help with the mideast budget and so i'm looking for some clarification: is the money from for regional requests assumed to be federal programs except where noted or is it assumed to be money sent by the federal government to the regional government? 

unfortunately i can't tell since section g is the only part with a complete sentence

The 3.9 billion is for whatever the Mideast regional government wishes to put it toward, the rest is federal appropriations if I recall correctly.
