I don't, and didn't to begin with and esp. since I first stared reading about the orig. House version in the news. And then when I actually started to read the different versions for myself.....and am stilling reading given the size of the bills.

But, I do know that our government will be very happy with this bill since it includes text and funding to "stabilize" our government which is not part of stimulus bill. It is however, exactly what our government's annual fiscal budget is for. Perhaps they should have called this the "2009 fiscal-budget-plan-with extras".
