All 647 pages of it. Good stuff. Here's a sample.
IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding section 605(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, section 4980B(f)(5)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, section 2205(a) of the Public Health Service Act, and section 8905a(c)(2) of title 5, United States Code, in the case of an individual who is a qualified beneficiary described in paragraph (3)(A) as of the date of the enactment of this Act and has not made the election referred to in paragraph (3)(B) as of such date, such individual may elect the COBRA continuation coverage under the COBRA continuation coverage provisions containing such sections during the 60-day period commencing with the date on which the notification required under paragraph (7)(C) is provided to such individual.
The stimulus is a joke. The Republicans are right on this one, it will do more harm than good. The problem is we don't make things anymore. There are not enough good jobs for working folks. The stimulus they have passed does little to address this.

It will be interesting to see what happens next when this "stimulus" fails just like the banker bailout has. The increasingly complex ways of stealing from our productive capacity will have to end. It is interesting to see that we as a nation live no longer than the priveleged ones of 200 years ago.
People keep thinking their grandchildren will pay for it. I bet we end up paying for it with higher taxes next year when it doesn't do what it is suppose to do. Oh yea, now every little wish list we also have to pay for forever....try to take an entitelment away. I was listing to South Carolina Gov. say he might not take the money because new strings have been attached. Like taking the unemployment money, which I thought would be good, now, you have to stretch it to part time workers andi it goes on and on.
What upsets me is that the few States that balanced their budgets really are bailing out other States like California (I use to be from that State so I know what I am talking about there) or other East Coast and West Coast States.
My brother in San Fernando Valley, CA told me that he knows tons to people that bought homes way over what they were making in salary and then guess what. Here in OK. you buy what you can afford but now we will have to pay for those people to stay in their homes with our money.
We are going to pay for these bailouts for the rich with inflation. The inflation rate is already up, despite being in a recession. Instead of housing and food costs falling to historic levels, they still are higher than they were. Trust me, we are all going to pay for the welfare for the rich and bigger government to ruin our lives.
