Why is a smoking cessation program and endowment to the arts part of the stimulus? (Answers: 9) (Comments: 0)

www.congress.org/congressorg/headlines.tt I think smokers are less likely to quit in such stressful time and I wish I had some habit to reduce the stress...maybe a smokers training program? Anyway...I thought the tobacco taxes and part of the tobacco liability concessions were supposed to pay for this kind of thing. Also, insurance companies offer the nicoderm patch, prescriptions, and behavior modification programs for stopping...wtf? I am all for people to be healthy and to stop smoking...but as part of the job stimulus package??? Why not take out those Arts millions and get Caroline to raise money for them? I thought we were trying to jump start the economy in these "perilous" times. I agree that previous spending was reckless...it is just that now I have so little faith in the lawmakers (since they acted like the 3 Stooges and "who's on first?" in the last bailout. I am reading the details for the first time in the light that there is nobody looking out for me now. Kind of like if you were a passenger in a speeding car and the driver has slumped over the wheel drunk...you would suddenly get very interested in steering. Since I lost my job on Nov 5, I am particularly interested in the job creation details on this one since there won't likely be another one. I wish they would put this to a vote and we could pick the programs we think would work. The only jobs I see being created are for the Trade Unions, an industry in which jobs are not being lost.
