A few more items that are in the Stimulus (no pork according to Obama) package.....

- The Senate stimulus contains $50 million for habitat restoration and other water needs in the San Francisco Bay Area. There is another $62 million for military projects in Guam.

- The Senate bill directs $1.2 billion to the Transportation Security Administration for hardware, including explosive detection machines, which are made by only three companies: General Electric, L-3 Communications and Reveal Imaging Technologies. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal, which is a GE company.)

- There’s $198 million to compensate Filipino World War II veterans for their service. Most don’t live in the United States.

Geez....
