Federal Stimulus Plan

Federal agencies will release billions of stimulus dollars to states in the coming months.

Health and Human Services will provide funding for 1,129 health centers to provide expanded service for 300,000 patients; Interior will begin improvements on 107 national parks; Veterans Affairs will start work on 90 medical centers in 38 states; the Justice Department will fund 5,000 law enforcement jobs; the Agriculture Department will begin 200 new rural waste and water system projects; and the Environmental Protection Agency will begin or accelerate the cleanup of 20 Superfund sites.

Its not flowing as quickly as I wanted but I would prefer to wait a little longer and make sure the money gets where its needed than just throw money at a problem. The Superfund has been broke for years now, and will have a virtual rebirth. All stuff we need, and American.
