What was cut from the final version of the stimulus bill? |
|
I did a google search on stimulus cuts, and got so many hits I could not tell if they were cuts from the Senate version, House version or earlier versions.
Is there a comprehensive list of what was cut - i.e., state stabilization funding, etc
Thanks

Dear Friend,
We're thrilled to announce that in the final economic stimulus bill that was just released by a Congressional committee, funding for the nuclear weapons infrastructure was removed!
We asked you to write your representatives and thousands of you did, flooding congressional offices with requests to cut this money. We did our part too, by sending letters and pressuring Congress to cut these funds.
Thank you to all those of you who took quick, decisive action to help prevent $1 billion in funding for the National Nuclear Security Administration! This victory would not have been possible without your activism. Many Senators and Representatives did not even know this funding existed before you alerted them to it. Today gives us just one example of the power of our collective voices to achieve steps toward a world free of nuclear weapons. We look forward to working with you on this issue throughout 2009.
Sincerely,
John Isaacs and Guy Stevens

2. What is a nuclear weapons infrastructure? |

I hope it wasn't something that involved securing loose nukes?
