Stimulus Bill or Spending Bill?
Can a Stimulus Bill be considered a Spending Bill as well?
I think the two can be separate if the spending is put into worth while areas and ideas. Fortunately all too often it turns into a spending bill as the money is dumped into projects that have no longer term gains.

Hacking The Stimulus
By Danny Schechter
"Last month, another 600,000 Americans lost their jobs," Mr. Obama said. "That is the single worst month of job loss in 35 years. The Department of Labor also adjusted their job loss numbers for 2008 upwards, and now report that we have lost 3.6 million jobs since this recession began." Ref. Source 2
The stimulus bill is a spending bill. You can not have a stimulus without spending money. I just think the way they are going about this is the wrong way. If you want to encourage spending give the stimulus money to the people. Let the population spend the money to better give a shock that restarts spending.
