While most of what I've read of the final version of the stimulus plan so far is enough to make anyone who cares about proper management cry, there are some good parts, related to the arts. Well, not funding for the arts specifically, but what appears to be an attempt at creating art right in the bill. Specifically, the following section which would make any minimalist artist green with envy:
----------
SCIENCE
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
SCIENCE
For an additional amount for "Science", $400,000,000.
AERONAUTICS
For an additional amount for "Aeronautics", $150,000,000.
EXPLORATION
For an additional amount for "Exploration", $400,000,000.
CROSS AGENCY SUPPORT
For an additional amount for "Cross Agency Support", $50,000,000.
----------
Also, can you spot the amateurish mistake above? Yes, that's right, someone more experienced with commiting accounting fraud and who wanted $1 billion would round those numbers down a few million so it didn't look so obvious.
