The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1) would provide $787 billion — $575 billion in new spending and $212 billion in tax cuts — to stimulate the economy. The "stimulus" spending is supposed to create jobs, yet the money that the government spends for this purpose would have to be drained from the economy in the first place, thereby destroying jobs throughout the economy in order to give the government the means to create jobs in selected sectors.
Most of the spending would be unconstitutional and government cannot stimulate the economy by draining money from the private sector.
