The House just passed H.R. 1 246-183-1 (which we predicted) and there is still misinformation out there, helped along my our Republican Congressional Delegate.
Most obvious is the claim that only 10% is being spent this year. This is false. I know this because the Congressional Budget Office released a report, Cost estimate for the conference agreement for H.R. 1 containing data which made the above graph. In FY2009, the fiscal year ending in September 30, 2009 $184.9 billion will be spent in both tax breaks and direct spending & appropriations. In FY2010 that number rises to $399.4 billion. Think about that: over $584.3 billion – 73% – will be spent in a mix of tax relief, direct spending and appropriations.

Stop what you are doing and click over to see Lebbeus Woods’ Alien3 Conceptual Art:

The story of the Ward movie was radically different, though it deployed the same basic characters, in that the setting was a religious colony that had escaped the earth and inhabited an abandoned commercial facility deep in space. They had adopted a Medieval way of life, without electricity or modern technology. The Ripley-Alien drama was to be played out inside this crumbling, artificial world. Under Ward’s direction, this would have become something highly original, a movie in which the architecture would have had a central part.

The realm of what could have been.
