Looking through the bill for various words, I find all sorts of provisions that have nothing whatsoever to do with stimulating the economy. A search for "kilogram" turned up empty. A search for "pound" turned up something about schools making reports about whether their floors contain volatile organic compounds, a modification to the Internal Revenue code about deducting interest for vehicles, and something about inspection of downer cows. I know we're all here for the metric system, but I'm sure that's not everyone's only issue. This bill is full of charcuterie. Please read the bill and alert your legislators of anything that should be removed. Pierre
