I think there is still 7 Billion still in there isn't it? Thought I read somewhere it when from 9 down to 7 but I could be wrong or the reporters could be mistaken.

"The Senate agreement pared from the bill $20 billion for school construction, $2 billion to expand broadband access in rural areas, $3.5 billion to make federal buildings more energy efficient and $200 million for NASA. It also reduced a proposed subsidy that would allow the jobless to buy health insurance through their former employers." http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=adnIDRZKZQJw&refer=us This is NOT good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
