Stimulus for Philippines vetrs?

Washington Times:

Senators say their goal is to stimulate the U.S. economy, but the Senate's economic recovery package spends up to $198 million in lump-sum payments to aging Filipino veterans of World War II -- two-thirds of whom don't live in the U.S. and are unlikely to be pumping much money into the economy.

The money, long-sought by Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel K. Inouye, Hawaii Democrat, would go to about 15,000 living veterans who served in World War II as a part of U.S.-led forces and who were promised postwar benefits, including U.S. citizenship.

...

This is just another example of the bad faith of Democrats who are cramming all of their pet projects into this big enormous bill and calling it a stimulus. This is the politics of fraud at its worst.
