Win $100 for Assessing the Stimulus Bill

WashingtonWatch.com is sponsoring a contest to call out the the best and the worst of the stimulus bill that is making its way through Congress.

Your goal is to identify spending in the economic stimulus bill that will do a really good job of stimulating the economy, or a really bad job. A $100 prize will go to the best comment identifying good stimulus spending - the spending that will do the most to get the economy on its feet - and another $100 to the best comment identifying bad stimulus spending - spending that will just fall in a hole or even make the U.S. economy worse.

Take any part of the stimulus bill and write a short case for why it's good or bad. (Recommended: search the bill for "$" - there are more than 350 of them.) Pick anything - from an entire government department to the smallest program. You can even pick a non-spending provision in the bill that you think will do good or bad.

The Budget Brigade's own Adam Hughes will be one of the judges, so start sending those checks entries in to me WashingtonWatch.com!
