The word 'foreign' actually appears 645 times in this bill. The amount of foreign funding is insane here for what's being called a 'stimulus' bill.

Under Foreign Agricultural Services, which is getting over $200million in this bill, is "middle-income country training programs" and "International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship" for 8-12 week fellowship programs for non-US citizens to learn about agriculture at US universities.

Imagine if actual representatives wrote bills, with the priorities of their constituents in mind. Instead, we have pampered elitists peddling whatever crap their lobbyists push in front of them.
