The golf cart stimulus can be found in Section 1151 of the “compromise” text and here.

Who’s behind this? The “neighborhood electric vehicles” — souped-up golf carts — that would benefit most are manufactured in North Dakota.

How about $50 billion for “mandatory mortgage modifications”?
Porkulus: It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the Senate floor.

    $3 million for purchasing “neighborhood electric vehicles” (golf carts)

    I call B.S. on this one, there is no such language in the bill. see here

    http://readthestimulus.org/index.php?doc=amdth1&page=96

    ENERGY-EFFICIENT FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE FLEET PROCUREMENT For capital expenditures and necessary expenses of acquiring motor vehicles with higher fuel economy, including: hybrid vehicles; neighborhood electric vehicles; electric vehicles; and commercially-available, plug-in hybrid vehicles, $300,000,000

    golf carts? where?

    including:
    1) hybrid vehicles
    2)neighborhood electric vehicles
    3)electric vehicles
    4)commercially-available, plug-in hybrid vehicles

    so, 4 types of vehicles listed there.

    More importantly, NEVs are not “golf carts.” Calling them golf carts implies that they will be used for golf. But that’s not what NEVs are for. NEV is a DOT “classification for speed limited battery electric vehicles.” They have many practical uses, which is why the military, under Bush, decided to lease thousands of them

    I bet you didn’t know that the Bush Pentagon decided to lease thousands of “golf carts.” Porkulus!
