That Stimulus Bill Isn't All Bad News

This is from the site Business Insider.com:
"Billionaire Paul Allen is a Microsoft cofounder, the owner of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and the owner of the NBA's Portland Trailblazers.
"And, thanks to the stimulus bill President Obama signed this week, he's also about to be as much as a billion dollars richer."
Good thing congress rushed passage of that bill or Paul Allen might have had to go an extra day without the extra billion. And that sure would have left his other billions lonely.
I just have to ask which congresspersons are getting the million dollar pay offs? Might Rahm Emanuel clean up on this deal? Could Geithner waltz into a six or seven figure job because of Allen's windfall? Just asking the obvious.
Be sure to follow the link and see Allen's two yachts. It looks like each of them sleep forty.
