I have been silent for some time now. In truth, it is because I am amazed. I am amazed and dazed because the American people are just sitting back while the socialist imposter Obama and his cronies continue their assault on our liberties. The Republicrats of congress only give a small whimper and cower to face and stand up to professor Obama.
I watch generations continuing to be dumbed down and made to believe pop culture is everything. People tend to know better how operate their TVs than how the government is stealing their liberty. Daily, I preach “WAKE UP AMERICA,” but no one listens. Sure, there are a select few, but they are a “few.’ I won’t rant on any longer, but I hope that you will take the time to read an article. It is sad the U.S. media refuses to actually tell the truth about what is happening to this country. However, other country’s media outlets are telling the truth.
Well, America, yesterday (1/28/2009) was a horrible day. Our House of Representatives passed a stimulus package in excess of $800 billion that has no hope of stimulating this economy. What was so horrid was that both sides of the aisle wanted to spend. The Republicrats were hard at work postering, but the fact is that both would not own up and do what is really necessary for our nation. President Obama called this a great victory, but the truth is that he was caught in his first lie. The following articles illustrate what President Obama said about Pork in bills (That he would forbid it):
However, the President did nothing of the sort. This stimulus package is nearly 30% pork. Do you think $200 million to rehab the National Mall will help? How about $276 million to work on the I.T. systems at the State Department? What about $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts? There’s more–lots more– read the whole bill: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c111:1:./temp/~c111VrmicF::
Mr. President: You lied to me and to your fellow Americans. You promised no more pork. You lied and it seems you are only paying your friends off. You are trying to saddle my son and his children with more debt. Is this the skin you said we’d all have to put in?
Now, it is up to the Senate who seems less up to the task of actually getting us out of the recession. Personally, I like Mr. Pethokoukis’ opinions in 10 Reasons to Whack Obama’s Stimulus Plan. Don’t just nix the plan, whack it into oblivion.
I know what you are thinking: If this package is horrible, then what do YOU suggest we do?
Well, there are some very smart people out there who have been predicting this situation and they have the solution. Give a gander at these:
