Well, Folks...
49 days (7 weeks for those in Hollywood and San Francisco) have passed since Barack Obama was sworn in as President. So far he and his cronies on Capitol Hill have spent $787 BILLION of our hard-earned money on the so-called economic "STIMULUS" bill. Now they want another $410 BILLION on an omnibus spending package with over 9,000 "Earmark" spending requests from individual representatives ("OINK, OINK"). What we have here is not fiscal responsibility by any stretch of the imagination. This is two decades of liberal wishes nearing to fruition after conservative firewalls finally being torn down via a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress and control of the White House. Some of the more known slices of pork include:
1) A high-speed rail line from Los Angeles to Las Vegas ("OINK")
2) Research into swine odor ("OINK, Stinky OINK")
3) Funding of astronomy programs in Hawaii ("OINK" with an apple in it's mouth, served with poi)
Those are just a few. I'm not blaming this entirely on Democrats. There is some Republican Bacon in this bill and those GOP lawmakers need to be shamed into reversing their positions and have those requests withdrawn.
I urge anyone who reads this blog to get a copy of this spending bill and give it a good reading. Then contact your House Rep and both Senators and let them know in no uncertain terms that spending has gone out of control and needs to be stemmed We as a nation cannot afford such largesse. We must make it clear to those we elect to serve us that they do so at our pleasure and will face our wrath at the polls in November 2010 unless they start tightening the purse strings and do so now, by voting against this spending bills unless the earmarks are stripped out...OR ELSE!!!
"Enough Said!"
