Well, Obama has been in office less than a month and I do have to say he has a 100% record with me......I haven't agreed with him on anything yet. Now, he has this HUGE spending bill which he is calling a "stimulus" package. First of all, I don't believe for one second that this is "his bill." I personally believe it is the "Nancy Pelosi" bill. But, no matter, it is still full of holes.
When will the democrats learn that taxing the country into oblivion is not good for the economy? Obama has been screaming gloom and doom for the nation if they don't pass his bill right away; yet, I can remember a few years ago George Bush was strongly criticized when he raised a red flag about the nation's economy (not that there is a double-standard here).
Just a few of the items in the Obama (Pelosi) "pork" package are:
1. "Green" Jobs (whatever that entails)
2. Family planning - birth control for children and immigrants (although I believe this one got pulled out of the bill)
3. 300 Million for STD prevention
4. Refundable tax credits for people who don't pay taxes
5. Over $142 billion in Federal Education funds
6. $87 billion Medicare bailout
7. A National Healthcare policy (socialized medicine)
8. $600 million for government cars
9. $650 million for Digital TV coupons
10. $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts
The list goes on.....
Supposedly this is going to create all sorts of jobs - government jobs. Just what we need.....more government employees. I live in Delaware and the largest employer in the state of Delaware is the government. I can remember a few years ago, the government employees went "on strike" and no one noticed. Well...except the traffic was less in the area - other than that.....no one noticed. Hmmmmm.
