October 2, 2009 6:42:28 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

I just read this and had to share.  Click the link for more, if you can stand it.

  • $350 billion Wall Street bailout extension (#5)
  • $787 billion stimulus (#64)
  • $400 billion, earmark-infested omnibus spending bill (#96)
  • $6 billion to federalize charities and pay volunteers (#115)
  • $109 billion loan to the International Monetary Fund (#201)
  • $3 billion for cash for clunkers (#270)
  • $400 million in corporate welfare to help tourism corporations advertise overseas (#272)
  • $4 billion bailout of the Postal Service (#300)
My favorite is paying $6 billion to pay volunteers.

Were they ACORN "volunteers". The 2010 elections are just right around the corner. Time to create register voters

Huh?  Name any of those that improved the economy.  If you hadn't heard, unemployment is still rising.

ID come on man, not everyone contributes one red cent to pay for all this stuff, can you expect them to give a care? These folks aren't convinced until they feel the pain personally. Then, in addition, you have the small group of true believers that think their guy can do no wrong.

More like this will be coming out soon on this. I heard another one today where a guy hired 6 temporary roofing jobs with stimulus money. The gov. listed as over 400 jobs saved.
