Jenny asks…

What has OBAMA done for you not to like him?

The most important thing that OBAMA and his administration has done negatively…. is passing the so-called ECONOMIC RECOVERY PACKAGE, also known as the STIMULUS BILL 787 Billion dollars of taxpayer money filled with all sorts of earmarked “pet projects” to reserve misapproriated huge amounts of money over a period of time for careless spending that doesn’t help the country or the American people. What does it sound like? A scam, you’re right. A method of telling you one thing and doing another, the old switch-a-roo. Filling the cookie jar with hard cold cash and being able to take from it at any time for by politicians unaccountably. We are talking almost a Trillion dollars passed overnight without any argument or question. HOW ABOUT tax breaks, tax cuts, business incentives, to natuarlly boost the economy to have more money in circulation in the people’s pockets???

NEWS FLASH…. the stimulus didn’t work, I could of told you that a long time ago!!!! BECAUSE this is just a small list of where the money is going …..

This one issue alone should of been enough for the people to recognize exactly what he’s trying to do to all of us intentionally…. BANKRUPT THE U.S.A and keep the people down and out waiting for infaltion to hit while the democrats and republicans keep arguing and complaining (divided and conquered) while they the scumbag politicans laugh all the way to the bank with our money!!! It is the TRUTH…. www.readthestimulus.org

IT SEEMS TO BE ALL TOO LATE, WE’VE BEEN HAD and people still support him, WHY? WHY? WHY? Ask yourself, what is he doing, what is his plan, what is the underlying hidden agenda to his actions and behavior? It’s obvious, it stinks, and something is seriously wrong!!!
Billed Credit Card for generations and generations to come… and that’s okay? How fast was the Stimulus Bill passed? And why didn’t anybody in Congress read the bill? Why wasn’t there any media coverage pertaining to the bill? Why isn’t OBAMA (on the campaign trail once again) reviewing how much of a good job the Stimulus Bill has done for the economy? I am sure that this will be all EXPOSED and a hot topic during election what he and his administration has done to the people and the country!

• $110 million to the Farm Service Agency to upgrade computer systems.

• $200 million in funding for the lease of alternative energy vehicles for use on military installations

Would someone explain to me on a line by line basis how these items stimulate the economy? Funny thing is the SCHIP bill that just passed is funded by tax increases on smokers. But this bill has $75 million for “smoking cessation activities.” So how can we pay for SCHIP if we are going to get smokers to quit?

The Expert answers:

There is no need to go line-by-line.
It is pure pork, plan and simple.
Although some of the items, like the Coast Guard ice-breaker, are good expenditures, they are not able to STIMULATE the economy. Tax incentives to companies who hire additional full time employees, or increase productivity are the ways to go, but

• $412 million for CDC buildings and property

• $448 million for constructing the Department of Homeland Security headquarters.

• $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters.

Are not justified. These items must go.

Whereas, the

• $1.2 billion for “youth activities,” including youth summer job programs.

Does pose a plausible stimulus, by preparing teens for entering the work force.

This is why a line-item-veto or single item legislation must be enacted. And to think Obama promised change. The only change here is what will be left in the tax payer’s wallet when the Dems get done with us.

Sandy asks…

How will you tell YOUR senator to vote?

The Expert answers:

I’ve already expressed my views to both my House Reps and Senators. Not only do I disagree with this irreponsible spending, but I feel that the direction taken by this new leader in the last two weeks has demonstrated where he truly intends to lead us – a socialist left New World government who has allegiances to everyone but it’s own citizens. I want Obama impeached.

How do we REALLY know where all of this money is going and if it is being spent on what they say they are going to spend it on? C’mon I’d like to see their billing statements and records of the STIMULUS BILL, the IRS looks at all of my earnings through my taxes, every penny!
