Well, Governor Tim Kaine has decided to show his love for Porkulus Stimulus by putting up a state website soliciting suggestions from Virginians about how the money should be spending the money. You can leave your suggestion here.
Maybe, Kaine can return the money back to the government. It’s a long stretch, but it seems like the only ethical thing to do. Taking this money is stealing from the taxpayers and partaking in government waste. Since Kaine will accept the money, he should use this to address the budget crisis to avert tax hikes, etc.
For what its worth, it would be best for Congress to recognize taxpayers and be more respectful of our money (not squandering it on Pork…who says I don’t care about Pork, Chuck Schumer!). Leave your suggestion on the Stimulus.Virginia.gov site, but Kaine is more likely to spend it on a pet project instead.
Does anyone else feel insulted by Congress assuming that we’ll want this money, sight unseen? If that, we get our pet projects, its ok for everyone else to get screwed?
How’s that punchline go? “We both know what you are, but, now we haggling over price?”
