Stimulus Outrage: What will the Government waste our money on next?
What will the Federal Government waste the taxpayers’ money on next? It goes without saying that the government bureaucrats in Washington will find creative ways to utilize the money coming from the Stimulus. After all, the American people thought that the funds would create more jobs and help boost our economy, but unemployment numbers continue to rise (and will continue to rise, especially if the “finalized” health care reform bill is passed). However, the American taxpayer would be livid to know what exactly the stimulus will be boosting…pet projects. Let’s just take a look at the pet projects that will be created under the stimulus. Thanks to Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) for uncovering these projects.
- How does an “Almost Empty” Mall being awarded an energy grant sound? Price tag: $5 Million
- If you’re interested, Digital Television Advertising Agency will create three jobs…but you better apply fast, as they will be gone in a flash. Price tag: $5.9 Million
- If working for a Digital Television Advertising Agency does not float your boat, then how does researching in the development of supersonic corporate jets sound or studying the learning patterns of honeybees sound? Price tag: $4.7 Million for the corporate jets study and $210,000 for studying honeybees
- It looks like the Stimulus will also create a program to control household appliances from a remote location. Awesome, huh? Price tag: $787,250
- How would you like to climb aboard the wine train and get your groove on? Price tag: $54 Million
- Perhaps, while you are on the wine train, your children can watch anti-capitalist, socially-conscious puppet shows. Entertainment with a cause…yeah right Price tag: $100,000
- Do you live in Buffalo? If so, the Stimulus will create a job in your city that involves journaling your malt liquor and marijuana usage. I guess this will help soothe you after the horrible 6-14 record of the Buffalo Bills. Price tag: $389,357
- Lastly, how does a visit from Bobber the Water Safety Dog sound? I hear he is quite the hit at birthday parties. Price tag: $21,116
What other wasteful programs will the government spend the taxpayers’ money on next? I guess we will have to wait to find out.

What we really need is a Chomper the Pork Chewing Congressional Watch Dog. It is a cinch the corporate news media is not doing the job. It is also a shame we keep reelecting the idiots who come up with these piggish pork barrel projects.
What we citizens need to get through our thick skulls is that it is still pork and still a stupid waste when our congressman brings home the bacon. So long as our congressman can bring home the bacon, he has no interest in stopping 434 other congressmen from doing the same thing for their districts. And that is why budget is going bust. For that little bit of crispy and delicious bacon, we have to pay 435 times.
Citizen Tom, we will have millions of Chomper Watch Dogs once we educate the People about the Constitution and a little thing called Limited Government and Enumerated Powers! Fortunately, the Democrats are facilitating the task of re-educating a populace that has been indoctrinated in government schools. They are pissing People off, and folks are actually beginning to learn what it was that started in 1776. As Franklin replied, when asked what kind of government they had created, “A Republic, if you can keep it.” The only possible way for that to happen is for the People to be the Watch Dogs. In Virginia, we are beginning on that process by replacing Tom Periello with Michael McPadden in the 5th District. whose campaign is based upon — here’s a new concept — Liberty, and Personal Responsibility. Check out his website at http://www.mcpaddenforcongress.com
We have had a potential disaster forced upon us in the 5th district, but we are going to turn lemons into lemonade. WE are not going to tolerate a ridiculous situation in which the party nominee could win less than 20% of the total vote, with 80% of the vote being solidly conservative, but split 6 ways. There is a growing movement in the 5th district for a CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION to select OUR nominee who will face Robert Hurt in the primary. Please go to McPadden’s website. Check him out.
The New Right starts in the 5th District. LIBERTY WINS!~
Get rid of all politicians NOW! Hire a jew,put him on commission and see the savings begin. Jewish people (most) learn family values and responsibility at an early age. This may not carry over well to politics but is the current system working? Get rid of all entitlements,the public school system and “non-profits”. Start over. Prove the value to all citizens not focus groups. No more money for queers “rights” and no more dead babies. God Bless America!
