People have been calling the GOP the party of No. Well that might just be a good thing. The GOP voted No for the stimulus package. The package put together by Obama's people and paid for with your hard earned tax dollars in an effort to improve the economy. Please read the link below and see if you are happy with what you are paying for. It is also good for alot of laugh....really.:lol:

note:it takes a bit to load but it is worth it. and the stories are shorter and more funny starting at #12 if you don't want to read all day

My favorite is #42

Ohio spends $1 million stimulus dollars on highway signs informing you that the highway work was paid for with stimulus dollars.
 
oh my god.....


I almost fell asleep reading all that.

Why am I sharing air with those people?:shock:

Yeah it's better to start at #12 where they get shorter.....still funny stuff.

And you're not just sharing air.....you are sharing money....we all are:lol:
 

I guess you have money to burn.. Most people don't like having their hard earned money taken away so college kids can go on a free vacation. Most people would rather spend their hard earned money taking their OWN kids on vacation.

Wrong assumption. ;)
 
Do you like working so that people you don't know can go to Costa Rica or Rio?

The financial situation are different and varies by families, even I do know some families with kids are never been on vacation but rather to spend the money on home improvement or many something to do.
 
This is exactly why I am apathetic to the whole process. They are going to spend on whatever they want to without any input from the people other than congress. They are all a bunch of fucking crooks!!

I have seen the signs but there is never any work being done there
 
Fiscal issue aren't on my high priority for good reason because both of conservative and liberal are very divided; it is difficult to have bipartisanship on fiscal issue. The tax system in US, especially IRS has been existing for many years and never been reformed yet, such as change the tax law, other way to collect tax or change about how would be taxed, for example, flat tax and FairTax Act.

Right now, my high priority on issue is health care, copyright law and some of GLBT rights, especially civil issue, that reason about I don't get agree with many republicans or conservative because of anti-GLBT so that's leading me to lose their respect if they aren't take care of GLBT issue, such as need hate crime law, anti-discrimination law on employment, housing, college, etc and grant the more rights like civil unions. For copyright law, hear about broadcast flag in near future that would prevent you from record the tv shows or degrade the resolution to lower quality if you want record so it is form of DRM, that which is allowed under DCMA. I'm against DRM on anything and there's new online authentication for upcoming games that require you to have internet all day as you need play the games so unfair for customers with dial-up or no internet at all because not all place has broadband so it is very bad solution for DRM. Many of crack on DRM has been successful, especially on games and that why I want DCMA to repeal, even copyright law need be reformed and DRM need be banned.

For health care issue, you already know that, it isn't about public options but just different issue need be fixed and already debated in other thread.

txgolfer, now, you understand about how I feel about issues because you and I don't have same structure about concern, priorities or issues with US government.

If Republican Party changes the platform to remove the anti-GLBT and increase of GLBT support among conservatives so would enable for me to get more side with them but it wouldn't happen for while and just slowly change.

What does that have to do with anything?????

The point was this.....Our tax dollars are being used to pay for the Stimulus......the stimulus is paying for nearly 9000 earmarks.....some of them include stuff like sending students from Duke to Costa Rica over summer.

I think most people would rather not pay for that:lol: They would probably rather spend it on their own family.

What does this have to do with the stimulus pkg???? This thread is about the waste in the stimulus package. You must not have read the link.

I'm just show you about reason because I'm not side with conservative or republican so fiscal issue, including stimulus package is out of question due divided into many issues on between of parties.

You need understand about how I was feeling about fiscal issue, even I don't give a damn about it until politicians would agree in combined so I use my own priorities to support on some of political issues.

Last word to say, who does hell care about stimulus package, they are nothing and too late to changed or get revised.

Actually you are wrong. Alot of the money hasn't been spent yet so there is plenty of time to recall the bill and stop funding certain projects.

The stimulus passed on Democrat votes alone. Unfortunetly many American's never read the bill. Most hard working American's are shocked when they find out their tax dollars are being spent on vacations. Not only vacations, but vacations for Students at an expensive private University.

Democrats are supposed to be the party of the poor. If that is so why are they spending our hard earned money this way when people need jobs. People are losing their houses yet the democrats are increasing spending to pay for a Martini bar and a tunnel for turtles

If I remember correctly you left you posted that you quit your job at Walmart to take SSDI. If so I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't care how taxes are spent. Those who work and struggle to pay bills.....I think this matters alot

It isn't wrong if anyone don't care about stimulus package like I did and it will going be off in over time.

There's economy stimulus package under Bush Admin in 2008 that where Americans got money back, depends on last four digit SSN and refund via direct deposit or mail. Is it really wasteful as stimulus package under Obama Admin? For me, either of them are wasteful in my opinion so don't get my opinion so wrong.
 
I buy Silver Eagles whenever I can. One can barter with them when the dollar crashes. *shrugs*
