Guppy is RIGHT ON….if our troops WERE COUNTED and not tossed to the side as the LEFT has so many times done in the past. This will come back to haunt us all, for without those who watch our backs, stand over us as we sleep and rush in the fires of hell; face forward…….we have NO……NO RIGHTS AT ALL(period). You all here know this ….how in Gods’ Blue Orb do WE get it translated for the ones who will lay us at our enemies feet?
(Without violence) for now…..

I wonder if that 5% would be higher if all our soldiers absentee were actually counted.

Yeah, but in the porn industry, at least you can actually see somebody getting screwed, unlike the invisible one we are taking from the new administration and their money masters.

The porn industry is in line for their bailout now.

How much will the pimps and pushers get?

Those 3 industries voted 97% for Obamy, and contributed heavily to his campaign.

From the Heritage foundation:

“The Big Lie at the Center of Big Spending Stimulus Posted January 7th, 2009 at 12.53pm in Entrepreneurship
…Got that? All the economists that Obama is listening to so that he makes sure “that the investments are made wisely and managed well” are just making stuff up. There is simply no research that exists to provide “the expertise to help guide the process.”

So we’re left with Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) truth: “Those aren’t stimulus. Those are ideological accomplishments in the guise of economic stimulus.“

http://blog.heritage.org/2009/.....-stimulus/

But if they are making stuff up to help the country, it’s ok, isn’t it?

Barney Fife was just trying to help the country when he tanked the economy. If the intentions are good, and it does the opposite of what is intended, like during the Great Depression, we should still be happy that the geniuses at Harvard are working so hard for us.

What can we expect in terms of immediate stimulus from Obama’s shovel ready make-work government infrastructure projects. Maybe we can expect an efficiently run project like the Big Dig. An initial estimate of 2.8 billion dollars ballooned to 22 billion upon completion in a mere 21 years.

Or how about the Congressional Welcome Center? A 100 Million dollar, 3 year project, coming in at a bargain basement price of 600 million dollars over 8 years.

Simple math indicates we can expect to add a factor of 6 to 8 times to the pricetag for this 700 billion dollar ~~boondoggle~~ stimulus plan. Once the government opens the spigot to our tax dollars, we can not stop the flow.

more reason why the fool will ignore their needs. Expect an exodus from those reaching retirment age and those too far away to imagine it.

Today’s economic news isn’t so bad. Construction spending was down but by only half the amount the “experts” thought it would be.

“LD, have you checked the approval ratings for Obamy from the military?”

Politicians don’t care about military approval ratings because by and large, military people don’t vote. I am not sure what the numbers will turn out to be for 2008 but for 2004 it was something like 5% of active duty military actually casting a ballot.

LD, have you checked the approval ratings for Obamy from the military?

You are 100% correct that the people who put their lives on the line to protect us should come first………….but friend, they didn’t vote for the One. If I were you, I wouldn’t be counting on anything from a guy who has shown nothing but contempt for the military.

Now, the losers in the hood who make their living by selling drugs and bodies and other crimes, they are high on the list for a hand from you and me. After all, they pay no taxes, so they must be “poor”.

“Delivering broadband communications to underserved areas.”

Of course people in those areas won’t be able to afford broadband, so there will need to be government programs to subsidize it.

(Schools will get it no matter what the cost, of course.)

Uncle Sam? How about Unka Obama spending like a kid in a candy store without adult supervision? Because that’s what it boils down to…..NO ADULTS.
This may be off track but I’ve got to vent. Last year (07) the Veterans of this nation were told that there was NO MONEY to give the Veterans Administration for their care and well being. Yet…. the Bone Shakers in Washington DC found money to prop up industry, banks and other porkbelly Bastards with their hands out. Look around…..now there are new hands that want filled. All the while; the Veterans of this nation are told there is nothing for them. Who will fill the All Volenteer Ranks if this is to continue? If we as a nation can not fill the void for the people who stand watch while you sleep and throw their bodies at those dare threaten this nation……..then sadly this nation is NOMORE!
Our Veterans should be first and foremost because to them………America is FIRST and FOREMOST. Thanks for letting me vent my spleen……..

This article is just ridiculous!!
Btw, if America spends this sort of cash, it’ll go down pretty quickly;
not to mention the value of the dollar.
P.S. Now that the price of crude is so low, Pelosi & company want to increase the excise tax!
I hope the Senate will block such attempts.
