Hey America, The Stimulus Package Was A Scam

Chris Jones — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:47:30 +0000

With every passing day we learn more and more about the treachery that was the so-called Obama “stimulus” package. Many of us saw the $787 billion scam for exactly what it was — a giant slush fund to pay back friends and cronies.

All you had to do was look at who wrote the stimulus bill. It was a who’s who of “social justice” organizations and assorted Commie Pinko cretins. It was never meant to create jobs or “stimulate” the economy. It was meant to give free shit to people who the left believes are owed something. It was about redistribution of wealth.

But, that’s not the half of it. We learn today that many of the jobs supposedly “saved or created” on account of the porkulus bill are in districts that don’t even exist.

Here’s a stimulus success story: In Arizona’s 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that’s what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There’s one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

The reality is that every member of Congress who voted to steal $787 billion of tax payer money (borrowed from China) should rot in jail.

Transparency: White House Putting Off Release Of Budget Update

This from the AP:

The White House is being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once-upbeat predictions about the economy and today’s bleak landscape.

The administration’s annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in President Barack Obama’s budget in February and update in May, and that could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global-warming proposals through Congress.

The release of the update – usually scheduled for mid-July – has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7 summer recess.

Putting off the release so you can keep lying to the American people about the numbers, now that’s change I can believe in.

This is how many Americans feel about what Obama and the Democrats are doing to our country. This is how we feel about $787 billion dollar “stimulus” packages that are nothing but bullshit pork.

This is how we feel about destroying the economy with “Cap and Trade” tax plans to combat something that isn’t even real.

This is how we feel about broke-ass California issuing IOU’s while at the same time paying $4 million to put the corpse of a pedophile singer on display.

Here’s how the media treated a recovering and then soaring economy under Bush and how they’re treating the economy under Obama.

Chutzpah: Obama Warns Current Deficit Spending Is “Unsustainable”

Chris Jones — Thu, 14 May 2009 22:34:49 +0000

You really have to admire the chutzpah that president Obama displays time and again when talking about fiscal matters.

He said the following during a town hall meeting in New Mexico:

“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”

Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”

What he neglects to mention as usual is that he is the reason we keep borrowing from China and mortgaging our children’s future.

Obama loves to talk about the deficits he inherited, but his only solution to Bush’s out-of-control spending and record deficits has been even more spending and ever larger deficits.

Obama’s spending in his first 100 days in office dwarfs all of Bush’s spending for his entire two terms.

So maybe the president should take some of his own advice.

Video: Proof Democrats Blocked Bush Administration Attempts To Prevent Mortgage Crisis

Chris Jones — Wed, 06 May 2009 04:41:26 +0000

Here’s proof that the Bush administration way back in 2003 was sounding the alarm about the mortgage industry. Repeated attempts to pass new legislation aimed at getting a handle on Fannie and Freddie before they imploded were blocked by Democrats. Not only did Barney Frank and the dems block any new regulations, they were angry at republicans for even suggesting a problem existed.

So the “mess” that democrats are so fond of saying they “inherited” is a mess of their own making. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and the rest of those lying pricks should be impeached. The corrupt media will of course never admit any of this.

House Democrats Propose New Porky $410 Billion Dollar Spending Bill

Chris Jones — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:49:16 +0000

Everything that was cut from the egregious $787 billion dollar porkulus bill last week was shoved into a brand new spending bill proposed today by house democrats. Nancy Pelosi proposed a new $410 billion dollar bill today allegedly to keep the government running until the end of the fiscal year. Of course, it’s really just $410 billion in pork that didn’t make into the stimulus bill. According to the AP, the bill contains “thousands of earmarks” which have yet to be totaled. Here we go again.
