55. TAXES/PORK: I will “STOP” the huge expenditure of money each year by Congress, every bill/expenditure must stand on it’s own merit. No tagging “pork” on to actually needed bills. That is our money they are spending. This must stop. “America is bankrupt”, “we must stop this spending”. “We will have single item bills”. I’m going to report all these Pork attempts to your attention on TV. See http://www.bushwatch.com/taxes.htm
>>LaRaza<<
traitorous
Hispanic plan to continue the invasion from the south.
2009 The
2007 spending was peanuts, this is nothing compared to the spending going on
now with President Obama. I wish I could make this message flash to get your
attention.
Americans are being screwed
Left and Right. Obama’s spending will continue to destroy our nation.
Remember the fact that ONE TRILLION DOLLARS is a stack of MILLION DOLLAR BILLS 416
feet high. We will never be able to pay that off, and the money now being
handed out will never be repaid by the recipients, only by YOU the taxpayers.
Obama is redistributing the Wealth of America alright, but it’s your wealth to
the old Wealthy, who are smiling all the way home from the bank, with Trillions
you will never see again.
Earmarks for 2009, already
listed as over 9000, Americans we have a disaster on our hands, President Obama
is being led by some people like George Sorus who financed his walk in to the
White House. President Obama is so naïve that he thinks he is in charge, he is
just a puppet on strings.
Our great government has a fleet of Limo’s parked behind
the capital. Of course these limo’s have to be replaced every few years, so our
politicians can ride in the latest models. The engines on these Limo’s are
running all the time they are parked, to keep the interior temperature
comfortable when the politician wants to go somewhere. I want a Bus System set
up to transport our Congress and Senate members when they have to go somewhere
from the Capital. NO more Limo’s.
There are so many abuses of the taxpayer’s money, and I’m going
to cancel 99% of those boondoggles. Enough of squandering “our” money.
Oh I’m not going to be popular with the Washington DC crowd,
either put out, or get out, will be my policy. They have lived off of us for
over 200 years, lets stop this.
Now take a look
below, about 165 projects for “Fiscal-Year 2007”, out of about 25,000 projects.
March 2009, Obama
just signed off on 8600 Earmarks (Pork) for $7.7 Billion, now he wants more
Billions to feed the hungry in the world, more Billions for Medical care for
all Americans, more billions and billions, we are talking Trillions in the long
run. Below is just an example of what many of these feel good bills are
spending your money to do.
This of course doesn’t include any military, or defense spending. How
many of these would you have given your money to fund these projects? How many
of them should be financed by the Federal Government?
This is just 163 items being paid for by your taxes this
year, Isn’t this wonderful? Would you like to donate more taxes for these
bills? How many of these would you approve if this was your money, and it is.
Wake up, and start
complaining, this is only the tip of the iceberg where our money is going.
Notice that not One Dollar
went to build the “Poor Houses” we are going to need.
How many of these dollars
were YOUR dollars?

in their communities:
Special:
11 June 2007: DO NOT BE SILENCED BY SEN. LINDSAY GRAHAM
“STAND UP! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!”
Senator
Graham was speaking in front of La Raza, a group that openly
collaborates with MEChA, RADICAL- RACIST Chicano extremist political
organizations that actively seek the removal of all “white Europeans” from the
western U.S.
Senator Lindsay Graham showed where his true loyalties lie, as he received La
Raza’s award for his efforts to pass an Amnesty bill on their behalf.
Sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy and Congressman John McCain, this bill is a
destruction of American sovereignty and the essential rights and duties of U.S.
citizenship.
Now the House of Representatives
is considering the "Hope Fund Act of 2007" to give more hard-earned
U.S. taxpayer dollars to La Raza and their racist, hate group agenda. H.R. 1999
provides appropriations for “assistance” for the National Council of La Raza
and the Raza Development Fund.
WashingtonWatch.com - H.R. 1999, The Hope
Fund Act of 2007 H.R. 1999
would authorize appropriations for assistance for the
National Council of La Raza and, The Raza Development Fund
