So, in addition to health care for ILLEGALS and cutting military spending and appointing lobbyists and tax evaders to his administration, we are now giving Hollywood a handout. http://www.lp.org/blogs/donny-ferguson/dems-plan-246-million-tax-break-for-hollywood-pals-tax-hikes-for-others So, at what point do people stop worshiping him and realize he was a bad choice to run this country because he doesn't have a clue and he's as corrupt a politician as we've ever had?

The president said no earmarks in the stimulate package and the goverment is going to cut pork spending - they have lied on both accounts. When I watched the news last night I could not believe the list of things the goverment is spending billions of dollars on. Stupid things. Will Amercia ever take a stand against these things? What ever happened to the goverment works for us - not we are controlled and scared of the goverment?

I know people are blaming the republicans because the current bill failed this morning, somebody forgot to mention the 2,322 pork projects has been a real hot issues for days on capitol hill. I tend to look at it this way if the demarcates really wanted to take care of the American tax payers on main street then why have they add pork barrel spending at the tune of 6.6 billions in to this emergency bill. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/29/mccain-skips-spending-vote-accepts-earmarks/ Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:01:25 GMT kennyrose http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1640420.aspx To some in Washington your money is only useful when it is to build something with their name on it, but that is about to change.

Why is USA broke and why is our government having to borrow. Sounds like one big ponzi scheme to me and others have gone to jail, doing the very same thing.
