HR1 - Lies and Waste!

The 'economic stimulus' plan 0f 2009 passed the house on Wednesday. Here is the link to the final vote on passage.

Note that no Republicans voted for the Federal Government to spend $800,000,000,000 that they don't have.

Note that 11 Democrats agreed with all of the Republicans that Washington doesn't need to waste another $800,000,000,000.

Yeas = no bi-partisan support

Nays = bi-partisan support

Congressman Shuler is a Democrat from North Carolina's 11th district. He says it so well...

"...In my opinion, the legislation before the House today contained too much

additional spending in areas that will not offer immediate economic stimulus. As our

nation faces an historic budget deficit and a national debt approaching $11 trillion, I

cannot in good conscience borrow and spend $825 billion, further burdening future

generations of Americans.”

Thank you Congressman Shuler.

Now it's time to let your Senators know that you would rather have a tax cut rather than the Government waste your money!

Nancy Doesn't Want Babies

There has been little doubt how the Left in America sees children. Here it is in her own words. The most powerful woman in American politics sees these miricles from God as financial burdens.

The Debate is Not Over.

A great way to 'win' an argument is to attack your opponent's character and declare that the debate is over for good. Sprinkle in some 'guilt by association' and you can shut down almost anyone.

"What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. Those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government." President Barack Obama - Inaugural Address - January 20, 2009

The debate, as to proper roll of the Federal Government in our lives and in our economy, is not over.

Hey Barney, It's Our Money!

Barney Frank gives away $12 million of our money to home state bank...

"Troubled OneUnited Bank in Boston didn't look much like a candidate for aid from the Treasury Department's bank bailout fund last fall..."

What do we get for $850,000,000,000?

They don't know either, but they are sure ready to spend it.

A Rocky Start to Openness!

"Although President Obama swept into office pledging transparency and a new air of openness, the press hammered spokesman Robert Gibbs for nearly an hour over a slate of perceived secretive slights that have piled up quickly for the new administration. It wasn't pretty."

Can Obama Take the Heat?

The media was very controlled during the election.

Now that he is the President of the United States, Obama can't set the rules any more. He is accountable to us.

"Asked how he could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a Deputy Defense Secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, Obama interrupted with a knowing smile on his face."

No Free Pass to Spend Our Money

"The first drafts of the plan would result in more spending on favored Democratic agenda items, such as federal funding of the arts, they said, but would do little to stimulate the ailing economy."

New Administration - A New Era of Openess?

"A growing media frustration with Barack Obama’s team spilled into the open at Thursday’s briefing, with reporters accusing the White House..."
