Democrats and money...

Well it's Saturday and the MSSM is reporting on some "financial" issues that the Democrats have their fingers in:

Daschle and taxes

Defense Department budget


Congress gives itself $93K for "petty cash"

But Barry has the guts to scold Wall Street about bonuses? Looks like there's a disconnect here. This is a man who stood there during the primary and general election campaign and preached "hope" and "change", and scolded Americans about their SUV's and thermostats cranked up to 72 degrees, but he and his fellow Democrats are spending money like it's going out of style...to benefit their "friends" and "special interests" more that helping us out.

If the Democrats are so concerned about the economy then I have a proposal for them. Every citizen that has files a tax form over the last five years, making less than $100K for single filers, $250K for married, that does not owe back taxes is entitled to a "bailout" of $5-$10K. Money could be used to pay off school loans, credit card debt, saving for college - something to "stimulate the economy".

I don't know about you, but I bet I could put that money to better use than the Democrats and their friends could.

Hope and change is at it again...

Well, according to Fox News and other websites, President Barry is now telling the Defense Department to slash the FY2010 budget by 11%. He's already delayed/killed missile defense for Eastern Europe, and has been making overtures to Iran and North Korea.

I don't know about you, but he's gonna hurt those in uniform harder than Jimmah Carter did in the 1980's (and for you youngsters, things were really bad back them). Someone needs to sack up (Secretary of Defense Gates???) and get it through to Barry that he's cutting off America's nose...at the expense of national security.
