Same Old Pork-Barrel Spending - He Lied About Change
February 12, 2009 | los angeles, California | Vetting explained
Obama's stimulus package is nothing but more of the same - old fashioned liberal pork barrell spending - filled with wasteful government programs that do not create any real jobs!
In order for the government to "create" a phoney baloney govt job, it first has to tax (steal) the money from real workers in this economy, and then it creates a bogus "feel good" program for this wacko environmental group or that leftist flunky artist who can't produce anything the public wants.
Instead of giving Americans real incentives, like lowering payroll taxes, lowering capital gains and letting hard working Americans deduct interest from credit cards, car loans etc. off our taxes to incentive individuals to spend and businesses to expand -- NO, this ignorant government wants to feel good. It is only interested in stealing your money, not giving it back to you. Look at the hideous way they plan to spend your money:
$246 million tax break for Hollywood producers to buy film (How many jobs will this create?)
$150 million for Smithsonian museum facilities.
$75 million for "smoking cessation activities."
$850 million for Amtrak - which has always lost money - this is money going down the toilet.
And millions to protect a wetland mouse.
All these bogus programs are liberal giveaways and will result in NO JOB GROWTH. Obama is proving to be an old fashioned, cigar-smoking politician who only gives lip service.
I don't see any Change occurring in Washington.
