spending spree

Yet another insane spending plan, 3.6 trillion, that is 3,600.000.000.000.00 budget.
What’s next? Million, Billion, Trillion, Quadrillion, Quintillion, Hexillion, Septillion, Octillion, Nonillion, Decillion, Undecillion, Dodecillion and on and on, these are the Latin prefixes for denominational increases. A million use to be a lot of money, now it’s chump change.
Obama and Congress has the dubious distinction of being the man and the people who have spent more that any other person or people in the history of mankind, and get this, it isn’t near over and he has only been there for a month. We thought Bush spent like a crazed lunatic. These guys make him look like a piker.
Omnibus, Definition: Pertaining to, including, or dealing with numerous objects or items at once: an omnibus bill submitted to a legislature.
They did nothing but complain about George Bush and yet now they are saying because of the budget cutbacks of Bush they need to spend all this money, well which is it, that he spent too much, or that he cut back, they can’t have it both ways. No one has ever spent this much money so quickly. It almost looks to me that they are trying desperately to bankrupt the country, a.k.a. the taxpayer.
Are these guys out of their minds? Did you see some of the crap that they want us to pay for? They already passed it, so we are paying for it.
Whatever happened to campaign promises. I thought we were looking forward to a new Washington without earmarks. This new omnibus $410 billion spending bill has 9,000 earmarks. Many of which look ridiculous at first glance, however at closer inspection some actually do have some redeeming qualities.
Modesto bee: We know there have been beehive problems the last few years and without bees we get nothing to eat.
Tattoo removal: This on it’s face looks foolish and stupid, but if you have a former gang member that wishes to become a productive member of society, he or she will have to expunge all traces of affiliation with gangs and removing the tats is what this money is for.
Fruit fly: I suppose when you look at the individual earmarks some are worthy. If the fruit flies attack the crops, the citrus and the rest of the growers will go belly up and we will have no food once again, add to that the corn they are using for fuel and there is another disaster in the making.
The Maine lobster earmark: is another one that researches farming lobsters to improve the market and the availability.
Foot odor research: Something smells funny here.
School voucher program in D.C. bye, bye
Bush tax cuts: bye, bye
Universal healthcare: $634 Billion, and that is only a down payment.Are we beginning to see the irony of this? In times when everyone in government keeps telling us that we have to cut back and be frugal, Washington is spending like there is no tomorrow, guess what, they keep this up and there will be no tomorrow.
