The Porker of All Porkers -"Here Pig Pig Pig"

How would you like to take you credit card and go on a spending spree to get yourself out of debt? Wouldn’t it be great to take one of those check offers that comes in the mail from the credit card company to eliminate all of your debt. It is a unique concept to borrow oneself out of debt.

It is hyper borrowing and spending that got us into this mess in the first place and now our government has proposed massive spending that is to reverse the contraction of our economy. As the Scripture says, “We reap what we sow”

Last week the US House of Representatives passed the so called (Speaker Nancy Pelosi created)“Economic Stimulus Plan,” a plan to borrow $1.7 trillion dollars in bloated pork goodies with less than 5 per cent of the funds going to repair America’s deteriorating infrastructure.

Neither one Republican nor 11 Democrats voted in favor of the “stimulus bill” that is nothing more than a massive irresponsible bloated spending spree that further in debts our nation. Create more debt to get out of debt.

Every problem plaguing our economy can be traced directly to some government policy or lack of government over site. Centrally managed economies like those in socialist style governments in Europe don’t work. Economic planning like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 have failed over and over again.

This bill is not about creating new jobs. It is about one party’s pork-barrel earmarks that will further in debt our nation. Here are a few of the non-job creating provisions of the bill:

• Illegal aliens eligible for federal cash up to $1000 with taxpayer identification number (TIN).
• $4 billion for neighborhood stabilization activities-feeding trough for ACORN.
• $50 million for the National Endowment of the Arts-remember the “Piss Christ” paid for by taxpayer money.
• $335 million to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
• $600 million for ‘climate change” research.
• $2 billion for subsidized child care.
• $75 million to fund programs to help people stop smoking. (What happened to all of that money the government got when they settled with the tobacco industry?)
• $650 million in coupons to help consumers convert their TV’s to receive digital signals.
• $2.4 billion to show how carbon gases can be removed from the atmosphere.
• $1 billion to further subsidize the loser Amtrak who hasn’t earned a profit in 40 years.
• $400 million for research into global weather change.
• $600 million to buy new cars and trucks for federal employees. (What are we going to do with all of those used vehicles?)
• $21 million to re-sod the National Mall that got mauled during the Inauguration and to help pay DC for cleaning up the tons of garbage the city was buried under.
• $2.25 billion for national parks. (Our national parks are in bad shape and have been underfunded.)
• $87 billion for Medicaid.
• $53 billion for a “smart electricity grid.”
• $20 billion for an additional food stamp plan.
• $13 billion to weatherize public housing, help the homeless, repair foreclosed homes.
• $54 billion for science facilities, high speed Internet, and energy programs.
  

The above is only some of the non-job creating programs the bill contains and does not include all of the 32 new federal funded programs. When you add the interest ($347 billion) to the $819 billion pork barrel bill you will find it will cost approximately $1.17 trillion. What has been portrayed as a stimulus bill is nothing than a bloated spending bill. Most of the spending doesn’t occur until election years 2010 and 2012. Are you surprised!

Now the bill is in the senate so make a difference by contacting your US Senators and let them know you mean business by telling them to vote “NO” to this over sized pork bill (S.1) by going to the following web page and sending them an e-mail which you can customize if you like. It is easy to do and doesn’t take that much time.

I urge you to send a powerful message to your U.S. Senators today that you oppose this bloated, ill-conceived, pork plan!.

Here "pig, pig, pig, suee, suee!"

If you click on the above and it doesn't take you to the Council For Citizens Against Government Waste then copy the following into your browser and send your e-mail to your Senators today!
