All The Dems are Missing is a Gun and a Dark Alley
Mother of God, what are the Democrats doing? Their stimulus bill is a Caligula-level orgy of paybacks to their political contributors, New Deal hallucinatory delusions, and more pork than the night terrors of Osama bin Laden. When I heard John Boehner’s reaction to seeing the draft bill, I thought he was overdoing it a touch.
He’s not.
Amanda Carpenter, who earned herself a medal going through the draft line by line, compiled a partial list of the ways that Democrats plan to buy themselves yet more political power while sticking you with the bill. What they’re doing technically isn’t robbery, but in reality, it’s no different.
I put a good chunk of that list below the jump. Do make sure you’re sitting down. Do note how much of the money is going to “green” causes to combat global warming that doesn’t actually exist. I wonder if the next passle of cash will go toward eliminating the Bigfoot menace or dredging Lake Champlain to teach Champy a lesson.
-$6 billion to weatherize “modest income homes.”
-$6 billion to provide internet in “underserved” areas
-$6 billion for “higher education modernization.”
-$20 billion in health information technology to “prevent medial mistakes.”
-$20 billion to increase food stamp funding
-$87 billion to provide a “temporary” increase in Medicaid funding
-$300 million to provide rebates for people who purchase Energy Star products
-$600 million for the federal government to buy brand new energy efficient cars
-$400 million for state and local governments to buy brand new energy efficient cars
-$2.4 billion for carbon capture demonstration programs
-$350 million to research using energy efficient technology on military bases
-$300 million for grants and loans to state and local governments for projects that reduce diesel emissions, “benefiting public health and reducing global warming”
-$500 million for energy efficient manufacturing demonstration projects.
-$400 million to build major research facilities “that perform cutting edge science”
-$1.5 billion for expanding “good jobs in biomedical research”
-$400 million “to put more scientists to work doing climate change research”
-$600 million for satellite development and acquisitions, including climate sensors and climate modeling.
-$250 million “to address long-term economic distress in urban industrial cores and rural areas distributed based on need and ability to create jobs and attract private investment.”
-$650 million to continue the coupon program to enable American households to convert from analog television transmission to digital transmission.
This bill need to die, hard, fast, and as messily as possible. Then the GOP needs to take the draft and make as many 30-second ads as they can possibly make and get every one of them onto the airwaves right now. I don’t care if they spend every last dime doing it.

If there's anything a Democrat is an expert in, it's using our money to buy his way to increased power and reelection.
We have to convince our team to make them stop demanding protection money.
Fishie, I'd rather have our team out there telling everyone that they don't have to pay into the racket – that there's a better way.
