To pork, or not to pork

While Obama spoke in his speech about ruling out adding pet spending projects to budget legislation, Senator John McCain said the budget bill coming up included 9,246 of those projects that would spend billions of dollars. So, is it full of pork or is it not? Take a look at where massive chunks of money are going and you decide if these are things that will ‘stimulate’ the economy.

March to Socialism – handling cash

Something socialists haven’t considered with their massive spending bill is will the organizations getting these massive amounts of cash, for example the HUD department, be managing $1.5 billion to prevent homelessness.  They have never been charged with ‘preventing homelessness’ before. Sounds like that will turn out well. But that’s not the only department that is suddenly going to be managing more money than they’ve ever fathomed having their hands on. (Transcript, Insider Audio)

CO2 satellite crashes and burns

In our spotlight on science, the greenies got enough cash from the government to send a $278 million satellite up into space in order to ‘learn more’ about CO2 and other items.

We Surround Them – Value # 10 Courage

We the Chimps

Remember the story from Connecticut about the chimpanzee who ripped the face off of a woman last week? Well, Congress is hard at work making sure THAT never happens again. There’s only one little problem – Congress is not hard at work for YOU. HR 80, the Captive Primate Safety Act, was actually a bill introduced in congress by the Humane Society to make sure the chimps, like the one that ripped the face off of a human being, would never be held captive in a cage at a home because that’s cruel and unusual punishment. They weren’t doing your bidding.  These spineless weasels were doing the bidding of the chimpanzees! The fact of the matter is that no one in Congress wanted to be seen as an animal hatemonger, so they all wimped out on this bill. If someone could summon just a shred of courage maybe we’d get more done for we the people and focus less on the rights of chimpanzees. (Transcript, Insider Audio)
