Barack's Spending Spree

Today's topic is one of great concern to this country and on the tip of every American's tongue, Obama's "Stimulus" Package that is meant to revive the economy and get us out of the depression that we are sinking further into. The debate continues of in Washington as to whether Obama's plan is good or bad and what should be done to fix the economy. In all honest opinion, as Sen. Lindsey Graham said today, "This process stinks", and it does. This "Stimulus" Package, if you can even call it that is being forced down our throats as quick as possible. Worse yet, the way it is being done is a matter of concern. Everyone complained over and over again that Bush and his administration used fear mongering tactics to achieve goals, especially the war in Iraq. Unfortunately, Barack Obama is doing the same thing, if not worse, because he has only been in office for not even a month. Today he said,

"Because each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes".... "And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse."

Bascially, what Obama is saying, is that if his "Stimulus" Package (and yes i keep putting emphasis on the word Stimulus but I will address that a bit later) is not passed and as quick as possible then the depression is going to get worse and more and more people are going to lose their jobs. He is willingly trying to scare Americans into believing that if they don't follow his plan and as quickly, and more alarmingly, blindly, then things are going to get worse. If you want my opinion, if we follow this plan as quickly as possible things are going to get worse, not the other way around Barack. Yes the country is in a terrible state and needs desperate help, but your plan Mr. President is not the way to get it fixed. You are shoving this down our throat by intimidating and scaring us. Didn't you say you represented "Change"??? That you would change the policies of Washington and make this country great again??? Well I'm finding that hard to believe. How can you call yourself a leader, Barack, if you are trying to scare the ones you lead??? Name one great leader that used these tactics to achieve their goals. The only leader, or leaders, that come to mind that used scare tactics are a few men you made have heard of....Hitler ring a bell anyone?? How about Stalin??? I'm sure you have heard of one of these fine individuals. Wait a minute, maybe this change Barack was refering to on the campaign trail was really change from the previous policies by leading us to a Socialist state??? Well thats fitting that Barack is turning us Socialist because the tactics he is using only a month in office are those used by SOCIALIST DICTATORS!!!!! Off to a good start, Barack.

Now I know what alot of people are thinking, I want Obama to fail just like Rush Limbaugh, who in all honesty received too much media coverage for what he said when there are so many important issues out there that need coverage. Let me say this, I dont want Obama to fail, in fact there is nothing more that I want than for him to fix this country and bring us back to prosperity and respect throughout the world. But what I don't want is to become another Socialist state, in which the government controls the actions of the people, uses fear to pass legislation, and oppresses the people for the gain of a select few. Yes socialism, on paper is a wonderful idea, but thats where it ends, on paper. History has proved that socialism does not work because there will always be those who wish to use power to gain advantage and control over others, this is why we cannot afford to follow the same path as the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

Now as for the "Stimulus" Package, I have been calling it a "Stimulus" Package because in all honesty, I DON'T SEE WHAT IT STIMULATES!!! I think its better that it should be refered to as Glenn Beck refers to it, a Spending Package. This Spending Package is over 600 pages long and is supposed to infuse another trillion, yes that rights TRILLION with a T, into the nation in hopes to fix the economy. It includes some tax breaks to give Americans some more money, but overall the package spends and spends and spends. Why, in this depression we are facing, willing to spend another trillion dollars??? Worse yet, some of the industries and organizations that will receive this money is startling. Some of this money includes:$400 million to convert government cars to hybrids, $1 billion for production of advanced batteries, $79 billion for state stabilization, $1.5 billion for "green" energy, $4.5 billion for a "smart" electricity grid, $1.7 million for the state parks,$850 million for Amtrak (a train that "hasn't turned a profit in 50 years" as Glenn Beck pointed out in his show), $650 million for digital tv coupons, $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, and the list goes on. This administration actually wants to throw a ridiculous amount of money, almost 1 trillion, to numerous institutions and organizations that will not help the economy any. Why isn't this money going where it can be of the most use to the people?? I think I remember hearing every man, woman, and child could get $2400 dollars each, that includes children. Yet the President wants Congress to pass this package that will throw money at organization that will not fix the economy. In all honesty, this Spending Package, is nothing more than a way for Obama to pay off not only his friends and supporters, but to achieve his agenda covering it up as a way to fix the economy. This is a gross violation of the office of President of the United States. He is lying to the people by claiming this will fix the economy and he is willing to using scare tactics to achieve his ends?? Am I one of the only people who are capable of seeing this????

Overall, this Spending Package is not only a waste of time, but a waste of taxpayer money that will most likely not even fix this depression but make it worse. How is turning government buildings and cars going to fix the economy?? How is giving money for the digital tv switchover going to fix the economy?? How is the National Endowment of the Arts going to fix this economy??? What this Spending Package is, is simply this, a way for the President to achieve his agenda with one simple act of Congress and force his pork-barrell spending, something he claimed he was against and wanted to change, down our throats to get the funding needed for Al Gore's pet "global warming", (which is now being called "climate change" by liberals because AL GORE WAS WRONG AND GLOBAL WARMING WAS A HOAX TO MAKE MONEY!!!) and other institutions and organizations the liberals support. This is ridiculous America, and worse yet ,you and many other Americans are willing to follow along blindly simply because you were swept away with Barack Obama and his speechcraft. Another nation did that people and it was called Nazi Germany under the leadership of Adolph Hitler!!! That really went well, the only thing that happened was Europe was totally destroyed!!! People it is time to wake up and see that we are the only ones to make a difference. We don't answer to the government, the government answers to us. That is what your Founding Fathers believed. The government is here "For the people, and by the people." Don't let yourself to be suckered in by Obama and his socialist-laden speechcraft. Listen to what he and other elected officials are saying and more importantly, what they are trying to do. This Spending Package is wrong. It is only another step toward Socialism in this country. "Charity is not among the legislative duties of the government." That was said by one of the smartest men to ever live, James Madison. The same man who single handily wrote the Bill of Rights. The government that was founded with the Constitution in 1789 was not created to dish out 1 trillion dollars, a number that matches the entire debt accumulated by the US from the American Revolution to modern day. Bank of America, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac have already been taken over by the government, and its only a matter of time until more organizations take that plunge into Socialism. This country was once great under Capitalism and I believe can still be, but we cannot allow ourselves to fall under the iron boot of Socialism for things will only get worse. This Spending Package is one of the first steps toward Socialism and if it passes, I fear for the worst. It's time people realize what this government is trying to do, and its time to realize that the opposition has been silenced through the biased media of CNN, NBC, and others. We must seek the truth, for our survival as a free nation depends upon it.
