And not in a good way either. As President Obama and his minions trot out this wonderful plan that will get the country back on it's feet in 2013, voters are wondering, "Did I sign up for this? Yes, all the voters who hoped for change have gotten their wish. There is change big time, The government is shaking it out of our wallets and into their hands. Shall we take a look at the plan that the Senate and House has agreed on? What does $798 trillion dollars buys us these days?
New schools. Wonderful! Property taxes should cover this cost, but I guess it is not enough. So the Federal government has taken over responsibility for this. Perhaps the local government of each community would like to rebate their citizens for money that was collected for their schools. While the rest of country who are not getting new schools will have to pay for our local schools AND the schools in Chicago. Talk about getting hit on both sides.
New Roads and bridges. Again, taxpayers are hit twice for projects that the state collects through property taxes and gas tax. Where does all this money go? How can we be sure that the extra funds will be applied where they are suppose to and not lining the pockets of some Washington Big Shot. In Michigan, there are so many pot holes on the roads that the cars may soon disappear into them. Especially the hybrid cars, they could be swallowed whole and be a nice coffin for the passengers. At least with an SUV there might be a chance to be found before it was too late. Granholm has raised taxes, yet the roads are in a constant state of disrepair. Again... where does the money go?
STD Prevention and family planning. Obama might have told Pelosi to take it out but none of the Senators who have actually voted on this debacle have said they read the whole 800 pages. Who's to say that it is not in fine print? It probably is but let's remember that this is suppose to be a transparent government. That is why they did everything behind closed doors. Making deals left and left, without once listening to the growing number of voters who are fed up with their plans. They've come to an agreement, good for them. Disaster for us!
A new healthcare administration that will make people want to dig their own grave, With a new Healthcare czar the Administration will seize hold of everyone's medical records and commence to make medical decisions for you. The unworthy taxpayer who pays for this through the nose but yet does not have a say in their healthcare. In high school, it was fascinating to hear how the people in Communist Russia lived. The thought often came through my head, "How can people live like that and take it?" We are about to find out! Come to think of it, has anyone noticed that the Administration have stopped using the word Czar? Could it be that they are worried that the public would catch onto their socialist, communist agenda?
ACORN. There isn't much more to say here. The political activist group who were monumental in getting this President elected by any means possible, is getting a nice payback. How they will stimulate the economy? They won't. However, they will do their best to keep the Democrats in power and may even work towards the goal of ending free elections. Don't think the current Administration would want that?
Tax rebate for non paying taxpayers. Would this include Daschle and Geither? Are they eligible for welfare? This is another scam to pay off voters. What is most offensive about this is that it is so blatantly obvious that they are BUYING votes with taxpayers dollars. This proves that most of the Senate and Congress are corrupt, all the way to the top of the chain of command.
As every American workers' wallets are being stimulated, the Democrats in Washington are grinning from ear to ear. This is their payday. My wallet can't take much more stimulation. There is barely enough to pay the bills, buy clothes and put food on the table. Michigan has been hit hard, and now the rest of the country is following. What next? Here's an idea, try stimulating the economy by cutting taxes, encourage businesses to reinvest in America by taking away restrictions and lowering corporate taxes. For all the dictators in Washington, now is the time to believe in the talent and strength of the American people instead of denying the freedom of its citizens to find their own happiness. The greatness of this country lies in the people not in the government. Get over yourselves, get out of the way and let capitalism do what it does best. CREATE PROSPERITY.
