  1. The ONLY thing I ever liked about Obama (and I haven't heard a thing about it since) was publishing the budget.  I want to know where my money goes and how much of it.  Dollar for dollar or percentages...I don't care.  

    Congress should vote on the least favorable/necessary, then put them to vote for us to decide on.  

    We should also know WHY.  Why are people who have sworn our death and destruction getting our money?  

    And yeah, to the other guy...come stop by my hood.  I don't know what country you think you live in that we're doing fine and maybe even better-off shipping our money overseas.  


  2. Organize a Billion men March on Washington.  Camp out on the White House lawn.  Protest peacefully.  What do you think, ITTA?

  3. not vote for Obama who is a cosponsor of the GLOBAL POVERTY ACT

    which Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media wrote that the Global Poverty Act (S.2433) "would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid ... which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 Billion over and above what the U.S. already spends" to reduce global poverty.[1] Other outlets ran similar stories, including WorldNetDaily[2], which cites Kincaid as a source.. The bill requires the president to develop a plan to implement the Millennium Development Goal of reducing the amount of people who live on less than a dollar a day.

    Many Americans were alerted to the legislation by a report from Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy in Media. He published a critique asserting that while the Global Poverty Act sounds nice, the adoption could "result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States" and would make levels "of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations."

    He said the legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years he said would amount to $845 billion "over and above what the U.S. already spends."

  4. While I don't agree with the money going over seas, I also don't agree that my city or my kids are suffering as a result. Could you help me out there and share what I'm suffering from and how? My city and kids have more than enough money, quite literally in fact. And most of it state and local. But maybe your situation is different.
