Doh’bama's Administration and Congress' Pork

Source: FOXnews.com (Note: Couldn’t care less who likes/dislikes this as a referenced source, it is what it is for this date and I’ll continue tracking other independent sources re: this Administrations financial mismanagement-always do).

Full-disclosure: I claim Independent, never missed a vote in my life at any level, including while overseas and I’ve never cast vote for a Dem, never will. So yes…I’m biased right. That said; I fully realize both traditional parties screw the contituency and I have little favorable to say about either re: financial responsibility and their continuous failures historically.

But…it is THIS ADMINISTRATION in power now, the Socialists and their “Dear Leader” cult-of-personality shit-fest that are accountable and they have perpetuated the status quo and have again pissed away you and your family’s money. ObaMao flat-out lied, not that I ever doubted he and his failing senior leadership would manage with integrity, but they have failed you and yours as expected. Ah yes, change is great isn’t it?

These fucks make me sick...again!

Note: Check-out the paragraph "rationalizing" progress re: Pork reduction...laughable...come talk to me when the "pork-shit" is managed to $ZERO you losers.

Tracking Your Taxes: Defense Bill Pays for Prostate Screenings, Sprinkler System

By William La Jeunesse and Laura Prabucki - FOXNews.com

Extract:
President Obama pledged in August to cut all pork barrel projects from defense spending, threatening to veto any swollen bills that came across his desk -- a pledge shattered by nearly 2,000 pet projects that have made their way into the defense budget.

"If a project doesn't support our troops, we will not fund it," he said to a meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix. "If a system doesn't perform, we will terminate it. And if Congress sends me a defense bill loaded with that kind of pork, I will veto it. "

Just last week, Obama broke his promise as he signed into law the 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill -- a $636 billion behemoth loaded with $4.2 billion of pork.

"We should be concerned that we're getting ripped off," said Ryan Alexander, president of the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense.
"The earmarking process is the beginning of figuring out whether or not we're getting ripped off. Absolutely dollars are being directed, not based on the best decision making process."

In all, Congress added in 1,720 pet projects, including:
∙$5 million for a visitors center in San Francisco
∙$23 million for indigent health care in Hawaii
∙$18 million for the Edward Kennedy Policy Institute in Massachusetts
∙$1.6 million to computerize hospital records in Oakland
∙$47 million for anti-drug training centers around the country
∙$20 million for the World War II Museum in Louisiana
∙$3.9 million grant to develop an energy-efficient solar film for buildings
∙$800,000 for minority prostate cancer research
∙$3.6 million for marijuana eradication in Kentucky
∙$2.4 million for handicap access and a sprinkler system at a community club in New York

Different day, same shit. Not surprised, thanks for the heads up.

Makes me nuts too. Crap like this is exactly why we have a national debt.

Sadly, nothing will change untill we toss every single senator and representative (except for Ron Paul) and impeach Obama.

I know it will never happen. We're screwed.

∙$800,000 for minority prostate cancer research <---- WTF!?

A butthole is a butthole.

Congress wants to pass law after law - why don't they make crap like THAT illegal?

don't you just love new laws and taxes? that is what is wrong with the country. one hiccup and a new law and/or tax shows up fucking the rest of the people for the rest of their life only to be forced to accept it or go to jail over it.

My wife and I can't even mention politics anymore without going into a rage. A few shopping trips have been cut short as we are too upset to keep walking around in public.

This kind of thing really makes me want term limits. I know it won't happen because these leaches have bought votes along their careers by signing onto stuff like this but it drives me nuts! all the special interests and back room deals and ignoring why they are there! US! pisses me off. They sure remember to lie to us. "change" what change, its the damned same as it was, and every bit of thing I hoped would change is still sitting pretty. Don't get me started on "family values," I know all them don't cheat and run around like a drunk college kid at a frat party, but there sure seems to be a lot of "look what I say, what I do is my business, and completely repulsive." Makes me wonder, if a person so easily and willingly to lies to their God and their loved ones at their wedding, why do we trust them when they talk to a bunch of people they don't know and obviously don't respect.

The list goes on and on, and I can't think of a whole lot they have done for America in the past few years. Some tax reform passed, so as a country we collectively get poor, and further into China's pocket, in a different way, that's cool I guess.

So many people serve this country and people, proudly and honorably, both at home and abroad, but their bosses seem to be a bunch of people bent on lining their own pockets and putting notches on the bed posts. Or at best, serving their own interests and the interests of their friends instead of the people. Thats about a billion miles conceptually from what all the other PEOPLE of this country are doing when they sign up to serve, be it soldier or teacher or whatever.

-end rant, apologies.

couldn't agree more. My fiance and I get pissed almost every time we watch the news. she does a good job of keeping me under control though. I can at times go into some pretty good rages...especially while driving and I see the fucking libtards with their obama stickers
