I'm sorry man, I just can't take what you're saying seriously when you won't even use their real names. It's the sort of willing stupidity that should be kept to arfcom GD.

"You're just as bad as them". I was actually not pointing fingers at you at all, I mean- you have been in my home pal. Trying- although I was struggling- to be mellow and coherent. The stimulus programs were pushed by the admin(except for the 1st- by Bush)- i.e. Obama, because like all Keynesians, he thinks gov't spending is all that it takes to bring a country out of a recession, even though it has NEVER worked on it's own. Yes I absolutely believe much more power needs to be relinquished to the individual states, as I think that the people of THAT state should drive its social/fiscal programs, based on the needs of the people of that state. The MONEY is going to the states, BLUE states, not the red states, then being redistributed as that governor wishes. Your last statement is irrelevant, as it has nothing to do with the conversation, and is not so simplistic as you try to make it sound,

You were doing a pretty bad job of not pointing fingers by attempting to "out" me as some Obama voter, or whatever you were attempting to do.

Source of money going to blue states?

And the stimulus money is for construction projects and the construction projects are completed by private contractors. Seems pretty relevant to me?

I'm sorry man, I just can't take what you're saying seriously when you won't even use their real names. It's the sort of willing stupidity that should be kept to arfcom GD.

Mind being a little clear on who/what you're talking to/about?

After looking for 2-3 years, some people get desperate.

I respect peoples rights to protest, but not when they can't be decent human beings about it and break the law.

The biggest problem we have today isn't big corporations, isn't Obama, isn't the white house. It's the fact the president has a limit of 2 terms, while the senate and congress can serve as long as they are voted. Fundamental problems have existed through multiple presidencies because we have the same crooked senators and congressman who's campaigns are funded by lobby groups that it makes it practically impossible for regular joe to go run for these positions.

Back in the day when America was a true republic anyone could run for office, poor, rich it didn't matter. Today it's really the 1% that can even afford to run for these "public" positions.
