Whenever congress can get its grubby hands on taxpayer money under some noble sounding excuse it is ripoff time for reelection pork. That is what this congress is about and there’s nothing that can change this for many years to come.

When the fiat “money” in your accounts buys less & less, remember to thank the presidential failures of George W Bush for allowing this to be possible.

Billions here and billions more there.

WITH WHAT?!?!?

Yakko77 on January 28, 2009 at 11:42 AM
A good question and one I don’t see a lot of discussion about. I think there are 3 main answers:
1. Taxes: Take it from the private sector to put it back in the private sector. Simply government-managed re-distribution from productive capital to waste.
2. Print more money: Leading to inflation and anything but economic growth.
3.Debt: Remember Argentina? In fact this type of Government role in the economy is what turned Argentina from a rich country into a bankrupt one with unmanageable debt, inflation and political corruption.

1. No, you only take from the private sector what is needed to run the duties of The Republic.
2. You only print what is necessary to replace what is damaged in circulation and accommodate the growth of the GNP.
3. Well, the folks wanted “Hope & Change”, looks like it’s a coming on full steam.

Not sure but do I know you? From TwilightTowers chat?

Sorry, I’ve never been there. I don’t frequent chat rooms too much. I’ll leave a message on a forum like this somewhat often but I might have to check out the site you mentioned.

U know this is just the tip of the iceberg………This is nothing but a “SHELL GAME” and funneling money wherever they want. Remember that PRIVATE ARMY ~~Osama~~ Obama wants, where did u think he was gonna get the money for that little project??? The army he wants to be as powerful as the U.S. military……….

Kinda makes u wonder……….maybe they are preparing for a revolution as well!!!!!!!!

AND they want to take away OUR GUNS,…..SCARY AS HELL

Great post.
Besides the socialistic ideology of the bill,and obvious”Pay to Play” going on,I am worried about the Inflation scenario that is looming in the future.

This Trillion dollar rip off is just the beginning of the total disaster that the democratic party is leading this country to in their quest for liberal supremacy.

This is more like scrappel being made.
