Don't Tell Me Won't Have Any Money!

Surely you didn't think the politicians were serious about cutting back their spending did you? Remember that promise Obama made during the campaign?

when I am President I will go line-by-line to make sure we are not spending money unwisely

and as President

we are going to go through the federal budget page-by-page line-by-line

it's just too bad that he turned out to be more interested in his vacation time than keeping an eye on the budget

So what has he "missed"?

$3million studying World of Warcraft as a form of communication

$1million to post poetry at zoos -supposedly it was to deepen people's general feeling about the environment

$600,000 to archive Grateful Dead Memorabilia such as fliers & used concert tickets (seriously?)

150,000 to build a tunnel to keep salamanders from being ran over by cars

$175million so airlines could have air pickup in small towns where it would cost too much to fly for the return on ticket sales

$2million for a single 30second census ad for television

$500,000 to send DOCTORS to an AIDS conference in Austria (even though it was judged a waste of money)

never confuse reality with politics ....

BTW they have to raise taxes again because they don't have enough money for the "necessary" programs they have set up.

Say 'hello' to 75% income tax!
