If there is a dollar of credit available from the Chinese, Japanese, or Saudis, Nan will grab it to pork the country for votes.

has earmarked tens of millions of dollars to save the "marsh mouse" in her district. Our economy is collapsing and Enviro-wackodom is still flourishing in San Francisco - (what a surprise).
I'm just wonderin' if those things taste good - the people of the bay area may have to give up their fru-fru veganism and start frying the little fellas up after Obamas's Pork Barrel runs out.

For some reason, nobody gets the fact that almost all the money government spends comes from tax receipts. The only way for government to pay off debt is to increase tax rates or taxable moneys. US Government spending has this uncanny ability to increase faster than the US GDP, guaranteeing that we will be making larger and larger interest payments and never be able to pay off our debt. These interest payments make up an ever larger percentage of the US budget.

We have a brand new way to aid our economy.
We have a brand new way to fix out climate.
Al Gore finally gets some face time.
The Dem's finally have there way.
Nancy Pilosi gets what she wants.
Our Children's Children will be paying for it.
Its all brand new and rolled up into one......Its called Ecobamics and its here forever..
