There are now trillions of dollars that are being spent to ostensibly correct an out-of-control problem in our country. The money comes from my metaphorical chicken coop.
Who is watching the coop to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent wisely? The answer is a large group of U.S citizens called Americans.
Now within this large mass of people the group that actually spends our tax money is Congress. Not the President, not the Vice-President but Congress.
It has oftentimes amused me, then later bemused me that our alleged representatives in the Senate and House of Representatives are frequently heard and seen (on the airwaves, press conferences, television programs etc etc.) pointing their soiled fingers at the President for overspending.
Let's not delude ourselves! Let's not allow these men and woman in Congress to continually point accusatory fingers at the President for ear marking pork projects. The money for these porky projects go back to the communities of our great nation. They don't go up to the white house for the president's personal gain.
The monies go back to build bridges so that alligators and turtles can cross underneath the highway(millions of dollars mind you); or to states to build skateboard parks; or millions to protect the salt marsh mouse down California way or for ????/
Now about that recession and the emergency that needed to be addressed? Billions of dollars... none of which was to be for earmarks! Please! Stop! I can't continue to laugh this much.
