Freedom of BLEEP

Less than one week after passing the $787 billion stimulus bill, the Democrats have already unveiled another $410 billion spending bill to increase revenue for government programs.

Didn’t President Obama call for more fiscal responsibility during his speech at the Economic Summit on Monday? Apparently someone forgot to pass the memo - possibly the head of Obama’s National Economic Council who actually fell asleep during the conference!

According to the Associated Press, the new spending bill includes thousands of earmarks, pet projects, and other forms of pork barrel spending.

Recovery: A Laughing Matter?

When combined with funding from the “economic stimulus,” there has been an astronomical increase in spending on government programs. Where is the extra money going to come from?

During his campaign, Obama said he would run the most transparent government we’ve ever had. But the new stimulus bill is up for vote today, and the Republican congressmen still haven’t even seen it - let alone the general public!

The day after inauguration, our President said, “Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency. Our commitment to openness means more than simply informing the American people about how decisions are made.”

Well at least we know how decisions are made… Congressmen will have only a few hours to read hundreds of pages of legislation before 9 AM!

What happened to the democrats’ promise that the new stimulus bill would be posted on the internet at least 48 hours prior to the vote? They flat out lied. Why are they are so afraid of letting the American people know what’s in this bill?

Furthermore, our President has been telling lies left and right to get this bill passed. According to Obama, the CEO of Caterpillar “said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”

But Jim Owens actually said the exact opposite! “I think realistically no. The reality is we’re going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again.”

What else is Obama lying about?

FEAR. It’s the only apparatus that democrats have left to get their “stimulus” bill passed, especially as the general public becomes more aware of their idiotic plan. According to the latest poll, only 37% of the nation supports the stimulus package in its current form.

Now democrats have resorted to the drastic measures of making up statistics. Nancy Pelosi said “every month we do not have an economic recover package 500 MILLION Americans lose their jobs.” 500 million? As in 200 million more than the entire U.S. population? Could she have meant 500 thousand? That figure would still be inaccurate. It’s just smoke in mirrors, a scare tactic to make people support her.

President Obama is using the same tactics, saying if the bill isn’t passed now we will enter into a depression which “we may not be able to reverse.” But remember, this is coming from the same guy who said the national deficit doesn’t matter.

Apparently the Democratic Caucus agrees that the deficit doesn’t matter. They are spending $100,000 of taxpayer money on a trip to the country club this weekend…
