The remark against the lead paint thing is incredibly DUMB!!! Are you a repub? “Just don’t use lead based paint?” “Let them eat cake?”
HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE OLD buildings who are covered in lead based paint????
Or don’t inner city buildings factor ever in your life? You know, where mostly black people live?
and nobody thinks to check the link …

That’s over 124 BILLION dollars in pork.
I’m especially fond of the 75 million to pay for salaries in the FBI. Were their projections so bad that they are already out of money, or is this evidence of Obama re-instating the failed Clinton policy of treating the Global War on Terror as a police activity?
How about another 650 billion to allow people to buy TV converters for the switch to digital. I never spent my expired coupons- how many other people ordered them and didn’t spend them? How much money has fallen through the cracks on this already?
400 million to prevent STD’s. I have one comment- zip up your fly- it’ll save us 400 million dollars.
Lastly 2 BILLION DOLLARS to fund a clean coal plant that has already been deemed a failure.
3 Million for the First Lady’s closet re-do
Resolved Question: How can any of you say that GWB left a huge debt for Obama to clean up when BO outspent that in 4 months?
GWB fought 2 wars and had disasters like Katrina.
BO IS SPENDING FOOLISHLY…
