Clowns with Credit Cards

There is a bill circulating in Congress intended to fund the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan.  This is fairly typical since all spending by Congress is deficit spending, so a special fiscal approval bill must be passed by both houses and sent to the president for signature.  An interesting thing happened to the current bill while in the House of Representatives.  An addition $20 billion in domestic spending was added.  Here is what our representatives did with the credit card our children will pay off:

• $10 billion in aid to states to help avoid teacher layoffs - Wasn't this what the Stimulus bill was used for?
• $5 billion for collegiate Pell Grants
• $142 million to help clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico - Didn't our President tell us that BP would pay all costs?
• $1 billion to assist youths find summer work
• $1.15 to compensate black farmers who argue the Department of Agriculture discriminated against them for years when it came to approving loans - the government settled a lawsuit with black farmers more than a decade ago but many missed the deadline to file claims. The money in this legislation is designed to help those who filed late.

This is what you get when 535 out of touch clowns are given a credit card with no limit.  It is time to vote them all into retirement.
