VIDEO: Your Tax Dollars @ Work–Gang Tattoo Removal, Alaska Earmark (Where’s Palin?), Etc.
By Debbie Schlussel
For all the Obama hype, claiming that the stimulus package’s associated omnibus spending bill doesn’t include earmarks, it’s a lie. It actually includes 9,000 earmarks, including tattoo removal for gang members in Los Angeles trying to get jobs. Yeah, let’s spend money on violent thugs to “reform” and get jobs and screw the innocent people who never joined gangs and defiled their bodies of their own volition. (Plus, wouldn’t you prefer that the evidence that someone was in a gang remain?)
Then, there’s at least one mentioned earmark for North Pole, Alaska. Since Sarah Palin keeps claiming she’s against the spending bill and earmarks (while at the same time grabbing for Alaska’s “fair share”), where is she on opposing the million for North Pole? Alaskan crickets chirping beneath the snow. (It’s the same stunt she pulled when she claimed she was against the “Bridge to Nowhere,” after she supported it.)
It’s the biggest increase in federal spending since 1978–that’s the Carter years, which the Obama years are starting to echo all too much. MUST WATCH VIDEO:
This is going to sound like I drank the “Palin’ade”, but really I think you are wrong about her and the stimulus. Everything I have read says she is only taking stimulus that does infrastructure that will help private enterprise directly…. ie… private construction companies building highways. And she has said she will not take anything that forces the state to change their laws in such a way that it makes any kind of relaince permanent, such as state taxes.
