There is enough pork in Obama's stimulus plan to feed a third world country. All I can conclude is that the Obamaites have no idea what is included in the stimulus bill. Atleast that is what I hope. If I am wrong, I am even more frightened because the fact that the American people approve these ridiculous pet projects is daunting. Oh my goodness! Obama is going to give us money and create 4 million jobs! The shepard has duped the sheep once again. Baaa!
Top five slices of pork contained in this fatty bill:
1. $200,000 for tattoo removal in California
2. $59 MILLION to study the mating habits of the Pacific salmon
3. $2 MILLION for the promotion of astronomy awareness in Hawaii
4. $800,000 to study catfish genetics
5. $1.8 Million for the study of the effect of swine odor on the environment
Does this not sound like a joke? Sounds like an SNL skit to me. I know the almighty defenders of the pork think this is ridiculous, but they continue to fight back with the argument, "it is going to create millions of jobs!".
Do people not see that we are artificially manufacturing jobs? The billions of dollars we are spending on these jobs within the bill, we will continue to pay every year from here on out, unless of course 5 years down the road the government decides to eliminate the positions. The government is creating meaningless jobs just so everyone can have their "fair share". Doesn't this sound a little like socialism? I guess that doesn't really matter, because for some odd reason the word "socialism" is no longer a bad thing. I used to think ignorance was bliss. Nevermind that.
