The point was that American taxpayers across the country are paying for Chicago's stuff.....why is that? I'll probably never get there to see it, and I don't want to pay for it. We don't make you guys pay for Disneyworld, so if you want a planetarium, great, buy it yourselves, not with our dime. But alas, that doesn't fit the ideal state of Socialism, so I will be chastised again for another post.
My apologies...comrades.
Don't give me that "American First" crap using an entertainment facility. Almost every male member of mine and my wife's family have fought in every single war since WWI to defend this country.
I don't mind one bit my tax dollars going to support the military who fights to keep your state, my state, and according to Obama, the other 45 states free from tyranny in the world. Nor do I mind our tax dollars being distributed to police, firemen, and other key support personnel in other states. But don't tell me I'm not putting American first because I don't want to pay for your entertainment centers. Are you for real?
I just found it funny how McCain calls for a massive new 300 billion bail out on the most irresponsible of lenders, then chided Obama for a 3 million dollar project at the nation's oldest planetarium.
Or to put another way...McCain proposes $3,000,000,000 on allowing TEH GOVERNMENT!!! to buy up all those bad mortgages at peak value.
Obama voted for a bill with an earmark that gave a $3,000,000 investment to the nation's oldest planetarium who's mission statement is to push kids into a career into the sciences.
So why is the $3,000,000,000 guy not getting any heat from you guys? You know how many planetariums could get cool sh*t with that kind of money?!
guess that isn't any worse than the bridge to nowhere... of course Palin will tell you she squashed that deal.... but she kept the money... So we paid for lining some Alaskan pockets. at least this is an educational end.

Someone has to take care of the rich. How else will the wealth "trickle down?"

Thanks for the Apology.
Ironically, the $3 million request was eventually rejected and the planetarium never received the funds, Knappenberger said.
