Seriously... it was only a matter of time before this would come out.

Unfortunately this is only the beginning. I laughed when I saw the headlines today seeing Obama may ask for another stimulus package. The first one was all smoke and mirrors and I bet mostly financing pork projects.

Socialism is coming fast and furious if its not here already I kid you not.

Well ... I guess I'd rather see tax money paid to state workers than tax money going to pay bonuses for bankers ...

I think you better check your source because "nobody messes with Joe."

Billions in aid go to areas that backed Obama in '08 - USATODAY.com

Counties that supported Obama last year have reaped twice as much money per person from the administration's $787 billion economic stimulus package as those that voted for his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, a USA TODAY analysis of government disclosure and accounting records shows. That money includes aid to repair military bases, improve public housing and help students pay for college.

Just like FDR...

And Obama took all the people to the mountain top and said all this can be yours, if only for the price of your soul.
