Is that what you call taking money from other people to flush down a rat hole and get nothing in return? Sacrifice? I always thought that was called stealing.
The thing that irks me most are the rather vague references like "higher education modernization" or "rural, high-need areas to undertake projects using sustainable and energy-efficient building and rehabilitation practices."
Well, what the hell is that?
This is a Pandora's box of spend now, define later pipe dream socialism that is sure to create nothing except more government bureaucracy. This is not the answer Obama.
$650 million more for converter boxes? How bout getting a freakin' job and paying for it yourself!
$1.5 billion for rehab low-income housing using green technology? Didn't Obama send scads of dollars into inner-city slums in Chicago to nil effect? Or did I just dream that?
Conservatives are some greedy fucks.
"Conservatives are some greedy fucks."
Shouldn't you be getting ready for the pig sex orgy?
I shall play the world's tiniest violin for the white trash conservatives that are pissed off that the underserved are finally getting some breaks.
Greedy fucks.
"I shall play the world's tiniest violin for the white trash conservatives that are pissed off that the underserved are finally getting some breaks."
No you won't. You're too lazy and stupid to play the violin.
I play the violin, so yes, I will be playing a tiny one for the poor widdle selfish bigots.
