Morning Bell: The Pelosi-Obama-Reid Trillion Dollar Debt Plan
What Hillary Clinton couldn't do as First Nurse years ago, this bill will make government the default care giver for the unemployed and 3/4's of children in the United States. Recap: socialized medicine.
The bill will place the federal bureaucracy in charge, not parents and local school boards, of our children's education. "The New York Times reports today, the bill will “profoundly change the federal government’s role in education, which has traditionally been the responsibility of state and local government.”" If federal bureaucracy was already in charge we'd have Al Gore's global warming bilge, without any questions, being taught as sound science.
Then you get to the pretty little
$1 billion for Amtrak - a money pit that still can't run on time or full - bring back the smoking cars
$2 billion for child care subsidies - federal control for an early age
$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts - government has ruined the arts
$400 million for global warming research - better to research the coming ice age
$2.5 billion for clean coal - private business could do this for less and faster
$650 million for even more digital TV conversion coupons - 5 years lead up, so postpone and raise cost
$600 million for new government cars - won't save Detroit from Washington
$7 billion for modernizing federal buildings - tear down half of them for new business
$150 million for the Smithsonian - government shouldn't be in there
$54 billion for Economic Office and Small Business Administration programs - what a waste and both proven failures
All of the above programs (and many more not listed) are ineffective and in some cases even harmful to the country and business, but POR wants to throw good money after bad as payback to their people.
