Tighten your belt, unless you work for the Government


While all Americans are finding ways to trim budgets, save money and generally spend less, the Federal Government is going for the really Big Money.

$700 Billion for the Banking Industry, signed into law on October 3rd, 2008 as the "Troubled Asset Relief Program".
$17.4 Billion signed into law on December 19th, 2008 by Pres. Bush for the Auto Industry bailout.
$789 Billion in social program spending will be signed into law.

In less then 5 months the Federal Government has decided to spend over $1.5 Trillion. And it isn't as if these bureaucrats have this money stashed in an account somewhere. This is all deficit spending. In other words, they are going into debt ... no ... they are making the American people go into debt to pay for all this. And the People are told, by the Obama Propaganda Machine Main Stream Media, that it is for our own good.

In 2 or 3 months how do you think the Obama-Reid-Pelosi regime will start talking about taxes to pay for all this garbage?
