Here’s your “Change” you can believe in.

You voted for him. Now good luck. Keep your obama bumper sticker on your car so I know who fell for the "change" bullshit line and who to blame for the mess my grandkids will have to pay for.


 

"I will also go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less..."

-- Denver

Barak Obama AUGUST 28, 2008


 

"I'll pay for every part of this job-creation agenda by ending this war in Iraq that's costing us billions, closing tax loopholes for corporations, putting a price on carbon pollution, and ending George Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans."

-- Lorain, Ohio

FEBRUARY 24, 2008


 

"Barack Obama is committed to returning earmarks to less than $7.8 billion a year, the level they were at before 1994."

-- Obama's "The Change We Need In Washington"


 

"Obama will reinstate pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budget rules, so that new spending or tax cuts are paid for by spending cuts or new revenue elsewhere."

-- Obama's Blueprint for Change


 

"I will always be a strong advocate for a market that is free and open."

SEPTEMBER 17, 2007


 

"Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before."


 

$1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that hasn't turned a profit in 40 years

$50 million for that great engine of job creation, the National Endowment for the Arts

$400 million for global-warming research and another $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects

$650 million on top of the billions already doled out to pay for digital TV conversion coupons

mass transit ($6 billion) When the spending spree is over, municipalities will be saddled with subsidizing the future budget shortfalls through increased taxes. No public transportation system has ever had a balanced budget.

$600 million more for the federal government to buy new cars. I guess those 12-20000 car sales will stimulate the automakers economy. But if that is economic stimulus, That banks have a few houses you can have for a song Mr. Obama.

The Smithsonian is targeted to receive $150 million.

There's $81 billion for Medicaid, $36 billion for expanded unemployment benefits, $20 billion for food stamps, and $83 billion for the earned income credit for people who don't pay income tax. Please tell me how this encourages Americans to go back to work.

$54 billion will go to federal programs that the Office of Management and Budget or the Government Accountability Office have already criticized as "ineffective" or unable to pass basic financial audits. These include the Economic Development Administration, the Small Business Administration, the 10 federal job training programs, and many more.

education, which would get $66 billion more. That's more than the entire Education Department spent a mere 10 years ago
