Wasteful Spending: Do You Care?

[ESponge2000]

I don't know what Charles Schumer said after the line "The American people really don't care". It was definitely taken out of context.

[hellotommy]

10% of the Stimulus has been used, there is not 1 job created by it thus far, just wasted US tax dollars that generations to come will be paying for. The Stimulus is a failure, the fact that they havent spent the money is a testament to failure. "Shovel ready" jobs remember the urgency to pass the Porkulus? All that it has been used for is kick backs to big unions and constituents like ACORN that helped get this Socialist Time share salesman elected, it didn't create jobs. Just lies.

Chuck!! We spoke for hours. I was trying to get you elected to help keep my mom from beingilegally hospiced & mje from getting abuse by the University of Buffalo Medical & Dental School. You swore you'd call me in person, by phone right after the elections. I gave ou a tape about healthcare atrocities I begged you to listen to at Canal Fest. Reember? It's too late for mom, but I've called, emailed & faxed 37 pages you & you still have'nt called. I'm in your files & waiting. TY.

[IslandSpiceDreamin]

You want to call ME, my family & friends the "chattering class", you dismissive, moronic, arrogant piece of clueless elitism???

You, chucky boy, are the CHATTERING *ASS*

[yyoungrrepub]

eah chuck actually i do care i don't want MY money going to waste on YOUR pet projects. i want to keep it be charitable to who i want to be and spend it how i wanna spend it. i don't want to bail out companies and i sure as hell don't want to bail out bums who shouldn't have been able to buy a house or anything in the first place.

Beheading can be a good thing!

Schumer is a Liberal Socialist who will rot in hell.

[FreudWasAMommasBoy]

Verdict-Vote out all the scumbags that ignored the American people, stole our money & pissed it away on projects to make themselves & their friends rich while our GREAT GREAT grandchildren will be paying off this debt. If this continues, the people won't wait for election day. They will rise up. Then they will find out the reason the founders drafted the 2nd Amendment. We may very well be looking at the Civil War v.2 and Great Depression v.2 all in one decade. Return the government 2 the people.

[creaturesGREATnSmall]

Google Senator Schumer's email and you'll find his contact form and a phone number to his office. Let him know what you think!

[jsyc07]

He's projecting his own feelings on to the American people - HE doesn't care. He doesn't care about the pork and he doesn't care about the American people.

[crzy4tplfish]

Couldn't have said it better myself!  KUDOS!

[sovereignenergy]

IMPEACH ! IMPEACH! IMPEACH! i call BULL$HIT!

[eksdem]

Schumer is SUCH a snob.

[eksdem]

I'm one of Schumer's constituents.

When he can't defend his side of an argument, he OFTEN drags out his comment that "people don't care."

Maybe he doesn't talk to enough people or maybe he doesn't read their correspondence.

II don't remember ever getting a response to letters or emails I've sent.

Think of Schumer as the original "hear no evil" monkey.

[wecanchange518]

o a change is a coming

ROMNEY-DEMINT 2012!

[keno1226]

I just love chucky and his idiotic comments. I propose everyone sends pork products to the democratic senators and house members until they get the message that most Americans do not want this Porculous bill.

[justathought23]

Everyone needs to send Sen Schummer a couple BAGS OF PORK RINDS!!! Just to make sure he knows we care about pork.

[redsuncloud]

We care.

[cmbrewer]

I beg your pardon, Mr. Schumer. There are quite a few of us "chattering class" Americans that care VERY MUCH about all the wasteful spending! How dare you, sir!

[NHMntnHIGH]

another idiot in line for public flogging. Schumer is another criminal in congress

[tylerdude18]

obama's main goal is to create 3.5 million jobs with the stimulus bill, but a lot of the money in the bill is not going toward things that create jobs. Even if that many jobs were created, we would be spending over $200,000 for each job.

[NHMntnHIGH]

thats because he didnt leash Pelosi and Reid like he should of. or maybe he set them up as the fall guys

[dique913]

My Bad....typo

[dique913]

WIn the U.S., one trillion is written as the number "1" followed by 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000). One year of clock time =

(60sec/min) x (60 min/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365.25 da) = 3.16 x 107 sec

One trillion seconds of ordinary clock time =

( 1012 sec)/( 3.16 x 107 sec/yr) = 31,546 years!

hy don't you put it into perspective Chuck?

[zzx2847]

Obama downplayed the issue of Pork during the debates with McCain. Little did we know.

[Jaffebot]

All you conservatives are going to have to eat your words when the stimulus package works and things get going again. Of course, there's always your revisionist history...

[hype9857]

No, its true. The New Deal didn't work. Reagan was the second coming of Jesus. Someone else was in power for the last horrible 8 years and there still is a "permanant Republican majority."

[UltimaOmega]

We'll just have to see...

[Yakko77]

Apparently the majority of Americans don't care unfortunately. They wouldn't have voted for Obama and a Democrat majority Congress which will rubber stamp his spending.  Yes, the GOP spent heavily and unwisely and that angered this conservative but the Dems are going to make G.W. Bush seem frugal by comparison.

[zwest135]

If they end this war, I imagine it will be impossible to outspend Bush, but your right. Americans do not care. Both Dems and Republicans are on the same side though. They only represent the wealth class.

[ScarlettKnights]

Yes, we do care and for anyone who votes for this bill, I will vote againist them, no matter the party and support the opposition, no matter the party.

NO MARXISM!

[darlena1956]

If you have a vote next time around.
