You'll learn a lot about government spending from this interview with Kristina Rasmussen, Director of Government Affairs with the National Taxpayers Union.
http://www.ntu.org

This program discusses the Bush $150 billion "Stimulus tax rebate" which as host Howard Phillips pointed out, "On this issue, at least, George Bush has trumped George McGovern, and he is a McGovernite." Viewers may remember former Senator McGovern's (D-SD) disastrous pledge to give every American $1,000 during his 1972 race for the White House. Rob Peter to pay Paul. The only money the government has is what it took from you in taxes (or printed or borrowed from China).

Various commentators have stated this is actually a stimulus for Communist China, which lends the money (buying US government bonds) which will be used by many recipients to buy Chinese goods.

Kristina Rasmussen also discusses two new government websites which give some transparency to government spending:
http://www.ExpectMore.gov
which rates the effectiveness of government programs and agencies. She emphasizes that many of these agencies and programs are unconstitutional or should not exist, but at least there is some degree of accountability now.

The other website is:
http://www.USASpending.gov
which lists all government grants and spending of $25,000 and more.

The program also focuses on Saul Alinsky and his book "Rules for Radicals" which advocates using taxpayer funds for political activism. Both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barrack Hussein Obama studied Alinksy's methods--search for "Saul Alinsky" and Clinton or Obama for the details.

This is an edition of Conservative Roundtable, the nationally broadcast conservative television program hosted by Howard Phillips, and produced by The Conservative Caucus.

He is still trying to campaign and we need leadership. What a disaster. Better pray 4 yrs flies. mommalu

  • The government could give everyone in America $100,000 each and we still wouldn't be even...Anytime Americans can pry money out of the greedy hands of politicians and put it back into the hands of the rightful owners, I'm all for it. Yeah Bush is an idiot and this isn't going to stimulate a flea. He may be a phony conservative, but I'll take my check and about a half million more please. Screw the government! Let them go without for a change!!!

see all

  • The Stimulus went to the bank's in need, the bank's gave it to there Hedge Funds, Hedge Funds send it cross sea's instead of trusting Uncle Sam's Dollar... Now this Money will come back after dollar Industrial collapse, Perfect opportunities for private investors to buy US inner Infrastructure and then charge US citizens for use of goods. "UNCLE SAM WE GOING TO MISS YOU"

  • I know of many Americans who are middle class who did not receive the Bush stimulus check. When most of the military budget can be hidden from the GAO under so-called Black operations we have little control over this situations. Rumsfeld spoke of missing money from the Pentagon on September 10, 2001. Wake up America.

  • Both rebates put us in a recession. (Now Obama promises a third?)

  • Thanks for posting this video!! I like the idea of a voluntary tax. But I should have a say on where my money is spent as well. I don't want to put my money toward special interests that I am opposed to. Let Freedom Ring!!!

  • I am all for less taxes. However, the bureaucrats and other self-appointed elitists are forgetting the other side of the equation. That is to reduce spending.

  • McCain is just as liberal as the Democrat candidates. Those other than Ron Paul are advocates of bigger government, endless spending, open borders, and catering to the lobbyists' every want and desire.

  • Donate it to charity.
