Glenn Beck's Comrade Update 2/5/09

[ From Gary Bauer's End of Day Report 2/5/09 ]
Last Chance To Stop Trillion-Dollar Bailout
In previous reports, we have outlined whats wrong with Obamas economic recovery plan, currently under debate in Congress. The Democrats like to call it a stimulus plan, but they couldnt be more wrong about its effects. Spending over a trillion dollars on a bailout of bloated Big Government bureaucracies will not stimulate the economy.

The Senate has been debating the bill for several days and may be nearing a final vote today. President Obama is ratcheting up his rhetoric and pulling out all the stops to get this bill passed. We need to step up the opposition NOW! Heres what I would like you to do.

Below are some key facts about this bill. Send this message to 10 of your friends, family members and business associates. Ask them to take action by calling their senators at 202-224-3121 to tell their elected public servants to oppose this monstrosity. If they cant get through on that line, they can go to www.senate.gov to look up the direct office numbers for their senators.

• The bill breaks a major campaign promise Barack Obama made repeatedly last year when he said he would go through the budget line-by-line to identify and cut wasteful spending on inefficient programs. The Wall Street Journal reported that tens of billions of dollars are directed 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, throwing more good money after bad.

• Worse yet, the price tag of this bill has ballooned from $800 billion to more than $900 billion, according to various reports. With interest, it will cost taxpayers more than $1 trillion, guaranteeing massive tax hikes in the years ahead.

• It is the largest single expenditure in Americas history. It dwarfs major initiatives like the Louisiana Purchase, the space program, the New Deal and the Iraq war, even in inflation-adjusted dollars.

• Consider this: Everyone concedes that George W. Bush spent too much money. But it took the Bush Administration more than two years and a global war on radical Islamic terrorism in the wake of the 9/11 attacks to increase the national debt by more than one trillion dollars. President Obama is on track to do it in his first month in office!

• It is riddled with wasteful, pork-barrel spending, including billions in political payback to leftwing special interest groups like ACORN. (Go to www.nationalreview.com to see a list of specific examples of wasteful spending.)

• It is supposed to be a stimulus bill, but the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that most of the infrastructure money wont be spent until 2010 or years later.

• Yesterday, the CBO released a new report that was highly critical of the plan. According to the Washington Times, President Obamas economic recovery package will actually hurt the economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. Why? Because the bill will result in so much government debt that within a few years [it] would crowd out private investment, actually leading to a lower Gross Domestic Product over the next 10 years than if the government had done nothing at all.

Obamas spending bill wont grow the economy. It will grow bloated government bureaucracies that will only demand more and more of your hard-earned money.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Share this message with 10 friends, family members and business associates by copy and pasting and/or using Facebook's SHARE button (my notes are always publicly accessible to anyone). Then, call Capitol Hill at 202-224-3121. (Or go to www.senate.gov to look up your senators direct office numbers.) Politely, but firmly tell your senators to oppose the so-called stimulus bill -- a trillion-dollar bailout of Big Government.

Its easy for this idiot to talk smash while he waltzes around with a multi million dollar contract for his pansy ass idiotic show while others are losing their homes, their jobs, can barely afford food to put on their table, somebody should make Glenn Beck disappear.

@PrinceNightFox Thats not the origional definition of liberal. Thats the modern definition of liberal. Look up "classical liberalism". You will find that it is in keeping with conservative ideals. However, modern liberals are the true conservatives because all of their idea's have been tried and failed throughout history. Modern conservatives are the true liberal thinking people as limited government has never been tried.

Personally, federal budgets are ridiculous. It makes no sense how these people plan?

You think somewhere in 220 + years of Historical experience some kind of road map would have evolved out of all this? Even when you can print the money and have life and death powers it doesn't fix? How can any capital productivity in our market places when the people who provide that income aren't even considered in these plans? It seems streamlining and efficiency are not going to be part of any of these

goals

COMRADES!!!

@PrinceNightFox Republicans support small government in regard to the economy, but have no problem taking your rights away when it comes to social issues. Democrats are the reverse. Simply painting Republicans with the broad brush of "small government" or calling Democrats "big government" misses that very important detail. Both groups are big government and small government in their own way.
