Gee, what a contrast. First we have Bush saying that there will be no tax increases to pay the $200+ billion for hurricane relief. He said it's going to cost a lot of money and that, despite absolutely no authority from the Constitution, he's willing to force YOU to pay for that recovery.

He said he's not going to take money from working Americans. I guess he's just going to steal it from another country, then? Where else is he going to get it? Even if he doesn't increase taxes, we're STILL paying for it. He claims he's going to reduce spending -- I sure hope he does -- Washington has done nothing but INCREASE spending for years. I'm not holding my breath.

He has said that he will reduce pork spending in order to "help" evacuees (since according to the co-Kings of The Blacks, Jesse and Louis, we can't call them refugees). One way to help was to give them $2,000 debit cards. The government canceled those, then decided to give them $5,000 "accounts."

Then we have this (H/T to NIF). Apparently some of those people that are in "dire straits" and "need our help" at gunpoint are using the cash they get to buy beer in strip clubs (at $1.75 each).

Are they gouging the customers? Is $1.75 "too much" to charge for beer? Since *I* am paying for those beers, don't I have a right to set the price of the beers? And how much are they paying for lap dances? If government (ME) is paying, I have a right to know if they're getting their money's worth, don't I?

I've mentioned it before -- this is very, very wrong. This is the sort of thing when happens when government gets involved. Now don't start saying things about "a few bad apples-" it doesn't matter if 1% of the people who got money did this -- it shows the money was wasted.

The United States Government does NOT have the power to TAKE money from me and GIVE it to someone else they like more. It's WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! There's NO WAY you can convince me, especially with examples like this, that there's ANY good going on here.

If government got the hell out of the way, these people WOULD be helped! How I yearn for freedom -- freedom FROM government. Anyone want to form a Constitutional Republic with me? I already know a really good way to set up a government that would work very well...
