The biggest ones of the lot

With Trillion dollar deficits and rampant Federal spending, people voted in a more conservative Congress(or at least we hope we did). In a last ditch effort, in the Lame duck session, the Libs have been trying to shove through every half baked idea they have been sitting on for the past decades (DREAM act, don't ask don't tell repeal, tax hike... ad nauseum), but this guy has the biggest balls of the lot. The thing that I love is that they never identify his party affiliation in the article.

Cleaver has listed a new earmark -- one of several -- and he promises to "fight for every one." But this is a whopping $48 billion package that must go down as the grandaddy of all earmarks.

Proposed by a gentleman named Lamar Mickens, president of the not-for-profit Quality Day Campus, the $48 billion earmark would funnel money into the inner cities to give money to the poor and thereby produce a much larger consumer class to buy the goods and services produced in this country.


Essentially this is the biggest wealth redistribution earmark ever asked for. Welcome to socialism.

"the $48 billion earmark would funnel money into the inner cities to give money to the poor and thereby produce more votes for Democrats."

Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.

A democracy is destroyed when the people figure out how to vote themselves largess from the public treasury.
