Your Tax dollars at work. Why not...Obama is just printing money these days anyway...no one will ever feel the inflation of all this mad spending, right???????

Really...all this takes is a 30 second Google search people.

This kind of aid has been going on since the sixties.

This is precisely why a lot of us are so concerned about any government spending programs (especially new ones). They NEVER go away. They just go on forever and before you know it, entire constituencies build up around the continuous flow of US taxpayer dollars. Just because something has been going on for 40 or 50 years does not automatically make it right....right?

Agreed...but what KRAM so blantantly stated, and what based on past experiences what SUMG was implying was more of the tired "look at BHO...look at how he's spending our tax dollars...socialism...BHO would rape Bristol Palin...I'm gonna start a militia and take my country back, this ain't the 'murica I grew up in...an America with 2 water fountains..."crap that gets constantly recycled on here.

Sound a little extreme to me. I guess the silver-lining in all this is that a lot more Americans are interested in what their government is actually doing. They are actively seeking out information about what their govenment is up to and starting to ask questions (maybe some uncomfortable ones to our elected representatives in Washington) and to me that's a good thing. Perhaps Obama has been an unwitting catalyst for this, but I'll give him credit for shaking the tree and waking people up.

So nice to be so smugly clairvoyant! I glad CBL is around to tell us all what we "state" and "imply". How very nice of you.

Hello, McFly. That is exactly what a number of non-thinking conservatives did when David Letterman made the joke about AROD and Bristol Palin. How is this any different?

This stuff has been flying around in emails since Al Gore invented the internet.

The parallels are striking. I demand a backhanded apology/explanation from CBL or I'm boycotting him.

I think it's great. And a big "F You" to every country who criticizes America for our excesses. We may use the most resources, but we also produce more than anybody else and we give more money away than any other nation.

But we are a down right mean country? I'm just now proud of my country because it's national soccer team finally won a game yesterday against someone and the longhorns had to drive back from Nebraska with tears in their eyes?
