I think that Barack Obama is a very inspirational figure, and that his influence on getting youth out and voting and active in politics is admirable. I feel that the youth who simply cheer for Obama because he is Obama is apathy to the worst level but in all honesty people do that on both sides of the “big line”.

I do, however, want to bring up something important – Looking out for your own, yourself,  interests even with someone you trust.  This is a great life lesson but a lesson here in particular. 850 BILLION dollars are going to be spent on this stimulus package, wich is all fine and dandy… I want money to be given back to me as well. However, what is this money being spent on? Me? Nope.

Nearly 100 BILLION dollars are going to cash-strapped state governments (governments that couldn’t manage their finances in the first place), and 350 BILLION dollars in “Infrastructure, Alternative Energy, and ‘Other Priorities’ “. What does this mean though? It means that your hard earned tax dollars are going to fund a 1.5 Million dollar water ride and a 4.8 MILLION dollar polar bear exhibit.  These expenses are wasteful, but you guys won’t hear about it from the media, of course not.

Now there are some good things a Biofuel plant in Iowa, that sounds nice, it will give Iowa people jobs… oh wait, I have to pay $500 MILLION dollars for that? Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants to build a boat repair yard… oh sorry that was a Yacht repair yard.  Lets get real America!

You know what else I love? Giving my money to people who don’t even live here. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that fact that illegal immigrants may file a tax return, and we will give them a check too! FREE MONEY FOR EVERYONE!!! I think Julio McCrea is my room mate and he wants his tax rebate too.  As a dual citizen, I could easily skip taxes and not be caught…. but I don’t do that because I like helping out my country and making sure that it has enough money to keep functioning: What I DON’T like is giving my money to people who don’t live here… and who just drain our resources… lets take the tax returns from illegal immigrants and give that money to the hospitals that they have bankrupted in Southern California? Ha ha!

Oh by the way 350 BILLION dollars that is going to “Infrastructure, Alternative Energy, and ‘Other Priorities’ ” can fuel all of americas cars for around a year!! I wouldn’t mind having free gas for a year, can that be my incentive?  How about 7MILLION free rides to harvard? $30 Billion Dollars would provide education to EVERY CHILD ON EARTH for a year. Ohh or we can just spend $54 Billion dollars and end starvation and malnutrition GLOBALLY. (Boston.com)  I don’t like blowing my money on proejcts like these… but I feel we can all agree these are better than a foot ball stadium.

Its really easy spending other peoples money… why not take a pay cut congress, to fund some of these things. I understand your desire to help out the people in your state… so take some of your money, and give it to them directly. Sometimes what glitters is gold… and I am going to keep that gold hidden away under my bed because how it looks now, if those people see it they are going to rip it from my hands and give it to some dumb cause.
