[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ritten: [QB] Omega, not really. You have just shown us your prospective of view on it. Reagan did have budgets, although Congress didn't like them. I have seen people get the defense budgets higher by adding in the moneys spent on aiding other countries militarily, a guy in school also added in all non-humanitarian aid to it. Also, comparing military and social expenses is not "dumb", for it points out where our tax dollars are going. Along the same lines, did anybody read the article in the papers yesterday about "pork-barrel" spending, as revealed by a Republican from AZ or AR? I like some of the "don't for for us" things tossed in their. It also had a good bit of information on the actions of the Republican controlled Congresses and how they said that they were going to cut spending on some things and have actually increased spending 13%. This article also askes why we still have a Dept. of Ed., when the Republicans promised to remove it back in 1994. If they would have Bush wouldn't have the tool to use now, for nationalization AND localization of education. The article was written by Michele Malkin at Creators Syndicate 5777 West Century Blvd. Suite 700 Los Angeles, CA 90045 email at <A HREF="mailto:malkin1@ix.net-com.com">Ms. Malkin</A> or [EMAIL]malkin1@ix.netcom.com[/EMAIL] (Paper has a coffee spill, so I am not sure about the hyphen.) Points from the article. <UL> [*]$176,000 to the Reindeer Herders Association [*]$300,000 for manure management systems in Florence, SC. [*]$500,000 for the restoration of a carousel in Cleveland, OH. [*]$1,000,000 for the Animal Waste Management Consortium in MO. [*]$1,250,000 for Aleutian Pribilof church repairs. [*]$1,500,000 to refurbish the Vulcan Statue in AL. [*]$4,000,000 for the International Fertilizer Development Center. [*]$5,000,000 for an insect rearing facility in Stonewall, MS. </UL> The Senater that identified these was John McCain, R-AZ. These have been approved. $13,726,000 in bullshit. Yep, vote to keep the Republicans in office with their pork-barrels. In a year or two we can debate the abilities of Gore and the Democrats. Then again, some people never learn. [/QB][/QUOTE]
