One of our readers tipped us off to this unbelievable legislation which is to be offered by the House Democrats today.  HR 1018 would provide $700 MILLION dollars for wild horses.  According to the information on the web site of the outraged Republican Minority Leader in the House, this bill would:

• Establish a horse census every two years;
• Provide “enhanced contraception” and birth control for horses;
• Make available an additional 19 million acres of public and private land  for wild horses;
• Cover $5 million tab to repair horse damage to land; and
• Mandate that government bureaucrats perform home inspections before Americans can adopt horses

“Ultimately, this is not about a process,”David Axelrod, Obama’s senior political strategist, said yesterday. “It’s about results.”

Axlerod was speaking about the new, proposed Health Care surtax of 5.4% on wealthy individuals.  You can read about it here.

Thomas Paine

With a SECOND Stimulus bill being discussed by Congress, one of our readers sent me the link to this You Tube Video about the “We the People Stimulus Package”.  It’s 6 minutes and is worth the time.  This Thomas Paine has some great, impassioned ideas and reminds us all of our duties as citizens.  I don’t agree with his electoral college views, and the video was obviously made before many of our additional, crazy spending bills, but he’s got a great message.

How can a second stimulus be needed when Obama just said the first one is “working just as planned”?

Look Again

Last week, under my thread titled “Transparency?”, Pariah commented that regular folks, or “little people” as he called us, are not given attention by those we have elected at every level of government.  Do you agree?  Any examples?  Here is his comment:

At every level the political class has determined that they have little or no need to pay attention to us ‘little people’. Their contempt for us is real and palpable. They are setting the stage for a very ugly end game.
