$13 and 1971 projects worth $23,194,447,831

So done watching Huckabee, for the weekly $13 stimulus directed to me, I'd probably spend it on something I get back to it later...

Anyway so California has the most projects getting money from the Spendulous (Formerly Stimulus) Bill... at 1971 projects ranging from radio upgrades for First Responders to road repair (which is desperate needed with the lowest bidder doing a horrible job continuing the cycle of repairing...) I do applaud Pasadena for sticking to legitimate projects and an estimate of $89,000. Los Angeles tops out at $7 mil and San Francisco just over $1mil... I'm surprise Berkeley is not on the list b/c California Memorial sits on a fault line and I've supported the Bears in the past. Just not the politics harassing service members b/c they don't like the war or the former president and taking it out on us. They have a right like Walnut Creek (Imposing its secular ways) but associating those who serve the country with something they don't like is wrong. We sacrificed our time and effort so "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf". And yes Socialism is Socialism even if it is masquerading as Democratic Socialism. Glad I'm goin into the Reserves, becoming a full time civilian probably would drive me crazy with all the absurditites happening these days. Yes the military gives one a different opinion regardless if one serving or a dependant. First and foremost cutting back on spending and tax cuts have worked in the past, as spending usually cause inflation and delaying the fact that the debt has increased (x)fold. Becoming Greener will have to wait until the slate is clean, and special interest groups will have to understand that there are limits, might as well get a Dog therapist to teach who is the boss. Change, yep that word, used and abused in all the wrong ways.


So getting back to the $13 I probably spend it either on some Soldier's Angels goods or Boodam and the Beav shirts. Supporting the Troops and a local Shirt Company started by Veterans. Then again maybe go to my local Hawaiian Resturant and order some Kalua Pork to remind me where the money came from. Every week.
