Well, he’s gotta keep his union thugs in business.
About one-third of the $787 billion stimulus package passed in February 2009 was directed at state and local governments, which have been facing declining revenues and are, mostly, required to balance their budgets.
The policy aim, Democrats say, was to maintain public services and aid. The political aim, although Democrats don’t say so, was to maintain public-sector jobs — and the flow of union dues to the public employees unions that represent almost 40 percent of public-sector workers.
Those unions in turn have contributed generously to Democrats. Services Employee International Union head Andy Stern, the most frequent nongovernment visitor to the Obama White House, has boasted that his union steered $60 million to Democrats in the 2008 cycle. The total union contribution to Democrats has been estimated at $400 million.
In effect, some significant portion of the stimulus package can be regarded as taxpayer funding of the Democratic Party. Needless to say, no Republicans need apply.

Since my money is helping to fund these turds, can I get a say in the decisions? How about a little referendum…or a cut?
Hopefully we can get these assholes out of office this year before they do more damage. As it is, we’ll have to rescind their bad legislation and try to stop the orgasmic spending before it bankrupts the country.

Good post, “Jane”. Keep ’em coming.
Since this administration is about as “transparent” as a thunderhead, we need to do our part to pass these nuggets along. I’ll be posting on a related topic this weekend, in fact.
