John Stossel, Bailouts, Big Spending and Bull.........and my rant

[Ballygrl]

John Stossel is doing a special this Friday on 20/20, he's teaming up with Drew Carey exposing Government waste in this Stimulus Plan.

My rant? I heard tonight when I was at work how much pork Republicans were getting, and I'm furious at everyone in the Government. They all need to be voted out.

Here's a video about the special:

I'm so glad Stossel is doing this. SOME Republicans are against earmarks like McCain and Boehner, et al, but the ones who aren't should be voted out in the primaries.

Also, it would be fun to do a live thread on this Stossel show.

We definitely should!

Drew Carey is a libertarian and has done some great stuff with Reason TV on government idiocy.

John Stosselis a solid libertarian. I like him. By the way, yes government is screwing us so bad, the liberals are the main culprits of course. They will spend American dry. Maybe we will wake up one day.

[Ballygrl]

We'll see if enough people watch the show. I wonder if Sean will interview him on Fri.?

I like the live thread idea!! :D

Bally, very pithy rant there ;)

It's been a tough year for the richest people in the world. Last year there were 1,125 billionaires. This year there are just 793 people rich enough to make our list.

They have all been wasting our money for years. I guess we'll have to see who turns down the earmarks.

Earkmarks are part of it, but really the spending is the problem, the earmarks merely state how it is to be spent.

I was just so ticked off when I heard it, and so devastated that some Republicans were not standing on principle. How the heck do they ever think they can win an election again by wasting money like this?

Thanks for the heads up Ballygrl. I will DVR it.

Who are the fiscally conservative Rs? Ds? I would like to see a list based on how they have voted.

The show I was listening to mentioned earmarks that 3 Republicans were getting that were in the millions, I was so angry I don't even remember the names.
