What pandemic? I swear the scare was a manufactured “crisis” for controlling purposes. The administration, Congress, and the MSM get together to manufacture trouble. Preparation is one thing, but can’t they use money they already have? Another $2 billion? and people are losing their jobs faster than Obama can “create” them. *rolling eyes*
“and other programs,”
It’s always been all about money, it’s never been about anything else.
Please, God, stop this! Bolt of lightning! Hurricane! Let the Earth swallow them up! A meteor! ANYTHING!! JUST STOP THE MADNESS!!
\ Looks like Nancy's throwing gang signs...
Sounds great. I need an emergency Cadillac Escalade and emergency trip to a Caribbean resort.
So now we see why they have tried their best to make folks scared of a "swine flu pandemic"... Nothing more than yet another scare tactic like the library of others that have been rolled out for the last 7 months or so...
And they want money for Iraq and Afghanistan? I thought the libs wanted to just drop trow and bend over... What changed? Oh - right - it isn't Bush's idea this time.
Does anyone remember if any Democrats complained about spending during the Bush administration? I can’t remember a single complaint from the Left about Bush’s spending. So it’s only fair if we stop complaining about their spending.

The New York Slimes blamed Republicans for the lack of preparedness for the virus crisis:
The scramble to keep up with the new flu strain has underscored how wrong some Republicans were to eliminate $870 million for pandemic flu preparedness from the stimulus package on the grounds that it was not relevant to creating jobs or stimulating the economy.
don’t blame me I voted McCain and a straight republican ticket except for sheriff
I’ll be very generous and agree that preparing for swine flu is an emergency. (For the sake of this post) But the Afghanistan war has been going on since 2001, Iraq since 2003. As for “and other programs,” if you can’t be troubled to list them, it’s not an emergency. Which means 2/94.2 = .021% useful, 99.97% non emergency pork.
What’s our EXIT STRATEGY for Afghanistan, Mr. Obama? After the last round everyone knows you don’t ramp it up without an EXIT STRAGTEGY.
WTF?! MORE??
Jeez not this $hit again............... Go take it out of your pension fund Nancy!
What’s to look for? Just take it.
Think people are noticing?
One trillion.
Two trillion
Three trillion
Four trillion
Five.....And still spending......
America is flat broke, and the trillions spent have literally disappeared into the night. Poof! Gone! Now the democrats want.....MORE.
