No Fat?!
Tom DeLay made the statement that "there was no fat in the Federal budget"...
Well folks, $500,000 of YOUR tax money was spent to paint that fish on the Air Alaska plane pictured above.
This money came from a $20 million grant of taxpayer's money to a marketing board in Alaska to promote Alaskan fish. The money was requested by Alaska's Republican Senator Ted Stephens. You might be interested in knowing that Ted Stephen's son is the chairman of the board of the marketing board that got the money and spent it on this fish painting.
And the Stupid Party is wondering why even those naturally belonging to their base are getting disgusted?
Folks, I know I sound like a broken record on this subject, but it's time for us to take back control of our government. Call your Congresscritters and Senators NOW and let them know that they need to enact the Fair Tax ASAP, or they won't BE the Congresscritters or Senators from your state after the next election. Your children and grandchildren will thank you for it.
