Massachusetts legislators have already dedicated almost $38 million towards the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate - yes, that's really what it's called. I call it the Edward M. Kennedy Shrine to Pork. During Kennedy's reign he pushed through enough pork to fill the trough to overflowing.
And this year his family is coming back for even more piggy funds -- I do believe they think of it as an entitlement - they want another $30 million in TAXPAYER funds to spend on the Shrine.
And this is during the worst recession in American history. The rich and powerful are at it again -- gimme, gimme, gimme.
The Kennedy family is rich, rich, rich. They have ubber rich friends. They should get ALL funding for the Shrine from their friends or their own bank accounts -- NOT THE BELEAGUERED TAXPAYERS - who, according to the CBO yesterday, are getting slapped with another $1.5 trillion in debt for 2011, thanks to millions of PORK projects just like the Kennedy Shrine.
We are at the tipping point, off the cliff, under water, call it what you want. We are BROKE. And no money should be spent on this Shrine or any other project that is not Constitutionally mandated. Be sure to enter your protest to the Kennedy Shrine at this link.

GOVERNMENT MOTORS PAYS CEO COOL $9 MILLION
Wow, Reuters has reported that our car company, Government Motors, will pay our new CEO Akerson over $9 million in cash, salary and stock grants. In addition to that, they will pay Ex-CEO Whitacre $300,000 for serving on the GM Board of Directors for 4 months. Great jobs, if you can get 'em.
I see our new Pay Czar is really diligent in shrinking the CEO salaries of companies still on the taxpayer dole. That's what Obama was blabbing about when he took over GM. They're sure doing a great job, don't you think?
Funny how the math works. Toyota is solvent, in spite of their gas peddle problem, has lots of money in cash reserves, and their CEO makes $900,000 a year. BMW ties its executive bonuses to blue collar performance.
And then there's Government Motors. The company makes terrible business decisions, becomes insolvent, gets bailed out with taxpayer capital, files bankruptcy, and has minimal cash reserves. They fire their long term American ad agency and hire a French agency, with our tax dollars. They continue to get bail out money, and then they build a new plant in another country, not in America. Gee, who should we thank for this?
And then they award a newcomer with almost $10 million in compensation, and you can bet a new fleet of corporate jets will be on the way once their IPO is sold.
Our Government Motors sure knows how to game the system, and I'll bet they are laughing all the way to their Swiss bank accounts.
Thanks, Obama, for nothing.

OBAMA SENDS MILLIONS IN FOREIGN AID TO OUR ENEMIES
Here is an example of what the Obama administration has approved in foreign aid. This is from a summary of a report issued by David Obey, D-WI, who is on the Appropriations committee. Mr. Obey has control over how this money is spent. A summary was quietly released by Obey's office last week without a word from any media.
$3.6 billion to expand and improve Afghan security forces
$400 million (requested amount) to improve Pakistani security forces (they hate us)
$1.52 billion as a straight up payment to Afghanistan ($86 million above the requested amount)
$665 million for security assistance in the West Bank and Gaza (Gaza=Hamas) (They hate us)
$250 million to Jordan for economic assistance ($250 million above requested amount) (Aren't they an oil producer?)
$360 million to Egypt ($310 million above requested amount) to expand over-site capacity of the State Department (What in the heck does that mean?)
$74 million to Lebanon for undisclosed purpose (They hate us)
$343 million ($50 million above requested amount) for humanitarian assistance for Gaza (Remember, Gaza=Hamas) (They want us dead)
$200 million for natural disasters for Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Middle East and South Asia (While 3/4 of the homes destroyed by Katrina in New Orleans are still not repaired and no one is living in them. WE HAVE OUR OWN NATURAL DISASTERS TO DEAL WITH!)
$837 million to the United Nations for "peacekeeping operations." Much of this money will likely end up in the hands of UN upper management personnel. Check it out. The UN is as corrupt as many of the nations it allegedly serves.
$17 million for the Iraqi criminal justice system (Another oil rich nation)

Would it help to beg him to spend these dollars here putting Americans back to work? I doubt it .
