There’s a few WTF’s in there, even though I agree with most. Like – FBI salaries?
Is that’s what’s wrong with the intel community – it’s been volunteers?
And yeah, digital TV coupons, you mean they didn’t have this in the previous budget?

I frankly have a hard time giving people too stupid to know by now that they need a converter box for digital TV the money to buy one.

Maybe if they didn’t watch it all the time they might not have let whatever brains the good Lord gave them atrophy so much by now. I suspect they don’t need it to watch anything, you know, educational.

But I suspect they voted (if they could even figure out how) for you know who…..

Kris,
Every DTV converter box I’ve seen has been made in China (or Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.)
So I wonder whose economy that $150M is supposed to stimulate?

Strategy? How about “spend as much as we can as fast as we can using money we don’t have to grow government”? Or would that be a tactic?

$150 million to pay for conversions from analog to digital TV.

Yeah, that will provide jobs, rebuild the infrastructure and help the economy.

The only good thing about this Generational Theft Act (h/t to Michelle Malkin for that) is that it’s all on the Democrat’s shoulders. When it fails, it will be clear who ramrodded it thru.

I only hope when that time comes that the country is paying attention and votes their collective a$$es out.

I did read somewhere yesterday (I think at Hot Air) that a large group of Democrats in the House are drafting a letter for Botox-Nan, complaining about her bull in a china shop style -only allowing specific individuals to draft legislation then closing the doors to debate.

One can only hope that the coming revolution will start within her own party.
