Yes this is change !!! At the hands of BOTH parties. Change from Democracy to Socialism. Bottom line – I never wanna hear my child say “Dad, I don’t like Socialism, how come you didn’t fight to restore our Republic or at least hold onto Democracy.” I’m starting to think hard. What would Geo. Washington do? . At their pace, they must be stopped now, not the next election. If not with charges of treason by the Senate & House, what will?

Why is AMTRAK getting more money? In addition to what they normally receive, did they not get additional funding in the (un)stimulus package? Now more funds? And additional money for the NEA? I guess “starving artist” is a thing of the past…

I just don’t get this. Please someone explain to me. Is this really what the majority voted for when they voted for Barack Obama? I mean, I understand the need for change. And I agree we all need hope. And, yes, while campaigning Barack Obama said he was going to change the world. But, am I just crazy, or is this taking it beyond what the American people really want? And if it is not really what they expected when they voted for Barack Obama, is there anything whatsoever they can do to stop this? Anything? Anyone?
