OBAMA'S ABSURD WASTEFUL SPENDING...

...AND NOW HE WANTS 4 MORE YEARS TO SPEND MORE TAXPAYER MONEY.   WTF!

Here are some of the absurd spending programs that came from the Stimulus Bill.
  • $200,000 to teach Siberian lawmakers how to engage Russian policy makers is Moscow. Yeah .. this really stimulated the American economy. 
  • The U.S. Forest service replaced windows in a visitor’s center that had been closed for years.
  • The University of North Carolina received $762,000 to create a YouTube dance application.
  • The California Academy of Sciences got $2,000,000 to send people to the Indian Ocean to photograph ants.  “Everyone has run into ants … now we need to listen to them.”  Yup … they said that.
  • A Georgia Tech assistant music professor got $760,000 so he could jam with “world renowned musicians” to “create satisfying works of art.” 
  • About a half-million dollars to give smartphones to people trying to quit smoking so they could “contact their quitting support groups by text message or phone calls to prevent relapses.”
  • Buses in Winter Haven, Florida that average two riders per hour got $2.4 million so that the two riders per hour would have brand new busses to ride on.
  • $712,000 spent on a project by researchers at Northwestern University to develop “machine-generated humor.” 
  • Almost $300,000 to study how Yoga might reduce menopausal hot flashes.
  • $500,000 to put microchips in recycling bins to check up on the recycling efforts of senior citizens.
  • $250,000 for bug storage for an insect museum at North Carolina State University that gets 44 visitors a year.  That’s less than one visitor per week for those of you who went to government schools. 
  • $174,000 to study whether retirement hurts or helps marriages.
I could list more .. but I'm sure you get the idea now.  The stimulus plan was so absurd … did such a pitiful job of actually creating jobs … that the Obama administration had to go from “jobs created” to “jobs created or saved.” Now they’re at “jobs affected.”  And believe it or not --- Democrats are now saying that the stimulus should have been bigger.

ITS TIME WE SENT THIS WASTEFUL SPENDER BACK TO ILLINOIS WHERE HE CAN SCREW UP THAT CORRUPT STATE.
