Perdue to Fund Property Tax Grants This Year

Reason.com has a place for you to request your part of the stimulus pie.

 

How about this line from a British newspaper?  "The president is popular for now – but while his stimulus package is being hailed as a victory, no one truly believes it will work."

 

Only 38% of voters think that the "stimulus" plan will actually help the economy.  Where's the mandate that the Democrats have been claiming?

 

This is another reason that nobody is taking Republicans seriously anymore:  members of Congress opposed the "stimulus" package, but now they're also bragging about the projects for their constituents that are in the bill.  To make matters worse, a number of Republican Governors have been supporting Obama all along because they wanted bailouts for their state governments.

 

China is trying to diversify out of the dollar.  They're tired of buying our debt that is worth nothing.

 

There might be a couple more cases on the Second Amendment to come before the Supreme Court.  These are worth keeping an eye on.

 

Obama is now going to use his teleprompter to help him out during press conferences.

 

California Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman wants to apply the Fairness Doctrine to the internet.  Liberal talk show host Bill Press supports the Fairness Doctrine because he wants to be heard.

 

The Drug Enforcement Agency has a 106-plane fleet.  So why did they charter a private jet at taxpayers' expense for the head to fly to Bogota, Colombia?

 

This is what I call spreading the wealth:  a Miami banker willfully gave $60 million of his own money to his employees after selling majority control of the bank for nearly $1 billion.

 

Thanks to "protecting the kids" children can no longer enjoy things like dirt bikes and 4-wheelers.

 

This is your must-read of the day:  This is Why Government is Legalized Theft.

 

Governor Perdue will agree that the state will pay for the property tax grants this year because they now have the money thanks to the "stimulus."  Senator Johnny Isakson spoke to the General Assembly this morning, reminding them that this "stimulus" is a one-time-only deal.  It will provide a $530 million boost for the state's Medicaid program.

 

Young Republicans and Young Democrats got together this morning at the state Capitol to push for Sunday alcohol sales.
