Here's just a few stories of where taxpayers money went

"The Defense Department spent an estimated $100 million for airline tickets that were not used over a six-year period and failed to seek refunds even though the tickets were reimbursable."
-- New York Times, 6/9/04

'According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,' Rumsfeld admitted. $2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America."
-- CBS News, 1/29/02, U.S. Secretary of Defense raises evidence of government, military corruption

We listen to the Republican Debate last night and it was so sad. Who knew elected officials knew so little about this country. In the end Mr. Huntsman stood alone but it seems Corporations have picked Mitt Romney as the next President. It will be interesting to see how self proclaimed Prophet gov. Perry fits in this puzzle. Perry like Bush is using God and that famous call from God to get the faithful to believe and give their vote. The fake story worked well for President Bush and who knows Perry could get over with that lie too.

As of today President Obama traveling to cities talking about jobs with businesses, GOP still on their long summer vacation and Rep. Cantor is planning his Israel visit to see what help they need for the 2012 aid check the US will give. This time Cantor is taking several freshman Law Makers to assure he has enough votes to get that large aid check passed as the GOP looks to cut Federal Programs and bring the shut down to the Government.

see you same time same place and enjoy the day all

    Hello, Mr. Williams.....

    Heard your comment about Gov. Perry praying for rain. Well guess what, IT RAINED! It's been 3 months since we have seen rain. Whether you believe it or not, God does answer prayer.
