Incomplete list highlights some of the pork barrel projects that make up Obama's so-called stimulus bill. This is not a stimulus package. This bill is nothing but an $825 billion list of earmarks to buy votes for Democrats so they can solidify their hold on power using our tax dollars. The sole motivation for this bill is to limit the political freedom of Americans.

Boortz reminds us that the FairTax is the most powerful economic stimulus ever, but he fails mention several of the reasons why. Adopting the FairTax would bring $13 trillion currently working overseas back to America to stimulate our economy - far greater than Democrats' proposed $825 billion earmark bill. Every Fortune 500 company in the world would either open its next plant in the US or move its headquarters to the US. Every American would keep 100 percent of his or her paycheck, empowering the people who know best, earners, how to stimulate our economy to do so. American companies would instantly play on a level playing field against foreign competitors, dramatically increasing US exports and domestic consumption of US products and services. Tax compliance costs would go down, tax compliance would go up, and the government spending would go down as the IRS is replaced with a much smaller entity. It's a win, win, win, win, win. There is no question - if economic stimulus is the real goal, adopt the FairTax.

Citibank buys private jet from France with taxpayer funded bailout money.

Major corporations cut 74,000 jobs. Because the government keeps interfering in our recovery, the economy is getting worse, not better.

Because of government's intervention, auto companies are building green cars that Americans don't want. Obama wants them to build more. When companies dance to the whims of politicians instead of serving the marketplace, everybody loses. Naturally they auto companies need another $25 billion bailout to make this happen.

In yet another crazy case of hypocrisy, the French, who attacked Bush repeatedly over Guantanamo, propose bringing some Gitmo detainees to Europe. Why didn't they offer that seven years ago? Or last year? And what's the difference between holding them in Gitmo or a prison camp in Europe (except they'll be more likely to get released and the Europeans, and Americans, will be in more danger)?

Have ordered your pocket Obama yet?

Man who paralyzes himself by jumping into shallow river on a dare wins $76.6 million judgment. This judge should be fired and the ruling overturned.

Good for most Republicans for opposing Geithner and his desire to use government force to solve (not) the banking crisis.
