Well no, but in a roundabout way what else could it mean?

Obama Appeals to Congress for $50 Billion in Emergency Aid

WASHINGTON — President Obama is pressing Congress to approve emergency aid money to support economic recovery and help avoid widespread layoffs of public workers, the Washington Post reported Saturday.

Congressional leaders received a letter from the president asking for almost $50 billion for distribution to state and local governments, saying that increased spending is “urgent and unavoidable,” the Post reported. The money would protect the jobs of teachers, police and firefighters.

“Because the urgency is high—many school districts, cities and states are already being forced to make these layoffs,” Obama wrote, “these provisions must be passed as quickly as possible.”

Excuse me where the hell did that trillion in stimulus money go? Why can’t these state governments cuts spending and why is it always… every damn time spending has to be cut the Democrats play the teachers, police and firefighters will loose their job card? Why not cut road crews that send 14 people out to fill one little pot hole? (I’ve seen it, it’s true) Why not cut the clowns that set around all day and surf for porn? What not cut those that get busting abusing government credit cards for personal gain? Why not crack down on fraud and waste? Don’t tell me they these aren’t there I see it all the time – why not cut useless State Capitol staff that do nothing more than collect a check? Why not cut the Governors perks like private jets when they can drive what about the Governor Mansion do we really need that in these tough economic times the toughest since the great depression? Give me the damn budget and highlighter pen and you’ll see some spending cuts ASAP.

Here is another idea the other day I was at the local High School and school is out – it was well over 90 outside and I walk into the mostly empty school – a huge school were about 12 people were at and the temperature in the school was about 60 degrees – I shit you not I was freezing and one of the people there told me they had a space heater running in their office to stay warm! So I ask what does it cost in electricity to cool a 10′s of 1000′s of square foot building down about 30 degrees from the outside temperature? And it’s not just schools you go into any government building and it is ice cold in the summer and hot as hell in the winter and meanwhile all governments tell you to run a fan, open a window or put on a damn sweater and wrap up in a blanket… I’m sick of the hypocrisy! If government wants me to sweat my ass off inside in the summer and freeze it off in the winter then lead by example or shut the hell up. I keep my house about 79-80 degrees in the summer and when – like today the heat index is a 110 outside, 80 feels pretty good! As for the winter I burn wood and set the gas heat on 65-68 because unlike the government I can’t raise anyone’s taxes to pay the bill! I tell you what – I’m going to go on a one man mission if I have too – to put a end to ice cold offices in the summer and ovens in the winter… bitch to me about energy and fossil fuels will you while government is the biggest consumer and abuser in any federal, state and local levels.

So Obama no more money for you – you’ve pissed away trillions like it flows from a tap and now you want more? No, I don’t think so – cut spending, reduce the size of government and cut waste and then and only then will we talk. I’m sick of you hypocritical people.

Oh and for you Governor Steve here in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky sell a few more of those aircraft – in February the Commonwealth sold two of it’s fifteen aircraft…. FIFTEEN! Looks like we have at least twelve to go, I’d say keep one for emergencies only.

Kentucky selling two planes

Kentucky currently owns 15 aircraft: seven airplanes and eight helicopters. Most of the aircraft are small planes that are used to fly the Governor, Cabinet Secretaries, University presidents and others on official government business. The cost depends on the trip and the plane used.

Ever hear of a car? Hell get a Hybrid if you really want to set an example.

While Kentucky has 15 aircraft, across the river in Indiana, the Hoosier state has eight aircraft, while West Virginia has only five. On the higher side, Virginia has 17, Ohio 24, and Tennessee 39.

If you read the story they try to spin it that it saves the state money, claiming it only cost $125 hour to operate the plane. Now I’m not a aviation expert but I have a cousin who is and I’m going to put a call in to him because I know that a helicopter requires two hours of ground maintenance for ever one hour of fly time, not sure on planes but I’m willing to bet $125 that it cost a hell of a lot more than that to fly a aircraft for an hour if you factor fuel, pilot, co-pilot, insurance, maintenance, hanger cost, wear and tear and fees…. $125.00 my ass! You know and I know it’s BS because it cost a lot more than the price of gas to drive a car… bunch of lyin’ ass bastards.

So after all of that the way I see it is that if Obama wants more “stimulus” on top of the already wasted “stimulus” then it must mean the first “stimulus” failed like so many said it would.. which would beg the question, why give him more to waste? It’s like enabling a junkie.

OK I’m done now…
