Great Lakes restoratioin funds


Posted: Jul 11, 2017

I would urge every one of you to let Congress know cuts in this would not be acceptable.  Under the Trump budget there would be big cuts.  Our Great Lakes are a huge source of fish, business and recreation and if those funds are removed it would be a great hazard to our nation.  The article explains that Congress has fought cuts in the past.  Let's hope they do again.  You may not live in one of the bordering states, but if you enjoy Perch, Walleye and other species of fish that would be where many of them come from.

I do live in one of those states and am keeping my ears open on one of the biggest threats, the Asian Carp, getting into them.  If that happens, goodbye Great Lakes.

What Would Happen If No Goverment FundsOct 03, 2013
What I just heard on TV is absolutely incredible. A woman was talking about the shutdown and her question was "how do I afford the $200.00 per month I need to buy my baby's formula?" When you are in a place to where you have children, you and you alone should be responsible for the care and upbringing of that child, no one else, not your parents, not the neighbors and surely not the government. Years ago when social security started it was not for people to live on, rather to supplement whe ...

By Shaun Waterman THE WASHINGTON TIMESSenators diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis.

The Mysterious Mystery Of Disappearing Funds Sep 13, 2016
Donald Trump was in a tuxedo, standing next to his award: a statue of a palm tree, as tall as a toddler. It was 2010, and Trump was being honored by a charity — the Palm Beach Police Foundation — for his “selfless support” of its cause. His support did not include any of his own money. Instead, Trump had found a way to give away somebody else’s money and claim the credit for himself. Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foun ...

Obama Stimulus Funds Went To California Feb 20, 2017
The 2009 stimulus package funded millions of dollars for safety improvements for a dam in California that was in “good shape,” but not to the Oroville Dam that is now on the verge of a spillway crisis. Nearly 200,000 residents north of Sacramento were ordered to evacuate after fears that erosion would cause the emergency spillway to fail, which would lead to “catastrophic flooding“ from a 30-foot wall of water. Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no publ ...

Soros Funds Progressive War On Israel. The Billionaire'sAug 18, 2016

Most revealing in the interview was Soros’ comment that he felt no guilt about what he had done dur ...

Scores Of Republicans Who Oppose Stimulus Sought Funds In Private LettersOct 17, 2010
This is really disgusting. I can't understand why people can't see through some of our Congressmen. Rep. Pete Sessions, the firebrand conservative from Dallas, Texas, has relentlessly assailed the Democratic-passed stimulus law as a wasteful "trillion dollar spending spree" that was "more about stimulating the government and rewarding political allies than growing the economy and creating jobs." But that didn’t stop the Republican lawmaker from reaching his ha ...

Summer is coming and we live in Florida where it is hot and rainy.  My son was bored and I was too... so we found a movie theater locally which did not cost an arm and a leg.  I took him to see Shrek 3-D and it was GREAT! Highly recommended.  I can see how some people might get a little nauseous with the 3-D because sometimes it is hard to take especially with buttered popcorn in the stomach! But it really was great in 3-D.  It really reminded me of the old "Disney."  As ...

Bought a nice velveteen-ish jacket at Salvation Army - eight dollars - it is pitiful wh ...
