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 ...

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 ...

Would MModal survive? Would they even try to bring it back to the US? Would MModal and Nuance be bankrupted? I wish I was a fly on the wall in the offices of the CEO and those at the top.

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 ...

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 ...
