from hope to fear?

From Glenn Beck's daily e-mail thing:

"This is what hope looks like? Obama said today that we may not survive if we don't pass the stimulus package. Sounds more like fear mongering to Glenn, but hey, who are we to question 'the one?' President Obama says it's absolutely necessary to our nation's survival, so Glenn re-looks at what's in the stimulus package to see what we 'have to pass' in order to survive."

He then gives a link to list of 50 must have items to 'save' America from the stimulus.

A few of my favorites:
$4.2 billion for “neighborhood stabilization activities”
$650 million for digital-TV coupons; $90 million to educate “vulnerable populations”
$150 million for the Smithsonian
$600 million to convert the federal auto fleet to hybrids
$450 million for NASA (carve-out for “climate-research missions”)
$600 million for NOAA (carve-out for “climate modeling”)
$1 billion for the Census Bureau
$87 million for a polar icebreaking ship
$150 million for “producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish”


This entire economic SPENDING democratic wish list just drives me crazy. I am very thankful that this world is not my own and that I will be spending eternity with my Lord and Savior.
