On Top of our Spending While Talking Cuts

Obamanation continues to deplete the coffers of this country at a record pace. Our deficits are staggering and he just keeps pumping it out. And look at another example of our spending. An outfit called Deployment Essentials LLC based in Florida was able to get their hands on $1.47 million of stimulus funds through the Federal Communications Commission.

What for you ask? It is to help the poor folks of LA, NYC and Dallas install digital TV converter boxes. So far they have used 67 temporary employees (think cheap labor, no benefits or rights) to convert 5,113 technically challenged people. They referred another 1,023 to the TV help line.

Think about it? The government made us change to DTV's, even pays for the converter boxes and with this grant then pays companies to show people how they work .... ummm?

And you guessed it, zero permanent jobs created. The stuff you hear from DC on all these new jobs ... look around and ask your friends and neighbors if they have one? The stimulus package was nothing more than a lottery for the well connected. And our debt soars.
