So, I guess it is time to say this since I have bought it up to some friends. Here we are, in a time where we all need money, and the man who wishes to stimulate the economy has taken a billion dollars.
He took the money that people donated, for his campaign, and has decided that his people on his campaign should have an extra months pay and laptops and blackberries. Is this correct? Why did he not take the money that was set aside by the government and not put a BILLION dollar burden on America. How about you send back a 1000 dollars to everyone who made a donation???
Am I the only one that sees this? Am i wrong to think that he should not have taken America for a BILLION dollars? Please let me know.....
How did he INVEST in our economy.
That's not change, that's more of the same.

IMO, a billion dollars equal a lot of change.
all I can really do is try my best to tell people the Truth, even though I get hated for it,

Since he did not, a billion dollars came out of our economy that could have been used for mortgages, car payments or even health care.

I am in no way stating that he should not have done it, but he did in a time where gas was 4 bucks a gallon, people were laid off left and right and the banks are in free fall.
So, if he was such a great candidate, he should have kept his word and used federal funding. Since he did not, a billion dollars came out of our economy that could have been used for mortgages, car payments or even health care. I was simply trying to make a point that with all of the promises there are alot of people who gave money that could have pumped the economy.
This was not a personal attack and this has nothing to do with politics honestly but the mindset.
