$30-THOUSAND DOLLAR A PLATE PORK ROAST
Independence Institute– When President Obama signs his so-called stimulus bill in Denver on Tuesday, his stroke of the pen is equal to each American family signing over a $30-thousand dollar check to the government.1
“At a time when tough budgeting decisions are being made around the kitchen table, each family in America will soon be 30-thousand dollars deeper in hock, thanks to this legislation,” says Jon Caldara, President of the free-market think tank, the Independence Institute. “Most of that spending should never happen at all, and much of that money will be spent on pork that won't even taste good.” read more...

I guess I am more ignorant than I thought. Fairness Doctrine? I thought there was something called freedom of the press or something like that. Why does the government have the right to tell a radio station who they have to talk about? If you don’t like it, change the station! Come on, it seems like a no brainer to me. Let’s not forget that television and radio are not the only source in the year 2009 to get information. We do have a little something called the internet.

Presumably, you aren't a lawyer.
If you are you are then you are one of the few that has an honest grasp on what our legal system is based on.
