What is wrong with these people? Because of Obama, I got my home loan modified to now be able to stay in my house, AND will be able to afford my monthly student loan payments, AND got my taxes cut... How is this wasteful spending? It's not my fault my Master's degree got me a crappy salary because the jobs I could have had LEFT DURING THE BUSH YEARS... HA. You republicans will find a way to spin everything, but when everyday people work hard to get their education, roll up their sleeves at their 8-5 job... and can still only barely make it by, how do you think helping those who work for a living is wasteful? I HATE WELFARE and giving money to those who don't work.. YES, I AGREE THAT IS WASTEFUL... but it is not wasteful to provide assistance to those who've worked hard to attend college, now have a decent job, and would like to raise a family. Amazing how the 2 people I knew who attended this TEA party inherited their parents' wealth and have no idea what it's like to actually work for what they have... HA! Well, now that Palin wants to get the nomination next go around, it looks like Obama will have 8 years and you people will continue to protests.
