    Actors are starving (without their caviar) in Hollywood and need work!

  • Same old Democratic Party payback. Just like NY State and their blatant rewards for Unions who elect them. These Democrats are by far the worst liars on the planet. They promise increased school aid during every election to show how they support education, but never tell you it's for union salaries and pensions (90% of the NY State school budget). Why are people so gullible?

    Today's headline in My local paper proclaims 100,000 new jobs to NY state from the stimulus package. Every politician is eying that money for their own political purpose, and when you read between the lines you'll see it means more state employees. Which translates to a larger public payroll in 2 years, 10 years, etc. The pensions (80% of the last 3 years including overtime which is awarded based on seniority) is not even mentioned. We have the highest taxes in the country because of this kind of shell game and upstate has the 2nd highest poverty rate because businesses have fled this high tax state. Nice plan, Democrats. Act like you care and screw the poor out of a job, but take care of them.

    We bailed out the country of Mexico in there collapse. We bailed out Russia so there country would not collapse. We give billions for South America, Billions for Africa, Rebuilding Iraq, Afghanistan, These Country's have there own oil, diamonds, gold, silver, Platinum, copper, and many other precious metals and gems but the Governments of those Country's keep all the money when they are able to rebuild or feed there people but refuse, that's what the United Nation's is supposed to do. Not for us to buy there friendship with arms and cash. We need to build a Bullet Train up and down the east coast, and east coast to the west coast, Corporations are the blame for this Country's down fall no one else, they have sold us out.

    Isn't that like the same as giving money to the arts so more artists can paint more pictures and sell them at some crazy price? Gees these special interest groups are killing us. How much money did Oprah, Soros, and Spielberg give Obama anyways?
