Government has too much money. Worse, government wastes the money it has.
Barack created an almost trillion dollar "Recovery Act", to create jobs--it is a fraud and a slush fund.
"While the Big Apple is busy using Recovery Act money to urge its citizens to drink less soda and eat less salt, it is also using stimulus funds to survey New Yorkers on the possibility of a soda tax.
When reached by The Daily Caller, a spokesperson for the New York City Department of Health confirmed the ongoing survey and the use of their $31.1 million in Recovery Act grants to fund it. The survey is in conjunction with a city-wide anti-obesity campaign, also funded with Recovery Act money through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) program.
“The survey covers a wide range of topics including breastfeeding, water, and consumption of sugar sweetened beverages,” said the spokesperson. “The Health Department uses surveys such as these to regulate and assess its ongoing efforts.”
Money stolen from the poor, those who have lost their jobs and homes, is being used to help raise taxes and determine if women breast feed enough. Seriously.
New York is a corrupt city. It is challenging Chicago, San Fran and Los Angeles for the title of most corrupt city in the nation.
To use $31 million in tax money, money meant to create jobs to set up a tax increase is a crime. Mayor Bloomberg needs to resign and those responsible need to be fired and jailed for embezzlement of public funds.
This is why the Congressional Republicans are on the right track--end the corruption of Federal spending. What do you think? Does this make you angry?
