1. K and R for exposure...

2. Yup; money is never an issue when it comes to funneling it upward

It's just when the "wrong" people get some bit of Treasury funds that Republicans are suddenly all worried about waste, fraud and abuse. If a wealthy person gets a hundred thousand dollar tax break and spends it on hookers and blow, Republicans don't care. A person barely scraping by gets an extra $20 a month, and Republicans want to go through every item in their grocery cart every week: "Well la-dee-dah, look at Miss Fancy, buying lean ground beef instead of regular!"

3. Yep. I am so glad Lee brought it up too.

The cons have zero plans to help those in need.

5. *ding!ding!ding!*

Clearly, the money isn’t an issue. It’s who gets it.

We have a winner.

6. Yep. +1!
