Fear mongering? It's your political pals who are jumping up and down for joy at the thought of acccomplishing this.

If they don't succeed, it won't be thanks to you.

That made me laugh aloud!

Me too... Wow... no country... Who knew?

Those that don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it. Since nearly all previous civilizations failed from internal collapse, not being conquered, some would think that increasing debt and spending won't solve the problem but make it worse. What caused the Soviet collapse? Read the above sentence. A society/civilization on the brink will be more effected by all issues, climate, economy, ...everything. With the greatest debt in recorded history, more wasteful spending and debt won't help, but keep drinking the koolaid. :Koolaid:

Wayne, I guess that you're free to be a hypocrite as well, for if you weren't a hypocrite, you'd be complaining about the likes of George Soros as well --- Barry O's adviser, financier, and fellow hypocrite of yours. :bash I say Soros is a hypocrite as well because he came to the USA, the Capitalist land of Opportunity, in the 1950s, made BILLIONS, and is now dedicated to the overthrow of the capitalist system, so his associate, Barry O, can make it in his image and likeness...He is also a hypocrite because while he extols the virtue of the socialist mantra "spread the wealth", just like Barry O, he hasn't shed a single cent of his billions to any hypocrite anywhere...not even you !!!

Hey, Whatsyerface...Stop the fear mongering...It's NOT going to happen...All the bs taking place now is going to come to a grinding halt in a few weeks. BTW...I'm an Independent --- I'm neither a Republican nor DemonCrat sheeple as, I suspect, you are...

UPDATE: Soros donation, stim funds go to $200 grants for students

Philanthropist and financier George Soros and Gov. David Paterson rolled out a new program that uses a $35 million grant from Soros’ Open Society Institute to leverage another $140 in federal stimulus bucks. The sum will be used for $200-per-student grants to needy families as a “Back-to-School Supplement” intended for school supplies. From the release:

The supplements will be placed in accounts for each eligible family that can be accessed with their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which are normally used to access public assistance and food stamp benefits. Two-thirds of the eligible recipients of the back-to-school supplements are in food stamp-only households, and the majority of these households are low-income working families or families receiving unemployment benefits.

Families can use the money to buy their children books, pencils, pens, notebooks, calculators, backpacks, shoes, tutoring, school uniforms and other clothing and essential school items. Families should look to take advantage of discounts offered by retailers in the coming weeks before school starts. The $175 million in Back-To-School Supplements will provide an economic boost to communities throughout the State as families purchase supplies, bolstering back-to-school retail sales.

Soros to Donate $100 Million to Rights Group

George Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, plans to announce on Tuesday that he is giving $100 million to Human Rights Watch to expand the organization’s work globally.

It is the largest gift he has made, the largest gift by far that Human Rights Watch has ever received, and only the second gift of $100 million or more made by an individual this year, according to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. “We’re seeing noticeably fewer charitable gifts at the $100 million level from individuals reported than we did just a few years ago,” said Patrick Rooney, the center’s executive director. “Between 2006 and 2008, an average of about 13 gifts a year of that size by individuals was reported. In 2009, it dropped to six, and this year, we know of only one other.”

Soros to Donate $100 Million to Rights Group


Those are just the first two that popped up in my search... There are others...

He is apparently #8 in size of the foundation and the money it gives away, and #24 in number of non-profit jobs created.

How much have YOU donated to anything, Spykster?
