Wall Street Journal has gone stupid!

The Wall Street Journal along with most of the GOP in office have become either very forgetful or stupid. My guess is that stupid has become contagious.

The following is just one of the things that part of the stimulus budget is going to provide, along with a very long list of military spending that is increasing along with the care of veterans. Yes, Wall Street, they are veterans because they were in the military but you must have forgotten that part. Convenient when you get right down to it considering the GOP had allowed the Bush White House to slaughter the VA budgets year after year. The cuts the Obama Administration wants to make is on defense contractors and programs that were started in repayment of support instead of supporting the troops. You know, like contracts to Blackwater and Halibuton. The difference is that this administration is about taking care, actual care of the men and women serving instead of serving self interest. It's about what they need to carry out two occupations begun under their control without wasteful money going out instead of taking care of the humans in harms way. In case they didn't notice, Americans have been paying attention even though they haven't. Did they really get so stupid they think they can lie and be believed?

Hood hospital one of many DoD stimulus projects

Fort Hood will get a $708 million hospital that will be paid for with money from the stimulus plan. The new hospital and a supporting utility plant will be located adjacent to Darnall Army Medical Center, the existing Vietnam War-era hospital at the central Texas post.

The replacement hospital will provide comprehensive ambulatory and ancillary care services to the 55,000 soldiers and 150,000 family members and retirees projected to be in the Fort Hood area.

Keith Eastin, assistant secretary of the Army for installations and environment, said “this is really a big project, and we’re glad [the Defense Department] saw fit to put it the plan, because it will be a great service to Army folks who live on or near Fort Hood.”

  1. This post is by far the best one so far....and STUPID isn't exactly the word I would apply to some of the GOP. My "humble" opinion, we need to clean house, not have a grandfather clause, and get folks back there that can think, and not just be puppets and so greedy. I am slowly running out of 'shoes' because of throwing them at the T.V. when some of the comments are being made. DUH !!! Why can't everyone get along Kathie. It doesn't mean we cannot all have our own opinion, but it seems to me that even respect for each other, as members of the same human race, is gone.

    Are you going to NAMI National Convention? If so, I am looking forward to meeting you.

  2. Hi GrandmaB
    You are so right!!!
    It seems the bulk of the American people had enough of this garbage and proved it in November when we voted. You would think the Republicans in office, and even some of the Democrats, would notice that we want to be Americans! We want to take care of this country, stop the nonsense have them work for all of us. What do they do when a constituent calls their office and they are not part of their party? Do they just hang up the phone? They represent everyone in their district and that includes people they slam all the time. As for the Wall Street Journal, what can we expect from a newspaper now controlled by FOX?

    I almost forgot. I don't know if I'm going to the convention or not yet. Waiting for grant to come in still so money is really tight. It would be great to finally meet.
