I, as many other supporters watched a video of President
Obama speaking directly to Americans about the need for
immediate action on the economy.
As a supporter of President Obama, I of course got the same
email message as others have at
http://my.barackobama.com/recoveryvideo.
It was as expected but one simple statement by Obama caused
me great concern!
Obama said: As soon as this plan is signed into law,
recovery.gov goes live, and you'll be able to see precisely
where your tax dollars are going, because this is your
democracy, and as I said throughout the campaign, change
never begins from the top down. It begins from the bottom
up.
Now I love the ideal of Obama's transparency promise to
post the used of funds, but what I would like to see on his
planned web site is our leaders who currently support the
project and why, along with leaders who do not support and
why? As well as those who have added pet projects to get
their vote!
To me transparency is upfront and now, not after the
project is approved! Why can we not have all the facts now?
We have all seen in the last few years such a misuse of our
money one has to ask, what is being covered up now?
Our government has handed out billions to banks in an
effort to boost their bottom lines and yet top executives
of the same banks got over $1 billion in combined salaries
and benefits! Now considering the staggering fact that the
amounts given to executives would have covered the bailout
cost of 46 percent of the banks that received out tax
dollars!
Let's not forget the bailout package of 2008 that was sold
to America under the guise of helping homeowners do to the
mortgage crises. We all know that the homeowners where
left out and big corporate got the hand out such as wall
street, auto makers, banks and investment companies.
Auto makers also got $25 billion assist the carmakers in
the production of more environmentally friendly vehicles!
The sad fact is this is not the only issue of our
governments misuse of tax payers money!
What are your thoughts? Share them now before it's to late
with your government leaders and most importantly with
President Obama by going to
