So You Don't Want The Money From The Stimulus Package - Gimme It!

Dear Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi,

Say what? You seem to want to make trouble for the new president because he’s a democrat and he is desperately trying to fix a leak in the damn that is about the size of this country. Wonder who started that leak? Could it be the jelly head who just left office? Rings true to me.

So I want to address both of you separately. Let’s start with the state that I hated to spell in grammar school. Miss iss ippi. Couldn’t you just call the state “Bob?” Do you know how many times I had to stay after school and write that bloody name on the chalkboard? BTW – I will never visit your state! So you don’t want all the money because a law should be changed to give unemployment to part time workers? I bet most would like full time jobs but couldn’t get them. I bet if they don’t get help, you’ll have money problems then unemployment. How about more homeless, more crime, more violence? We are not playing by the old rules. The old rules got us here. People need help and they need it now.

I do know of one way to bring health care costs down in your state so that you could save a bundle. I can’t believe that I want to help a state that got me detention! Look around . What do you see? The fattest state in this country! Over 30% of your people are obese. over 30%! Your people are killing themselves. How about taking that money and buy a few treadmills, take junk food out of schools, start more sports programs, make walking mandatory, make employees get up every 30 minutes to walk and stretch their legs? Miss iss ippi could be the first state to say, “You can’t fry it when you’re on a diet!”Stop playing with people’s lives. If the government ,in this day and age, does not do enough to help its people then I think people will have the right to turn their back on their government and then things could get really nasty. Maybe a bunch of unemployed and homeless people could come live in the governor’s mansion with you and the little lady. Although if she is living in Miss iss ippi chances are that she isn’t that little. meow.

Okay getting moving and call Richard Simmons and let’s chat with Bobby. You are the governor of Louisiana another state I hated to spell. So you got your eye on the presidency in 2012? You know we won’t let you in until President Obama fixes the country and by then you will probably be a democrat because it may take a long time before you all get back into the White House without a personal invitation.

So you don’t want to cover more people on unemployment? who do you deny insurance to? Because it might call for an increase in taxes? Hello? Anyone at home there? Now nobody likes taxes, but I think most would not like to see people living in their cars, kids not going to school, more violence and more people dying because you are so damn busy with trying to look like you don’t need the stinking money! You need the stinking money. A lot! Remember Hurricane Katrina? Remember what bad government did to your state? Remember all those people without homes, bloated bodies floating in the flood waters and people without medicine or clean water? How about forgetting politics for a while and concentrate on helping your people?

We need to concentrate on the now because if we don’t, you can kiss the future of this country good bye. Everyone will move to France. If they will have us.

I can’t say that I know all that goes into the stimulus program, but I do get annoyed when the governor of Idao’s lawyer, Mr. Hensley, says and I quote, “ I never imagined that Congress would tell the state of Idaho to spend $5.5 billion on bike paths and pedestrians lanes. “(NY Times 2/21/2009). Go peel a potato or 2. I don’t think Congress is telling you that, but if you look closer maybe you’ll see someone from your state who stuck it the package. Now i know there are things like that in the package and whoever put these things in needs to be horse whipped, but for about 15 Grand, I‘ll fix the path and walks. Put the rest in education for moronic lawyers and silly governors.
