As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.

So, did Porkulus do it’s job? Oh, Really? Just “normal” government spending?

Take a look see at this chart – do YOU see stimulative type spending there? No, I didn’t either.  Just regular, run-of-the-mill spending; nothing extra-ordinary.  Again, ask yourself (AND EVERY CONGRESSCRITTER THAT VOTED FOR IT) – if it was so durned important to "stimulate" the economy, why has only government spending been increased?  And why …
