Wild Pork Spending For ACORN, La Raza | Suey! Suey!

Your money, rolling in the mud

Barbara Hollingsworth of the D.C. Examiner recently offered inquiring minds a glimpse into how some of the economic stimulus dollars taxpayers are putting up will work. Specifically, for those of you who love pork and controversial special interests like the Association for Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN), the National Education Association (NEA) and National Council of La Raza, bon appetit!

Hollingsworth suggests that one of the first things President Obama should do to cut the federal deficit in half by 2013 is to cut the congealed pork fat that’s slated to fall into the trough of those organizations and others like them. ACORN, the NEA and La Raza have “already received billions of tax dollars under Obama’s $787 billion stimulus plan,” she says, and they are expected to receive even more.

Suey! Suey!

Taxpayers for Common Sense found thousands of earmarks in the recent economic omnibus, which totaled $7.7 billion. President Obama has vowed to fight back against earmarks, so one wonders when he’s going to get on that…

The omnibus bill, according to Hollingsworth, contains a $473,000 earmark for La Raza, “which has called for Mexico to annex the southwestern states.” ACORN, an organization that has been implicated in voter fraud and is largely responsible for America’s subprime housing crisis, is slated for “more than $7 million in earmarks.” ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Wild Pork Spending For ACORN, La Raza | Suey!
