Laugh Riot: Obama Will Sign Government Waste Bill Thursday

Written By : William Teach

No, seriously, he will, and he seems really geared up for it!

President Obama will sign into law Thursday the Improper Payment Elimination Act — an effort designed to slim down wasteful government programs and curb fraud in federal spending.

“The fact is, Washington is a place where tax dollars are often treated like Monopoly money, bartered and traded, divvied up among lobbyists and special interests,” Obama said in March when he announced the initiative. “And it has been a place where waste — even billions of dollars in waste — is accepted as the price of doing business.”

Got that? It’s not idiot elected officials, including Obama, wasting tax dollars, it’s those pesky lobbyists and special interests. You know, special interests which somehow got Obama to spend $23 million on Kenya’s constitution vote. And all the lobbyists who were awarded tons of breaks and perks in the ObamaCare, Stimulus, and finance bills. But, Barry is pumped

The act will use something known as payments recapture audits, which will pay auditors financial incentives to find improper payments. The White House said it could save $2 billion in taxpayer money over the next three years.

Oooooooooh, $2 billion over 3 years! That’s pocket change in Washington. Heck, I can think of a way we could have saved $862 billion. And we can certainly save some more if Obama would stop having all those parties at the White House. Granted, this is something that needs to be done, yet, you just know it is going to be done in a way that will have little impact.

“Well, I don’t accept business as usual,” the president said in March. “And the American people don’t accept it either, especially when one of the most pressing challenges we face is reining in long-term deficits which threaten to leave our children a mountain of debt.”

I’m speechless on that one.

Maybe if you'd read those bills you let your lobbyists friends write before voting on them we wouldn't be in this mess.

Seriously, blaming the lobbyists is such a cop-out. They aren't the ones enacting anything. They only have power because the majority party and whitehouse choose to listen to them (which party is that again?)

If this act works at all the first thing it will do is move to impeach our current glorious leader. That's the best and easiest way to cut down on spending.

“They only have power because the majority party and whitehouse choose to listen to them (which party is that again?)”

The number of K street lobbyists doubled during the Bush II regime. Bush, of course, ignored the lobbyists. I guess that is why their numbers doubled. Perhaps you have heard of the K Street Project. What was that project now?

UFKA_Smithwick

Cool story bro.

So tell me, who is president right now? Which party is currently making laws on behalf of wealthy donors and lobbyists?

TheDarkKnight

.. and unions specifically, don't forget the unions

Obama promised there would be NO lobbiest in his administration. What happened to THAT promise, Fiza?

UFKA_Smithwick

That was just a promise, it wasn't a promise-promise. If you know what I mean.

gfchicago

Kinda like a promise ring that a guy gives a girl just to promise to get engaged. It is usually not even real gold and the stone is just paste.

DrEvil

The One (PBUH) kept that promise like he kept all his other promises. He issued waivers for the numerous lobbyist in his Administration so its like he kept his promise without keeping his promise. He's just so awesome that he can break his word every day and leftists like the fools who troll around here can only respond that Bush did it first.

Have an Evil day

By your desperate deflection I can see you have no answer for what Smithwick said.
UFKA_Smithwick

You seem to have gotten distracted. Who is currently president of all 57 states? Bush? Or someone else?

Rose

His friends are handing Congress those bills, pre-packaged to accomplish HIS goals.
He knows what is in them, and they do accomplish his goals.

What he is saying isn't for the ears of his allies, it is pablum for the masses.

I remember a lady on the talk radio show call-in phone lines one time in the 90's – she thought Bill Clinton was a good, fine Christian man, because he went to church after the Monica Lewensky scandal, and talked to Billy Graham about his troubles.

Odrama Queen knows who he can reach with the pablum and rock them back to sleep nice and gentle like.

gfchicago

Rose, wasn't Jessie “Stick em up” Jackson on of his spiritual advisers as well. If I remember correctly Stick em up” around that time got caught as an out of wedlock father and embarrassed the heck out of his wife.

Real good spiritual adviser that one.

Rose

Yes, Jesse the stick-up artist was one of them – showing how serious Bill was! LOL! And you are right, it was about the same time as Jesse's own shortcomings were going to be shortly afterwards revealed.

I don't remember the third one off hand. Cannot search up a third name…

I think we all know where they'll find waste and needs for cuts. Military and Intelligence. Now I would be first to stand up and say there's waste and fat that needs to be trimmed in both areas (especially Intel right now) but that leaves out the bloated, gargantuan Jabba the Hutt/Baron Harkonnen whales of excess in other parts of the government. Don't just focus in the areas you don't happen to like, Dems. Of course, we know you will. And you'll define waste a bit differently than anyone sane or intelligent might.
That GI

CUTS? Let's see, this week, AP quoted lawmakers saying they wanted military cuts overseas, I'm deployed right now, and we've got vehicle as well as maintenance shortages. OH, we're just SO happy to see our great leaders in DC using 2 separate jets for vacations (Oslo as well as a separate plane for the dogon the latest trip) AND Dear Leader Pelousy having a large passenger jet JUST so she can go home without refueling at @ $35,000 a one-way trip, and she can have $100,000 liquor expenses so she and her minions can drink to forget about us lowly serfs!! Yes, expensive perks have gone through the roof after the Dems took over, partying on OUR money, why do you think they're finding ways to confiscate more and more of it with each monster bill passed?

Rose

One batch of city council Leftists just fired a lot of firefighters and bought a water sculture for just under $900,000.

I guess you know exactly how that feels, where you are!

Mediumheadboy

Further proof, as if any were needed, that leftists have no grasp whatsoever of irony…
Rose

How long with Americans wait to declare an end to the Odrama Queen's Administration and the destruction by the Left of this nation?

Looks like they are going to just stand around waiting for the Left to get too tired to continue, while totally unapposed.

Yeah, I know a lot of folks are doing all they can, letter writing, organizing, assembling… and accomplishing little or nothing in real terms of STOPPING the avalanche of Dim Destruction.

When will they decide the Dim Destruction MUST be stopped and reversed?

UFKA_Smithwick

I don't think they will control congress after the next round of elections.

Nor do I think Obama will remain president after 2012.

The polls give me reason for guarded optimism at this point.

Who knows, maybe the excesses of this regime will spur a backlash in the other direction that puts the country back on the right course?

Rose

I don't like the amount of damage I see the Dims pulling off, in several areas, but particularly in Criminal Law – promoting Sharia Law in the USA without a severe backlash against it, and literally dismantling the economy – – like that clause in the Health care bill that requires businesses to fill out a new IRS form 1099 for every new purchase of $600 or more…

Saw a new debate of Mike Bloomberg last night on Fox News regarding that new mega-mosque at Ground Zero – totally dismissing everything anyone said to him about the horrors of Sharia Law – he didn't think any of those charges were true!!!~~~
“We are the melting pot” and we don't challenge people's religions!~~~

He was insane. Kristen Powers is the same regarding the Black Panthers' voter intimidation in Philly at the 2008 Presidential Election…

Obviously if they were all of it, I wouldn't be concerned, just citing examples, of which Elena Kagan is a prime example…

If the GOP were the type to UNDO, REPEAL, and RECALL…

But they are too often like Boehner repuking Joe Barton for calling what Odrama Queen is doing Extortion, and McConnell believing it is wrong of him to campaign against Harry Reid.

I just feel like this November is too far away.

Not the impatience of youth and Christmas – just a bad feeling for this summer, for now… for critical mass reached.
And I am a glass half FULL person, not a pessimist, a strong Faith in God person, a miracle-believing person, but this thing is so huge…
Rose

I will choose to pray you are right! I can do that! :)

gfchicago

William I don't know why you are speechless over this one. We all knew what he was going to do. Ok I will admit that I didn't think he was going to use the tax payers money like his own personal piggy bank.

On second thought maybe it is worse than I was thinking.
