Everything costs money - our money
Looks like the president and his wife are running around like a bunch of jet-setters - on talk shows, at graduations and visiting other countries and states. It costs a lot of money for the fuel to take Air Force One everywhere, plus Secret Service and extra police. How much money are they making when they get on the talk shows.
Meanwhile, we are having taxes pushed at us. Gov. Quinn is doing everything he can to raise more taxes, even using scare tactics like Bush did. The Democrats are getting away with a lot of pet projects and having fun. What's wrong with the Republicans? More people are getting laid off. Where's the help we were supposed to get? Who's getting all the money and doing nothing?
