Description
You'll learn a lot about government spending from this interview with Kristina Rasmussen, Director of Government Affairs with the National Taxpayers Union.

This program discusses the Bush $150 billion "Stimulus tax rebate" which as host Howard Phillips pointed out, "On this issue, at least, George Bush has trumped George McGovern, and he is a McGovernite." Viewers may remember former Senator McGovern's (D-SD) disastrous pledge to give every American $1,000 during his 1972 race for the White House. Rob Peter to pay Paul. The only money the government has is what it took from you in taxes (or printed or borrowed from China).
Various commentators have stated this is actually a stimulus for Communist China, which lends the money (buying US government bonds) which will be used by many recipients to buy Chinese goods.
Kristina Rasmussen also discusses two new government websites which give some transparency to government spending:
http://www.ExpectMore.gov which rates the effectiveness of government programs and agencies. She emphasizes that many of these agencies and programs are unconstitutional or should not exist, but at least there is some degree of accountability now.
The other website is:
http://www.USASpending.gov
which lists all government grants and spending of $25,000 and more.
The program also focuses on Saul Alinsky and his book "Rules for Radicals" which advocates using taxpayer funds for political activism. Both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barrack Hussein Obama studied Alinksy's methods--search for "Saul Alinsky" and Clinton or Obama for the details.
This is an edition of Conservative Roundtable, the nationally broadcast conservative television program hosted by Howard Phillips, and produced by The Conservative Caucus.
