I'm guess they are just 'too tired' to deal with them this year. Spending money is hard work, not too mention health care and running the auto industry. Sort of like UK's Brown, next year will be better. Are you feeling all warm and fuzzy?
Translation.. We know we owe you big time for getting us elected so we are gonna let you feed at the trough like the pigs you are.. Next year, we will come up with a different more creative excuse to spend like a whore in Nieman Marcus. Thanks!
God, this is getting ridiculous. How are people still buying into this bullshit? Dear Obama voters, You were lied to. Thanks for fucking the rest of us in the process. Love, America
