I would rather see the money go to clean up the end product of all that pork, the euphemistically named "hog lagoon". While the stench makes it obvious that it is polluting the air, it is also an environmental disaster for our precious rivers, streams and groundwater.

I would rather see the money go toward cleaning up the euphemistically named
"hog lagoons". They stink to the high heavens and they pose an environmental disaster to our ground water.

Indeed I think the classic concept of "the rich get richer, the poor get poorer" here.

I personally do not see why the taxpayer should have to foot the bill for this either, and whether or not this helps prevent the reoccuranced of the swine flu epidemic remains to be seen.

If they had the sense of a brass horn Billy Goat. they would not need money to buy pork for the disadvantaged. they are sitting in the seat of authority. all they have to do is change global trade to a point where we can not buy any more of other countries products, than they buy from us.
that way we americans can invest in factories, and hire americans, and then we won't need to help so many.under this situation today where capitolism has ignored every thing but profits. they are forcing this country into communism, or socialism,at that point. capitolism will cease to exist. I can't understand why someone else does not realize that.

What help did those congressmen offer citizens who had industrial pig factory farms move into their neighborhoods destroying their quality of life. Forcing people to breathe the toxic gases, have manure sprayed in the air to mist all over them, etc.

Who forced the hog industry to oversaturate the market, to oversaturate southeastern NC???

Where were those congressmen then? Stuffing their pockets with campaign donations from the industry?

The taxpayers now have to foot the bill for a greedy industry.

Congressman Coble is correct, ACORN is the biggest scandal since Watergate and a Pulitizer Prize wining oportunity for an enterprizing reporter and it
is going right over their heads. If it was not for Fox News and Glenn Beck
Americans would be totally ignorant of this criminal enterprise led by
Chicago cronies of President Barack Obama who is furiously back pedeling away from his involvement with this organization which was instrumental in helping him get elected.
Get the ACORN details here:

See exactly where Congress wants YOUR tax dollars to go.

Coble is right - reverse discrimination does exist BIG TIME all the way from the White House down to the media. And it stinks!

It's true. I don't. I still think 18 percent is a testament to my brilliance and being a III'rd just makes me three times more accomplished. I'm an idiot.

I don't understand the fascination with how often our Congressmen and Congresswomen are in the state. They are elected to represent us in Washington. That being said, I agree with TruthSquad that Hagen made a big deal about Dole not being here, so it is hypocritical of Hagen to show such little interest in being in the state. But, that's just a politician being a politician, right? They could actually mean what they say and say what they mean.

Re: Five. Five Congressmen on TV.

TruthSquad — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:14:39 -0400

Is it just me, or has Kay Hagen been very ABSENT from the state during this recess? I have seen where all other elected officials are out and about, meeting with constituents. You would think Hagan would want to come back and let the people of North Carolina know where she stands on the issues - considering she slammed Senator Dole during the 2008 campaign for not being visible in NC.

Giggle box must not know math but 4 R's and 4 D's have refused. So I guess the Dems are afraid too?
