"Reparations"

[dennisw]

What a complete farce and rip-off of the taxpayers. I doubt this would pass after the Republicans take over in January.

What a disgrace. Shows what BS the Democrats are talking with their bipartisan debt commission

Is this an extension of the Pigford case?

We need the names of the critters who voted for this, again.

Hey I was cheated too. I didn’t get no money. Where is mine.

[Arrowhead1952]

The government will direct $3.4 billion to American Indians who say the Interior Department swindled them out of royalties from natural resources like gas and timber.

This reminds me about an Native Indian lady who lived near our town. She left the reservation in OK because all the oil dollars and bought several hundred acres with her American husband.

A couple of years after they built a nice home, an oil company hit a wildcat well on that land. Within a few years, there were at least seven producing wells on the place. She said she was cursed with oil money.

...and the lies continue so liars and theives can get money!

"The costs of the bill would be offset by diverting dollars from a surplus in nutrition programs for women and children, extending customs user fees and new efforts for the Treasury to recoup excess unemployment insurance payments."

A "surplus in nutrition programs for women and children?"???

[SueRae]

DO NOT FUND. Period.

[neverbluffer]

People have to realize that this kind of stuff is never going away, never. It will always be the politically connected class i.e. blacks, hispanics, muslims, indians, women, etc. using discrimination as a tool.

Now that got the golden egg, next one will be larger!

Everything that is happening right now in our country and the economy is 100% due to political correctness and our country’s reaction to it.

The country is not coming back.....

If anyone comes across a roll call for this bill, please provide a link. I’d like to know who the republicans were who apparently voted for it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

When are the government bureaucrats who “discriminated” against the blacks and Indians going to be indicted and tried for their “hate crimes”? The American people need to demand answers. The U.S. taxpayers should not be the only people punished by this DemocRAT reparations scheme.

I wish they would check the sources of income for these “farmers” who are getting a piece of this pie. There are only a select few who farm full time in my surrounding area and the others throw a crop in the ground once a year and make a few thousand dollars for extra income.

To provide payoff to the part timers is fraud.

[John S Mosby]

Someone please get a copy of this bill and the enabling legislation so we can track who gets this money. There were only 33K black farmers in the first place of this “claim”. Now the possiblity exists for “proxy” claims and ripping off the increased amount. It is also doubtful that black farmers were discriminated against, just because someone said so. The reality is that farming is hard, black or white. These people have found a way to pad their rear ends. 4.6 B, imagine! Thats two stealth bombers.

Are there sixty votes for this in the Senate?

[Happy Rain]

Yesterday on the House floor,Michelle Bachman said something like “apparently” since so many racists work at the USDA and have committed racial discrimination “on the job”—federal felonies—she is looking forward to the DOJ investigating and prosecuting the criminals who have now cost the taxpayer 4.6 Billion Dollars.

Man,the subpoenas will be flying come January!!!
