More politics!

How your tax dollars are at work Kind of a neat, but somewhat faulty map showing where government grants and stimulus money is going. Awkward format, but I think they just wanted to show how it was spread out location wise.

Although to be more precise, this is more a map of your future tax dollars, as I am pretty sure most of this funding is coming from borrowing. I am actually ok with that...unlike the US, Canada borrows most of its money locally, so Canadians and Canadian banks can benefit from the interest...on the other hand do you know who owns a LOT (about 1/4) of the American debt? CHINA! Crazy...but explains why they keep importing so much of their junky stuff. Seriously...if the US started boycotting Made in China goods, and caused a serious economic crisis in China, they would risk having the debt called... The thought that China has that much economic control over the US should keep you up at night...

Of course what do I know about politics...I train horses for a living and hate watching the news...
