In reference to a new New York program funded by federal stimulus cash (with a little extra from George Soros) that gives $200 for each kid under the premise of back-to-school shopping:
"It's free money!" said Alecia Rumph, 26.
Now, there were definitely worse uses of the stimulus cash around the country, and not being a New York citizen, this blog will not attempt to question the choice.
However, this shows the problem with Obama's promises of everything for everyone with no consequences. Bush did it with his "Go shopping!" request after 9/11, and if someone doesn't step in, it's only going to get worse.
