Obama gifts $45 million of YOUR money for public transit on native and tribal lands

None of these projects are in Florida.

Many of them are in Alaska though.

Sure I understand. Point is they don't need any public transit out in their everglades swamp reservation. If they did they could build it themselves. They are all driving BMW's and Lexus.

This from a SunSentinal newspaper article:

BEST LEXUS CUSTOMER

A 2002 federal trial in Fort Lauderdale revealed the Seminole Tribal Council was spending tens of millions on individual members outside of programs at a time when the tribe's main source of income was its casinos. Records and court testimony revealed that David Cypress, far and away the biggest spender, went through $57 million from his discretionary allocation in the three and a half years before the trial. To get assistance from him, all it took was a Hank Williams song or a cute baby, Cypress quipped in court.

"I always say, 'Grab the little baby, come to my door and pinch the baby and make it cry,' " he said. "I will give you a ton of dollars or something for Christmas."

He bought so many Lexuses, Cadillacs, BMWs and other luxury vehicles that he didn't remember who got them.

"You think you might be the world's greatest Lexus customer?" a defense attorney asked.

"I am pretty near it, if not," Cypress replied.

When Cypress spent his budget, he got more money.

So you made a generalization because of one newspaper article from 2002.

So you made a generalization because of one newspaper article from 2002.

Most people agree government spending is out of control. Just another example of spending money we don't have

Oh, the article is NOT from 2002. Just made reference to a trial during that time.
