No ARMY Money ?
Minnesota Senator to intro a bill to remove all Army money from motorsports today. That should be interesting.

Re: No ARMY Money ?
I like motor sports including NASCAR but in my opinion Tony Schumacher is not a good steward of my tax money.
This is not where TAX money should be spent with the budget issues now that our Federal Government has... It is 60% borrowed funds.... My 2 Cents Rick Cates |

Re: No ARMY Money ?
Multi-millionaires getting tax money to go racing...no wonder the U.S. is broke! Schumacher's been racing on the taxpayers money for quite some time now...pretty pathetic when you consider the fact that they also own Schumacher Electric that makes battery chargers that can be found in every Wal-Mart. Of course, Schumacher Electric had no problem closing a factory in Illinois and moving it to Mexico a couple of years ago! Most of their battery chargers are made in China as well. And they call him "Sarge"...all B.S. marketing. If he's really "Sarge", send him to Iraq or Afghanistan and see how he does! Maybe it's about time he started "racing on his own dime" rather than the back of the taxpayers. I'm done venting...my .02.

Re: No ARMY Money ?
Do we really want people defending our country because the Army sponsors a race car anyway? I think they should want to join for more personal reasons.

Re: No ARMY Money ?
What do you mean "he had to shell out a bunch of money" before he left? The Army is sending him in "harms way" and not supplying him with the neccessary equiptment? That is REVOLTING!
Best wishes to your son and thank him for his service. |

[QUOTE=mopacltd;243651]What do you mean "he had to shell out a bunch of money" before he left?
My nephew, who used to accompany me to the races many times, has been in the army the last couple of years and has experienced the same thing. There's alot of stuff that he's had to pay for out of his own pocket that they sure as hell didn't tell him when they recruited him. He did a tour in Iraq just over a year or so ago, and is getting sent to Afghanistan this summer. I sure as hell don't expect that "Sarge" is going over there anytime soon...he couldn't carry my nephew's "sack".
