No, Google has not bought the United States. Japan won’t sell it. And they haven’t bought the government. The Saudis are not selling either.
Google government is a pretty cool idea that Ron Paul and Barack Obama have said they will do:
Enter Sen. Barack Obama, Rep. Ron Paul, Sen. Sam Brownback, Sen. Mike Gravel, Rep. Dennis Kucinch and Mr. John Cox. These presidential candidates have all embraced the concept of “Google government” by signing the Oath of Presidential Transparency— which is sponsored by a non-partisan coalition led by the Reason Foundation.
By signing the oath they are promising, should they win the presidency in 2008, that they will issue an executive order during their first month in office instructing the entire executive branch to put into practice the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, a Google-like search tool that will allow taxpayers to hop online and see exactly how their tax dollars are being spent on federal contracts, grants and earmarks.
Where are the rest of the so-called fiscal conservatives? This is something they could do that would really excite the base. Let’s get on board fellas.
