What's in the new spending bill, and can it be justified as necessary expenditures? How much of it will end up satisfying political favors? What about kick-backs that end up in campaign war chests? How much of it will be spent to cover defense contractor fraud and over-charges, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, subsidies, and ships and planes the military doesn't want nor need? How much will be spent on the care and support of illegal immigrants, foreign aid, wars, and the hundreds of military bases on foreign soil?
What percentage of the $1.1 Trillion will be spent on education, infrastructure, job training, assistance programs and Social Security, housing, renewable energy research and development, public transportation, the care and support of veterans, and venture capital to encourage and support innovation?
What percentage will be spent on such useless and wasteful projects as the fence along our southern border? How much of the budget will be used to continue supplying weapons to terrorists and drug lords? How many more mosques will we build on foreign soil?
The above are legitimate questions considering the fact that many future generations of Americans will be paying this debt. Debt? Yes, debt. The federal government borrows money each and every single day just to keep the government running. In fact, our economy is presently kept afloat with government debt. We are not a self-supporting nation, nor are we a self-supporting citizenry.
