Things we can and can't afford

iu


Thanks to an insane government run by criminals.

When will Americans wake up to the fraud being perpetrated on them?


Biggest spending is on military, VA healthcare and welfare.

It is the government's job to protect this country, which means a strong military. It is the government's duty to protect our borders, which means adequate border security.

It is not the government's job to get involved in most other things, like wealth redistribution. And if the government wasn't so involved in the free market, it's likely some company would have advanced in their research for renewable energy. All we got from spending billions during Obama years was Solyndra and other companies that took the money and ran. Didn't produce shit.

Our government's priorities are well-defined in the constitution. Foreign aid to hostile countries- not their job. Redistributing money for illegal aliens, able-bodied people who don't work, and a healthcare system that doesn't work- not their job.

Government shouldn't be in the student loan business or any business. Once government decides to pay the bill by confiscation of the worker's wages, prices go up and the businesses that fund campaigns rake in the big money.

Government screwed over veterans by spending too much on a poorly run government system called the VA. No way in hell should they try to run the entire country's health system the same way.

Leftists seem to think that government should be heavily involved in everyone's life. That is unconstitutional.

If they would stick to their duty, as defined by our founding document, we wouldn't be in this mess. If private companies were allowed to compete and we had government out of the way, everything from healthcare to rebuilding infrastructure would be way cheaper.

We had roads, bridges, transportation, schools, hospitals and charities long before government decided to take over those things. Once they did, quality went down and cost went up.

welfare?

do you mean social security, the annuity i paid for with my salary?

:cuckoo:
 
Starkey, I'm not going to go down that 'rabbit hole' with you.. Seriously, pay attention the next time your tax accountant sits down with you... lol!
 
"The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else" should read, "The government cannot (should not?) payout what revenues have not taken in, or have the prospect of taking in". The propaganda that the 'government' is 'taking away' from anyone is not constructive, and is a false view. Americans have control over government expenditures through the House of Representatives.
 
Sahba is making a general statement that she can't defend, so she calls it a 'rabbit hole.' That's fine. The statement of hers means nothing.
 
The originator is the OP in the first place and you in the second place by adding "illegal" to the pile.

You have to show we are supporting the "illegal" with our tax monies. When you do, make sure you count in the taxes they are paying.

Sure 'Starkey'... "rabbit hole"!
 
Yes, Sahba, and you have failed. You have made a general statement with no evidence. Get some evidence.
 
That asshole Obama put this country into ten trillion dollars of debt. We can't afford jackshit until we pay off the bills that the shithead put on the credit card like welfare for Illegals and bailouts for Wall Street.
 
It's prounced 'fweebies', Ewe.

It's the damned wars that are killing us financially.
Really ? The largest chunk of the GDP is spent on entitlement programs. We spend twice as much on Social Security and Medicare as we do the Military.
Imagine how much we could do for the poor and middle class Americans, if we cut the War Dept. drastically?

Secondly, it should never be discounted how government's naturally become more and more tyrannical toward their citizens, as they become more and more militarily aggressive. We Americans have witnessed this historical precedent first hand since 9/11.

The elites love to claim SS unsustainable. When was the last time they claimed the War Dept. was unsustainable?

He also spent massively on the military, just like asshole W did. Trump looks to be doing the same.
