Not enough money to help Americans, but more than enough to put troops all over the world?

[Staidhup]

So who gives a shit if there are more billionaires, how about working to improve your standard of living and stop coveting another's good fortune. Once you cease from viewing yourself the victim it will amaze you on how fast your standard of living will increase and the bitterness will no longer dictate how you view life. I for one wouldn't want all the bullshit on my shoulders their good fortune provides, talk about guilt complex.

So should we station troops all over the world???? That is the main question.

Both Republicans and Democrats are beholden to the Military Industrial Complex. It's not a partisan issue. The Globalist Elites want Permanent War. And both Republican and Democrat Elites will oblige. It is what it is.

It seems to me just a couple years back. The democrats had full and total control. Why didn't they solve the poor delima you're whining about?

They had a good start. The number one cause of bankruptcy under Bush was Medical Bills. Republicans are determined to return to the good old days.

And Obama has made it worse. Now you have to pay monthly payments for insurance with a $7000 dollar deductible.

 

[rdean]

Wait a second. You mean the lion's share of tax expenditures go to the top 20%????

Good God, does the OP have any idea how many trillions of $ have been spent to help the poor?

Yes.... if rdean spends a trillion $ and it doesn't work.. he'll claim that if he had $2,000,000,000,000 it would work. Then he'd spend $2,000,000,000,000 and when that fails, he'll claim he just needs $3,000,000,000,000.. and so on and so on. They're insane.

Big Brother is taking in record Tax Revenue. We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

How many trillions have been spent in Iraq?

Is that your stock answer to everything?

Jesus you're dumber than bag of broken doorknobs.

 

[paulitician]

Big Brother is spending too much period. He continues to spend money he doesn't have. It's $19 Trillion in Debt and growing. He's hauling in record high Tax Revenue, and it's still not nearly enough. At some point, the spending will have to be reigned in.

This thread reminds me of Aesop's Fable the Tortoise and the Eagle.

Sadly it's the way of the new movement Conservatives. The ruse of "small government" is a smokescreen. The reality is simple. They consider anyone who receives assistance from the government to be a leech who is happily living off of the government and who's money should be cut immediately. All in the name of creating a "smaller government". Yet at the same time they turn absolutely apoplectic if someone mentions reducing the rate of growth of military spending or, God forbid, actually cutting the military budget. Their "small government" stance is bullshit. They want government. But they want government in the areas they demand. And the overwhelming bulk of that government should be in defense spending. Military spending. Huge R&D budgets. And without a doubt Endless War. They will happily roll from one conflict to the next. There is no war too small or no disagreement between countries that a few thousand American troops and a few trillion American dollars can't fix. It's the liberal interventionist neo-conservative way.

That is no different than how the Founding Fathers pictured the role of the Federal Government, MadeWithCheese! The Federal Government was supposed to provide the military to defend the country and the diplomats to forge treaties and trade agreements. That's all. They would be appalled at the "cradle to the grave" Nanny State that we now have.

 

[paulitician]

The OP does have a point though. U.S. Special Forces are now operating in an estimated 90 Nations around the world. But why? It's a fair question.

All ObamaCare did was shift who it was that would be going bankrupt because of medical bills from individuals to the country as a whole.

Good God, does the OP have any idea how many trillions of $ have been spent to help the poor?

How many trillions have been spent in Iraq?

Far less than that spent on welfare queens and other parasites, no doubt.

are the truly needy parasites,or are you talking about "other" parasites?....just askin.....

The truly needy are usually covered by social insurance programs. It is the others who disturb most.

no.....stay out of the third world except for humanitarian aid....
