Insane isn't it, and I get sick to my stomach every time I look at my paycheck noting how much the corruptament stole from me, and then used the stolen money for the items that you listed, as well as many more failed communistic corruptament programs that our mentally disturbed so-called representatives unconstitutionally legislate. Due to this corruptament insanity, I cannot afford my own needs and wants, because I'm forced to pay for the needs and wants of outlaws such as illegal aliens, and the low down lazy low-life loafers that abuse the so-called "Welfare" system. "AAAAAAAAAHHH! AAAAAAHHH! just to quote Sam Kennison, it's the only relief I have:(
Reply:At least these are somewhat functional. How much money goes to people so that they can have the pleasure to sit on their azz?
Reply:You know I wish I could just blame 1 party for this, but I can't. I would like to see the federal government do only what it was supposed to do. Provide for the common defense and handle the mail. The states were supposed to involve themselves in writing of laws and education. The reasoning being that they were closer to the citizens then the feds were. Maybe the senate and congress should only meet every couple of years like they do in the states. Then they couldn't mess us up so bad.
