Here, go to page 14 a get a clue.
http://www.fms.treas.gov/annualreport/annrpt00.pdfAll payments to people "living off handouts" amounts to 14 percent of our budget. And this includes benefits to the aged and disabled, unemployment compensation, and retirement programs. Actual money given to poor families floats in around 3 to 4 percent of our national budget, and this includes programs for pregnant mothers that can't afford formula and to help keep children homeless.
On the other hand, Medicare and Social security accounts for 34% of our budget and slated to continually grow. Ever been to florida and seen where these poor old folks shop, live and golf?
In other words, your inflammatory comments are nothing but a red herring. This country has long been well able to afford helping the needy, but people like you turn a mean eye while continuing to pile money and benefits on a group of people who largely don't need it, the elderly. My friend the financial planner has clients die all the time with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in their pensions, yet they collect money way beyond what they paid in. This, moron, is a "giveaway program". Why aren't you outraged?
What we can't afford, and what is steering us into a major tradegy, is for the old folks to keep voting dollars out of the working peoples' pockets.
Dem vs rep has little to do in the actual world with "give away programs". Both parties are steering this country toward financial ruin.
However, your beloved rep party is fuleing the drug war, trying to remove your constitutional rights, pushing for institutionalizing even more teens, warmongering around the world, and generally making the US the most hated nation in the world. 142,000 And that is thousand, teenagers were INSTITUTIONALIZED last year for MARIJUANA treatment largely in treatment centers using modalitys similar to what we were exposed to.
Who is behind this? Take a peek behind the curtain and you will see the elephant with drug free america stickers. Brought to you by...the republican party...
You sound like a fucking dweeb rush parrot.
Jackass...engage some thought before you speak.
