The folks who're paying for the free shit can no longer afford to pay for both the free shit & their own shit. The folks who are getting free shit, don't like the folks who are paying for the free shit. And .. the folks who are paying for the free shit, want the free shit to stop. And .. the folks who are getting the free shit, want even MORE free shit on top of the free shit that they are already getting! Now ...... the people who are forcing the people who PAY for the free shit, have told Folks who are RECEIVING the free shit, that the people who're PAYING for the free shit, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist. So .... the people who are GETTING the free shit, have been convinced they need to HATE the people who are PAYING for the free shit by the people who are forcing the people who are PAYING for the free shit and GIVING them the free shit in the first place. And - - - - that's the straight shit! * * * * * * * Aim for the exit hole | ||

Yeh, and the part that REALLY pisses me off is that we are BORROWING the money to give free shit to folks in other countries who hate us!!! ...Not to mention letting them kill our kids who try to save their unworthy asses. I still think we should ABSOLUTELY END EVERY DIME OF FOREGN AID, Yesterday if not sooner. | |||

I appreciate the sentiment about foreign aid, but the amount is minuscle. During the Eisenhower administration, entitlements were about 20% of the federal budget. This year, they exceed 65%. THAT is the problem. Keep your eye on the donut, not on the hole. | |||

The donut is made up of lots of little pieces. Foreign aid is just the first one I would get rid of. As to entitlements, lots of younger ignoramuses are calling Social Security an entitlement...as if we didn't each pay for it every damned paycheck of our lives, for our whole lives. It would have earned plenty to support itself if the MFs in Congress hadn't "borrowed" it all years ago to spend on their idiot social programs. Had they limited their do-gooders' bull crap to what the general revenue fund could have actually paid for as they went, instead of saving every wooly grub and bat eared worm in nature, fighting a zillion little wars that were (and are) none of our "f-ing" business, and so on, we'd be okay. But no, they had to use our trust funds to buy votes so they can continue to get almost $200,000 per year plus almost unlimited expense accounts for dreaming up more programs for buying more votes next election. Where is the French revolution and the guillotine (allegorically, not literally) when we need one? We have a whole damned government full of Marie Antoinettes and her "Let them eat cake" attitude. My second step would be to put HEAVY duties on every single manufactured thing bought from outside the U.S....basically to force corporations to make ALL the things we need here, in factories of OURS. The aim would be to make it cheaper to employ Americans and buy at home. That would solve the employment problem, and the lack of tax revenue problems both. Plus in times of hostilities, it wouldn't leave us dependant on other countries' "maybe" friendship. I know, this isn't the political forum, so I'll shut up. | |||

The first step might be knocking off the touchy-feely terms: Return to calling "entitlements" charity and "undocumented aliens" criminals. Aim for the exit hole | |||
