  • Interesting right up until he referred to our veterans as "damaged goods"

    That's what we refer to our solders who were injured as? "damaged goods"?


    Go fuck Yourself!

    • @Nothingisfree I think it's meant less as saying they're useless and more as a stab at the government for needlessly using their population as tools of war, which end up on the scrapheap when they're done with them...

      People who signed up for, knew exactly what they were getting into?

      our soldiers are not "victims" They knew what they were risking, and they were brave enough to take the risk.

      I didn't like the way that part was expressed either.

      I don't see you getting mad at the Christian/Zionist war machine that sent them off to be maimed in the first place.

      Funny about that.

      You want a critic to be respectful, but the government can treat men and women like disposable pawns?

  • Yet you all scream about the dangerous of socialized medicine and how government should not provide jobs and funding. In fact the USA is already a socialized country as so much government money is spent subsiding so many people and jobs in the defense industries. Without government money the American economy would collapse. So much for capitalism and free markets. lol

    Is it any wonder there is always another threat right around the corner??

      Unlike the government you probably have a savings account with money in it. You know your limits.

      Keep that bullshit up. Two wars on the credit cards, the biggest handout to wallstreet in history and you blame the fucking poor.

  • I just received my tax return for 2011 back from the IRS. It puzzles me? They are questioning how many dependents I claimed. I guess it was because of my response to the question: "List all dependents?"

    I replied: 12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads; 42 million unemployed people on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons; Half of Mexico; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate."

    Evidently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, W More..

    • @ZANGADO all of the third world shitholes we siphon money into, even countries that claim to be first world but are lacking in big ways such as Isreal. A large number of Chinese since our government refuses to play hardball with them over the trade deficit...

      Our government(our employees) are throwing money away every chance they get, just so they can try to justify getting more money.

  • WE spend more on defense than the next 14 countries combined and 8 of them are our allies! Time to cut back just a little say 10 percent.

  • Unfortunately... there are plenty of idiots who will be happy to know that 53% of their taxes go to military expenditures. Probably see some of them on this thread.

      Willfully ignorant is no way to go through life, Myron.

      All types of aid to the needy -- Medicaid, housing subsidies, aid to poor families with children (welfare, which accounts for about 1 percent of the budget), food stamps, school lunches and so on, plus unemployment benefits -- account for about 16 percent of the budget.

      Why is it that you have no problem with the corporate welfare and government subsidies given to huge, for-profit corporations and multi-national banks?

  • 19% goes to national defense. Look it up.

    • @govett no, you are lying. our "national defense" includes the cia, fbi, dhs and a host of other government acronyms. the department of energy, because they keep our nukes. nasa, because they control the satelites. hell, i'll bet the info you've read still catagorizes the coast gaurd as department of transportation.

    • @govett maybe you should read your own sources before posting comments. like i said before, those numbers don't take into account things like veterans affairs, nasa with its satelites and DOE with its nukes. even your own source leaves them out. ffs man, it even leaves out the coast guard.

      directly under defense spending is a pink block with the veterans affairs. there are two seperate pink blocks under that with nasa's portion and other civil defense expenditures. just to the right of th More..
