Robbing Americans to Pay for War

I have ten dollars. I can buy food for my children with it, or buy a remote for my security system. What shoukd I do? The alarm company told me I don't need the remote, but I could put another sign about how great my security system is in my window.

Same-old, same-old with new scarier packaging featuring 10% more hate and 20% more cultural acceptance of bigotry.

That said the Dems put Pelosi back in place. Same-old with same-old packaging featuring nothing.

What a waste.

I love the fact that they stuck with Pelosi, want to go with Ellison and Jennifer Palmieri is talking about white nationalism!


As General Honore might say, "They are stuck on stupid!"


I applaud the Democrat realization...


We just weren't nasty enough!

The data showed that the Defense Department was paying a staggering number of people — 1,014,000 contractors, civilians and uniformed personnel — to fill back-office jobs far from the front lines. That workforce supports 1.3 million troops on active duty, the fewest since 1940.

But some Pentagon leaders said they fretted that by spotlighting so much waste, the study would undermine their repeated public assertions that years of budget austerity had left the armed forces starved of funds. Instead of providing more money, they said, they worried Congress and the White House might decide to cut deeper.

That's humorous.

Hey, look at the silver linings...now we're sure to keep all those bad terrorist immigrants out of Flint so they won't have to settle there, drink the rusty metal-flavored water and come down with a disease that will spark a humanitarian crisis and subsequently devalue our status in the world!

That's humorous.

What part? The part where the defense department is just as full of bloat and waste as every other agency in the entire federal government?

You know, the federal government that has been operating without a budget ever since Obama lost his compliant House and Senate?

the government that Nancy Pelosi assured us had already been cut to the bone that there was nowhere else to cut from a 4 trillion dollar budget. (Back when they actually did budgeting?)

Why do you want to throw all those civilian employees and contractors out on the street. You don't want them to feed their kids? What about the children?
