You left out the biggest fraud of all, the Earned Income Tax Credit (Thank you George HW Bush). All the poor are cashing their “tax refund checks” and buying new furniture and High Definition televisions.

‘Please explain to me how this man got elected.”

The same way he'll probably get reelected this year;

30-35 million brainless, witless, Kardashian worshiping, sheeple will go to the ballot box and vote the same way they buy toilet paper or floor wax - advertising. When you add that to the 20 million or so parasites that exist entirely to suckle at the government tit, and another 20 million or so anti-American, psychotic liberals - and presto - the 70 million or so it takes to inflict that worthless clown on us for another four years.

One muslim takes out all our entire military but builds his personal
army of thugs to destroy anything left that hinders his agenda.

But we know he isn’t doing it alone.

American’s should be so proud!

Free medical to illegals - higher costs to soldiers

Free handout for buying cars - higher costs to soldiers

$7000 bonus to GM hacks - higher costs to soldiers

Free college for selcted groups - higher costs for soldiers

BILLIONS to corrupt green companies and donors - higher costs to soldiers

No jail time for Corzine - court martial for Navy Seals

Got it yet?

Go to any large gathering of people and look around. There is your answer.

BS. Social programs cost more than the military. Cut those out and we’d be fine.

Jack Booted Union Thugs In The Military. What a future to look forward to.

It worked for Hitler for a while.

“Heritage Foundation and Paul Ryan fully support this proposal.”

Say WHAT? This sounds pretty unlikely to me, IMHO and congress would need to pass this, right? IMHO also, the greatest leaches on our society are the lazy folks who jump on Social Security Disability, welfare folks, etc. The Great Society of LBJ - “I will take from the haves and give to the have nots” was the original “let’s screw the middle class” mentality.

THAT has to quit. Take a look at the Soc. Security offices - do you see Q Tip folks (white hair / white shoes). NO, you see all young folks sucking our money.

Also, Ozippy has given us thousands and thousands of additional Government Employees. THAT also is a problem. This country needs LESS government, LESS government employees, etc. all the way down the line.

Our Service Men/Women both active and retired deserve the BEST this country has to offer. NOT illegal leaches, NOT lazy welfare folks or SSDI.

One note: Ever see Stevie Wonder? Gee, golly - he’s disabled. Bet he can’t do anything with HIS life? Ray Charles? Give me a break here.

Rant off.

I think cuts should start at the bloated DOD civilian workforce. Years ago while I was stationed at Hill AFB, UT, and later at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, the military there were a minority. My civilian counterpart earned more money than I did, he was in a strictly 8 to 4:30 job, and he never had to worry about deployment. You definitely did not want to be in the building foyer or the parking lot when 4:30 PM rolled around or you would get run over for sure.

I still can’t believe this guy is walking around. My mom was right - if you want to steal, think BIG.

You said it pretty well. It’s more obvious by the day, the regime is confident we’re past the tipping point, where more than half the population is either too dumbed-down, stoned, or dependent to vote for anything but their own destruction.

Drive up the costs so everyone wants socialism.

Obama Reveals Beginnings of Unionizing Plan for American Military?

Note: pay close attention to ‘Task Force 120’ mentioned in one of the comments. It’s about destroying the U.S.A.

The regime is one thing.

My problem is I have been doing a lot of traveling of late, and have pretty much come to the same conclusion. And the worst part is that ‘half’ may be understating the problem!

Reason #1937 why government control of OUR healthcare is an outrage.

I knew that bastard would use control of healthcare to reward and punish - just didn’t think he would get around to the military so soon.
