Obama’s stash money!
Documentation File on the 2014 Impeachment of B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro a former Foreign Student from Indonesia, and still a legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
What a wonderful, generous government!
Where did the federal government get that money?
Hmm. I wonder how much of that actually went to Americans, and how much went to illegals.
How much were the administrative expenses I wonder.
And how much was the cost to society of having people sit around getting drunk, doing drugs and sponging off the taxpayers.
The Obama Administration is spending $2 trillion per year to destroy the American work ethic.
You know I have a little problem with the “got” in regards to programs that working Americans paid into like Social Security and Medicare, people paid into these programs with the promise of return on their investment, it’s not something for free and not their fault the government hijacked the money.
Considering that the US Government collects about $2.1 trillion in total taxes and excises, etc...
It means that these benefits consume nearly all of the total tax revenue
That also means that the rest of the functioning government - military, courts, NASA, Agriculture, national parks, etc...etc... are paid for nearly entirely by borrowed money!!
I bet not all were Americans.
In economic terms, the government expenditures multiplier is always one less than the private sector multiplier. Simply stated, this economy would be better served if the gov’t only provided those goods and services dictated by the Constitution, namely the provision of social overhead capital (e.g., transportation and communication infrastructure) and the policing of property rights (e.g., a standing military and a legal system). The reduced expenditures and taxes would see our economy thrive in the absence of all of the taxes and regulations that are currently strangling our economy.
One of our Founders pointed out the following:
‘The government cannot give to one American without first taking from another American’.
This truism should be reflected in both the headline and the content of the article. And this principle should be acknowledged in every political speech as well.
I have a friend who is not quite as astute as my FRiends here.
In response to my complaints of Federal overspending he said:
“The govt has a lot more money than they tell us about”
So, we have that going for us.
I haven't read the article, but I'm not sure I want to.
Blood pressure.
I'm sure they are lumping earned and paid for Social Security with the exploding number of SS permanent "disability" parasites which are in the process of bankrupting the once working Social Security System.
I can't stand reading once more the litany of Obamalies.
Screw the grandkids, LET’S PARTY!
better than sending the money to Iraq
They got the headline wrong.
Americans Got $2 Trillion in Benefits from Other Americans in 2013
I hate these misstatements that continue to change people’s minds about how the money system works.
This is NOT the govenernment’s money. It belongs to taxpayers.
A better title should read “Government steals $2 trillion from taxpayers to pay transfer payments”.
I like the word transfer as it denotes what is actually happening.
