Between 2008 - 2012, we spent over half a Trillion dollars on direct cash payments for unemployed.

Unemployment benefits cost: $520 billion

Since 2012, Billions more have been spent - we are now approaching 3/4 of a Trillion dollars spent since 2008 on unemployment.

Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Patty Murray, Harry Reid, and Obama just betrayed our military and retired military - cutting their hard earned and well deserved pensions - in order to "save" $6 Billion......over ten years.

Disabled military are not exempt from the cuts.

Someone tell me, how in the hell do we justify spending tens of Billions of dollars now.....paying people not to work?
