Tons of money are wasted on bullshit programs the government should have no part in each year. This is money that could go to valid and necessary expenses such as treating those who would fight and die for their country well.

It's amazing to me that people will argue themselves blue protecting the supposed right of goverment to whatever it can squeeze out of my wallet for whatever random crap it wants to spend it on this week when it consistently fails to find funds for what I and most of those I know would consider to be the basics.

By blaming Republicans for this just because you guys don't like them you are simply part of the problem. Government does not now nor has it ever been good at actually getting anything done efficiently. That's why we were meant to limit what it does to as few things as possible.

Instead, we have made our government into one of the most powerful charities on Earth. America is a giant, ineffectual Salvation Army with actual guns and itchy trigger fingers. People still donate an incredible percentage of their incomes to this charity, despite the fact that only about 5-9% of the donations goes toward the intended purposes of their donations. I guess they believe these donations to be mandatory.

Government, because of it's nature, was only meant to be responsible for those few necessary things that no one else would do for lack of any means of making a profit. It's exceedingly simple. Because We the People are retarded and can't seem to remember simple things, choosing instead to vote for idiots, I live next door to a WWII/ Korea vet that is dying from neglect. I do what I can, but he's proud and believes Uncle Sam is providing for him so he refuses whatever he feels looks too much like charity.
