Here we go again! Why is it that when the democrats are in control, they downsize our military and cut their funding? We have so much foolish spending, but they would cut the military to continue the stupidity. The House, controlled by the republicans are opposed to this idiotic move. There was a general on the radio today who said he has grave concerns on what Obama and the democrats are proposing. He said it will seriously damage our capability to be involved in more than one conflict at once. We saw this same scenario with Carter who cut back on the military after the SALT treaties. Reagan had to spend more than he wanted to get the military back up to strength. Then it was Wild Bill who closed over 30 military bases and cut back military spending. Bush had to spend a fortune to get the military back to full strength. And now, here we go again! What is it with these foolish democrats?

Well in one word, OBAMACARE! Got to get the money from somewhere to pay for this disaster! Everyone seems to forget about the 16,000 new IRS agents they are hiring to over see the mess making sure everyone buys insurance whether they can afford it or not. Not to mention the new 159 buracracy's it has spawned or all the new office's being built to house all the new gov. workers hired to run the program, plus they all have to have state of the art computers and software, leather chairs and new office furniture. Plus new GM cars and vans and trucks and probably some airplanes as well to fly the executives to the finest resorts across the globe for meetings and hob nobbing.
Then of course you have to pay the salary's and benefits for all of them as well.
Not to mention the billions WE HAVE TO GIVE to Hammas, ACORN, Planned Parenthood, National Musuem of the Arts and such! We HAVE TO HAVE all of these things, military? Ah we can live without them, we have another 9/11 we can just blame it on the republican in charge at the time, same as we did last time!

Don't stop your list too soon. Don't forget we have to give free healthcare to the poor, free food to the poor, free cell phones to the poor, free childcare to the poor, free ER visits for the poor who get a runny nose, free housing assistance to the poor, for disabled kids of poor people they get a monthly check, all of them get free lunches.
So if you can't take anything away from the poor or disabled your only left with taking stuff away from those still working, including the military.

Imagine drug dealer's are enjoying all those free minutes! LOL, drug dealers are eating pretty good too when they pay pennies or trade drugs for someones foodstamp card and pin#. First $1200 per month you make is the same as what a poor person gets for free, so if your not making more than that its difficult to justify wasting 40hrs per week at a job. Lay around, go fishing, have sex, watch TV, go for a walk, watch some more TV, etc...... Must be a tuff life. Almost forgot, try to file for earned income tax credit and have a shopping spree each January with $8,000 you didn't earn.

It's a circus! But one day in the very near future we'll finally admit we're broke and won't have the funds to fund all these wonderful feel good programs and our streets will make greece look like a pic nik!

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have a daughter and son in law who are lucky if they work a month out of the year. They are divorced, but still live together. Every year they get an earned income tax credit check. I don't think it's quite $8,000 each, more like $5,000.
They also are on MA (medical assistance). That's free healthcare people with low income get. Which is why I will never understand the reason for Obamacare. Supposedly, Obamacare is to provide healthcare for people who can't afford it, right? Well, people who can't afford get it free now! What it really does is FORCE people who can afford it, but don't buy it, to buy it. But, they needed to include ALL of the people to make it look like Obamacare was mostly to provide healthcare for the poor.

Oh if we compared kin folks im sure id win as to whose is the sorriest! Most of mine are all slackers and live with one hand out trying to get more free stuff so they can sit around stoned all day long! Usually hear from them when someone dies and they want me to pay for the funeral!
All obamacare is going to do is put more people who now have insurance on the do not have insurance list! Plus cost double what they claimed it would to begin with which means when all is said and done it will cost triple or more than what they said!

Right on about Obamacare. It also throws those who are on medicare under the bus, as the democrats like to say, since it cuts 500 billion from medicare benefits to help pay for Obamacare. They never tell you about that only that when it comes to medicare, the republicans are throwing the elderly under the bus.

No the republicans are pushing granny off a cliff! Obamacare is without a doubt the sorriest piece of legislation ever written! And the stupid democrats still can't come up with a budget! 3 years and counting! But they attack any budget the republican's put out for all to see! Why anyone would vote for these idiots is beyond me.

Obama care may get overturned. I don't mind keeping unmarried kids on my insurance until age 26 since it will be the same price even without them since my wife is on it.
We all have poor folks in the family and I came from a poor family. I don't have a problem with poor folks getting help if its for a limited time. Maybe a lifetime limit should be placed on them.
