I had no idea

Has anyone actually looked at the Federal Budget lately? I don’t mean the OMB or Congress, obviously that’s their job and just as obviously they don’t do it. Why else would they pass the Farm Bill, the steel tariffs, argue about the tax cut, etc?

But seriously folks, out of a 2.2 TRILLION dollar budget – that’s $2,200,000,000,000 I think – only $785 billion actually accomplishes the duties of the government! The rest of it is welfare – Medicare, Social Security and the like. That just sounds massively wrong to me. One third of the dough the guv-mint takes from us every day actually goes to things that make our lives possible, the rest goes to our parents, grandparents and other assorted poor, unwashed masses. One third of that paltry seven hundred odd billion then goes to the military. So, in effect, free giveaways to various and sundry welfare programs are roughly TEN TIMES more important than our security?

Oh baby, remember than one the next time you’re tempted to vote for a Democrap.
