(6,150 posts)Not a peep from the GOPee about the rampant fraud, waste, and abuse in the military, private contracting, Wall Street, etc. etc. etc. Those squandered sums DWARF the paltry % of the Federal budget that goes to providing assistance to those in need.
When the MFing hypocrites start cracking down on the much bigger drain of $$$$$$$$$$ into the pockets of their cronies, I'll be impressed.
Until then demonizing the poor is just a way to displace the anger of idiot GOPee voters from the wealthy--who are the ones REALLY screwing them--onto the poor.
Oh, and the snooze media needs to start putting up pie charts showing the % of tax dollars that go to corporate welfare and war spending vs. the paltry sums that go to helping others. AND showing the benefits of investing in citizens in terms of avoiding future expenditures by properly nourishing children, preventive healthcare, education, etc. I'm not holding my breath. There is more $$$$$$$$ in manufacturing outrage and keeping the populace ignorant.
