Where does all the money go?

Right now we are borrowing forty cents on every dollar we spend, we being us America. How can this be, we the majority have been paying our taxes, yet then the government, has to borrow almost half of what America spends, why? We did not borrow this kind of money ten years ago. There is no house hold in America that could survive on this kind of budgeting, how can America survive?

We can’t, and we are not, at least not like the rest of the world. Like the countries that borrow us half the money we spend, China and Japan, they don’t have to borrow money to make their budgets, so why does America? We are the greatest country in the world, at least in most of our eyes, so how can anyone but America obviously, think they can live on borrowed money?

I know I know, depending on who you ask, we are spending all our money on education. Or on NASA. Or on programs the Democrats started that we don‘t need, like plan parent hood. Sorry, none of these reasons are why our deficit is now 4 times higher than what it was ten years ago. In fact, you could take all of these spending reasons and any others you can think of, and it wouldn’t add up to one percent of what the deficit has grown in the past ten years. Unless of course you choose the number 1 or 2 reason our deficit is 4 times higher than ten years ago.

Guess how much a cheap bomb cost and how many we dropped in the past ten years. The cheapest cost $30,000. The most expensive is over a million. Did you know it cost $500,000 to ship a 2 prop helicopter over seas? Do you know how many we shipped in the past ten years? Not to mention some of our war toys like a jet fighter, can cost up to $1,000,000,000? Do you realize how many jets and helicopters we bought from Boeing in the past ten years?

Yes Boeing and Oshkosh Truck will tell you, “it takes spending to make money.” But for who? For sure they will make money, but not for the majority, who will have to live in an over borrowed economy and try to survive. No problem for the war toy makers, they have plenty of our borrowed tax dollars, but for the majority, we are stuck with fixing a fantasy life budget, that believes it can borrow nearly a half of it’s spending. In the real world, this can not happen, but in our war minded governments world, it is! Why? Because the same rich the Republicans gave the tax cuts to, own and control our politicians. War is the number one reason we have to borrow money, replacing the rich tax money we lost is the second reason we borrow money. The majority wouldn’t be starting wars for money and giving the rich tax cuts, but the rich ran politicians will.

Asama Bin-laden said he had one simple goal, to bankrupt America. Even though he is long dead for nearly ten years I believe, his goal is becoming a reality. No matter what out come of these wars our government chooses to fight, Bin-laden is winning, it‘s just a question of how much he wins. The longer we fight in 2 out of how many countries that have terrorist that want to kill us, the more we lose and the more Bin-laden wins. For sure it’s time to stop Bin-laden and stop Boeings record profits. The majority does not benefit from these wars, Boeing and Bin-laden do.

I agree with you that military spending is way out of control. It's just not bombs either, it is military contracts. Companies like Halliburton are making insane amounts of money through wasteful spending on the government dime. Every employee who works over there is given a brand new SUV. There are instances where one these employees would get a flat tire and talk his supervisor for a new tire. The supervisor would tell him to park the SUV across the street, abandon and just get him a whole new car.

I spoke to a guy who worked on fixing military vehicles over in Iraq. At first, he would show up to work and fix everything he could, take parts from two different broken engines and make one working engine etc. His boss told him to stop, and just order new engines, it would be less work. He was then told to only work 10 minutes at a time then take a break for 50 minutes because he was getting too much done. For doing this, he was paid roughly 15 times what the average solider was being paid in Iraq. This is the kind of wasteful spending that needs to stop. Military spending insane.

Remember the days of the Clinton administration when we actually had a budget surplus and debt was actually going down?

Also, Planned Parenthood is not some program that the Democrats started. It is an independent non-profit organization that provides reproductive health, maternal and child health services. And Bin-Laden was killed back in May of this year. If there was any evidence that he had died sooner, there would have been at least one politician or party who would have tried to use his death to garner support or distract from some big blunder, like "Oh, there were no WMD in Iraq"
