We cut our budgets to the VA and to Seniors so we can give handouts to the Islamics that want us to go home,we need to pack up and take back the $$$ to where it really belongs.That's "change" that will make a difference.

While I'm mostly in sympathy with your broad point, it pains me when folks think that cutting off foreign aid or foreign military bases will make any big difference in the problems we have. Yes, those expenses could and should be managed better, but they are a whiz in the ocean.

Keep in mind, we borrow something around 40% of what we spend, probably higher this year. That means we can only really afford the other 60%. "Taking the money back to where it belongs..." sound compassionate, but we don't really have it. In fact, we're already "helping our own citizens" in excess of what we can afford: Dependence on Government Highest in History

If you want to really be frightened out of your gord here's an article that goes into very detailed analysis of where and how quickly we are blowing the budget: The 2012 Index of Dependence on Government

That's why I will comment regularly that we will be Greece before we know it. We're going to have to cut the umbilical to government for a bunch of folks who have become too dependant..................and they are going to screech like stuck pigs.
