The cost of having basic human decency is always a big issue. Dropping 2000 pounds of HE on a mud hut for several million a mission....no problem. It?s just Ridiculous incompetence, rampant corruption and squandering of money are problems with politicians in general on all levels of government. Welfare isn?t breaking this nation Health Care wouldn?t either. The thieves that run it are. A century of not longer worth of lying, greedy corrupt professional politicians.


I'm posting numbers in reference to the Welfare programs the US supports and you're trying to back your side of the argument with our spending on Defense. You said

http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/Resource...lReports/YearlyBudget/AnnualReport2010-11.pdf

General Wefare Funds 8.3 Billion

http://www.defense.gov/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=12652

663.8 billion

About 80 times more on Defense then Welfare..And AFAIK from these reports in the past the Cost of these wars are not included directly.

I'm talking about the percentage of welfare/transfer payments that makes up the US budget. Your argument as I see it, is that we spend an insignificant amount of money in proportion to the overall spending on these welfare/transfer payments and we spend absurd amounts of money on our defense and need to focus on eliminating that.

Yes we all get how much the right hates poor people. The idea, that poor people need to starve and die to savea few bucks is pretty detisable.

You still haven't replied to my question as to what your counterargument is. I have not stated once that poor people need to starve and die. As an American taxpayer I do however believe my tax dollars should be spent more appropriately. Regulations on transfer payments need to be increased and force people to get off their rear ends and work.

When you decide to post what point you're trying to make in regards to my original post I will be more than happy to respond in a respectful manner. Posting graphs and making statements about hating the poor, however, has no meaning.

No one makes that argument. Furthermore, the fact that the freest market in world history led to the strongest and largest middle class, certainly shows that some forms of intervention might actually be worse than letting the market work by itself.

Of cours they make that exact argument.

the rest is delsuional partly line talking points with no basis in reality.

Would you please show some credible evidence for your arguments that are not just mere opinion? I showed evidence of fiscal spending and my post was completely disregarded.

I don't prefer any of these presidents as they are good for nothing for me. Weren't the mass killings all over the world by USA supposed to end once Obama got the presidents seat? What has he done? Nothing!

Simply denying anything that doesnt show what you want, doesnt change reality.

Americans are not very popular in the world and with good reason. Whine all you like but, your not going to get your butts kissed. If you prefer nothing but hoo rahh perhaps Hannity's blog would be more to your tastes.

With America's dominantly two party system you're likely to only get a good response from independents and maybe 3rd party affiliates. Most polls pretty much confirm that republicans and democrats are largely uniform in their approval ratings of Obama. I know... he two-party system really kills the suspense ;)

You are giving no credible evidence to support your claims. Not much unlike other posts that clearly show your "dislike" for the American people. Once you do something besides just saying "since I said so" (not a direct quote obviously) then maybe your statements will hold some credibility.
