Who Else is Getting REAL Tired of the US Gov't?

And the thing is, medical bills cause more personal bankrupcies than anything else. And that is totally fucked up. Its totally fucked up that any medical procedure costs 1.5 million dollars, no matter what they are or how long they take. Let me see here, $1.5 million / 72 days = $21k PER DAY... fuck that shit. That's almost $1,000.00 per hour, 24 hours per day, for two and a half months. Nothing should fucking cost that much. Especially not something determining whether or not someone lives.

Are you fucking serious?
 


Oh come on. The US spends less than 4% of GDP on welfare programs. That's including state/local spending. And no, not everyone has those oportunities. Besides, the success you feel is getting punished is success most likely based on a larger than average usage of the commons.

If 4% is such a minor issue why don't you send me 4% of your earnings? In fact, send everyone in this thread 4% of your earnings. Pretty soon you'll have nothing.
 
Cost of Obama's campaign: $700 million.

Everyone that contributed expects a return on their investment.

Every election is like this really, but how do you pay back $700 million without screwing mad people?

How we elected people is really fucked.
 
Pointless spending? It's a direct economical stimulus in the hands of those who will need it most. It provides income to dealerships, who in turn support manufacturing and service employees, who in turn will spend that money back in the economy.

What?

Money the government spends has to come from someone else who now spends less by the same exact amount. Here's a great article on that: IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Obama Is Only Digging The Hole Deeper

Pointless spending

I would have to say buying cars and then destroying them is pretty fucking pointless.
 
Its not only pointless, its fucking insulting. You have people who can't afford ... health insurance ... because they're paying for their car so they can get to and from work, and you left wing idiots actually think its a GOOD idea to RAISE the cost of cars / REDUCE the amount of cars available?

WTF.
 
Ah the irony - I heard the cash for clunkers program is actually causing more pollution and using more energy to destroy all the vehicles than they would have produced if they stayed on the road. And what happens to the people who just bought a new car if they lose their jobs?

Some of you are getting this shit twisted. People who use their stimulus check to buy drugs or go carjacking do not choose to suck at life; by this point they have no choice. People who get laid off have no choice in the matter, and they are not all going to have the necessary skills to find jobs before it gets to the point where they are dependent on assistance. Especially those who had been working at the same place for 20-30 years while the job market has completely changed. Go spend some time at the local rescue mission and you will see what I am saying..


You ALWAYS have a choice. You can do whatever you want, be whatever you want. They simply choose not to be something great, not to be a better person, or even a decent person. Its THEIR fault and nobody else's. They DO suck at life. Its their fault they did not acquire any extra skills/knowledge than the bare minimum to get by, its not anyone else's.
Nor should it be anyone else's problem. If this system didn't exist maybe they would make the effort. Instead of thinkimg "oh well, i'll just get on unemployement/welfare". "I can trade in my car that I got for 500 bucks and get 500k", "on top of that the gov is giving me $500 for free". All paid for by REAL americans, not mooching losers.
 
Christ, didn't any of you bitches watch ZEITGEIST?

Obama is the motherfucking anti-christ, and all your ex-girlfriends you refused to buy an abortion for because "it wasnt yours" got their way and now we're all fucked.

Shut up and take it in the ass, America.

This post is awesome. It doesn't even matter if you're serious or not. It's still awesome.

That would be more accurate if we were still on the gold standard. They can print up as much as they want and toss whatever they want onto the national debt. Of course that can raise inflation and cause other problems. Those looking at this as a Repub vs. Dems thing should remember it was Dick Cheney who said "Reagen showed us the national debt doesn't matter."

I lean more to being a fiscal conservative, but try to look at things from different angles. The lower an income someone has the more likely they are to spend a higher percentage of their money. $50,000 sitting in Donald Trump's bank account does you little good, while a Ford employee being able to keep his job and make $50,000 is going to lead to his wife buying acai berries and shit.

How many presidents has Hugh Hefner lived through? For each one there were people who said that president was the worst ever and was going to cause the end of the world, etc. Does Mr. Hefner regret not spending more time being angry at politicians?
 
How are they destroying the Cash for Clunkers cars? Don't tell me it's incineration.

This is a very good point.
