We wouldn't have to spend as much if Bukakkees dad and his cronies went home.

i wonder how much it costs for all the social programs, all the grants, the whole government... lets complain about that.

i bet if we took down all the mlk and diversity posters off government buildings we could pay off the dept.

i wonder what is a better use of money, reminding everyone is MLK day, and monkey month 5 months before and 5 months after black history month, or fighting a war thats in the best interest of our country and the world as a whole

The deficit is ------ retarded. Who are we paying back? Ourselves? Its an irrelivent number we NEVER have to pay it off... ever. When will someone in office get this through their thick ------ skull!! We can spend all we want you dont need "backing" for every dollar spent. Whos going to punish us? Once again ourselves. Think about it, who gives a ---- about how much the govt spends and quit worrying about paying our own friggin reserves back it makes no damn sense at all. Give us a break and cut the damn taxes already. Print more money and go buy more nukes. Speaking of nukes, arent we being a little hypocritical about it? Who says you cant have those only WE can...------ politics.
