 thisnamecantbetaken says: Tax dollars are wrongly spent on all level of government. For example, in Los Angeles, the lion share of the city budget is spent on the police department. State wide the amount of money spent on the prison system is astronomical. Instead of hiring more cops and incarcerating more people, it would be a wise and durable investment to invest in good and free public education. Federally, the waste of our tax dollars and resources is just as absurd. President Obama will try to justify his escalation of the war in Afghanistan. By sending more troops to Afghanistan, the astronomical defense budget will keep going up and is likely to reach 700 billion in 2010. 1 billion people suffer from chronic hunger. It is Thanksgiving, and while the executives of Goldman Sachs, which are getting ready to pay themselves 21 billion in bonuses, have too much to be thankful for, the 49 million Americans going hungry every day should be resentful of a system that has let them down. You know its really sickening the way they are misappropriating so much money in areas in which they have put no accountability of the funds that have been doled out until after the fact, then it becomes a bag of snakes to try to rectify if possible at all. It just seems to be getting worst and worst. They just keep digging deeper into our pockets, our kids pockets, and our grand-kids pockets. There just seems to be no end. We have a serious problem with hunger and homelessness that are continuing to get worst also. I know for a fact that there are programs and agency's out there for the homeless and they are as useless as tits on a bull and are just a smokescreen with people collecting mone... Rants are welcome anytime, ofcapri. I enjoy reading them, they often go deeper than just little comments, so all's well and no worries, buddy. .  I may have a teensy weensy tendency to rant myself, too, on rare, rare, rare occasions, that is. (yeah, right!) . About the figures mentioned in the clip. Tens of millions of people starving and BILLIONS in bonuses to the fat cats. Do people have to be bleeding heart liberals to see, that there is something terribly wrong with that picture? How does America define success and prosperity? By the number of millionaires or billionaires it has? Shouldn't it by how happy and content it's people are? .  Regarding prisons, prison privatization is a real growth business. Lots of politicians, judges and other public "servants" (as in: they came to do good, and ended up doing very well, indeed) in the legislative writing and enforcement profession have invested heavily in this "recession proof" business. Since these folks depend on the incarceration market for their yacht fund, it is likely that they will do everything within their power to ensure that this trade will continue to grow. The point is, that starvation and homelessness will contribute to "lawlessness", because even hungry and homeless humans want to survive. But, it makes money for investors, so that makes hunger and homelessness good, right? "If they don't have bread why don't they eat cake?" Anybody learn about the Reign of Terror, history always repeats itself. Robespierre is patiently waiting for his chance. On Wall Street heads will roll. The mob will have their way, they always do. The USA should learn the lesson of France! |
