United States Deficit

I do not by any means put the entire blame on the executive branch. I do however have certain viewpoints on the shortcomings of our president. Saying that those viewpoints are just a regurgitation of what is in the media and/or based on a lack of intelligence is quite definitely false. The american media does not fully disclose the shortcomings of this country's leadership (executive and legislative) as it is remains very conservative overall. If you have any doubt of that you can pick up one of those almanacs you mentioned, point your stubby little finger to very nearly any country and go see what their media has to say about the United States' role on the world stage. As for my personal intelligence, I'm not going to give you a full resume to contradict you as you obviously choose to believe what you wish and do not respect anyone else's right to do the same.

bob lives in asheltered world where things like welfare fraud dont exist. i see it first hand everyday. even tho bob has some good political views, these problems do exist and the best place to start to alleviate our problems, is at the bottom. quite giving low life crackheads free money. quit making prison such a happy place to go. things like that. why should 6th graders be given laptops for free? education is wonderful, but come on.

my wife has a friend that milks the welfare system to the fullest. free house, free clothes, free food. it disgusts me knowing that i'm paying for her to sit home and watch tv all day long. she got a lob at wendys a couple weeks ago and quit because she found out she would lose a portion of her section 8 housing. and her husband has a decent job, getting paid under the table of course. it just p**ses me off to no end. i'm disabled cuz i'm blind. but yet i still own a business and work my ass off to support my family. i had no choice cuz when i lost my eyesight, the government wouldnt help me in any way and turned me down for disability. and the real kicker was i worked for 18 years paying into it, and never once had the opportunity to stop paying into it, and i sat there and watched my whole world fall apart cuz i had to quit my job, i had no income, the bank foreclosed on my house, and my family and i were tossed in the street.

all because i couldnt get the help i needed and at the same time, our e*cked up government let that elijon gonzalez kid come here, gave his dad a house, a job, insurance, and brought all his relatives here. i was sop**sed i sued the government and after 5 years won. i get disability now for my kids. whoop de f'ing do. $248 a month.

so i thank god for the fact that i work my ass off and have achieved what i did. but i hate anyone that lives on welfare and its a big drain on our governments finances. welfare should be a limited access thing. you should only be allowed to get it once in your lifetime, and only for maybe 3 months, or til you find a job. and it should be such a small amount that it forces people to have to get jobs. mcdonalds is always hiring and $8 an hour is not bad money.

sorry for the long rant, this is just a very touchy subject for me. and bob, i suggest you step out of your glass bubble and go into the city and take a good look at whats going on around you. repair to our governments infrastructure must start at the bottom. the people.

How about not spending almost half a trillion dollars on killing people do you realize what could be done with that kind of money in the right hands? For any who wonder why the U.S. is the most hated nation on earth need only look to people like bob to find why.
