Rookie120 0 #11 September 9, 2010 QuoteWhich one? Or just 50% across the board? Try to find a program that affects you or your business that you would cut. Thats when people get a little tight in the pants. I would cut EAS. That has a direct result on the business I work in but I hate that program.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

True of both political parties nowadays; they're two sides of the same coin. No, not always true. I receive no federal assistance and don't want any. I think any program that does not fall under defense or common infrastructire should be severely cut or illiminated. Welfare, pet projects (earmarks), bailing out the states, and other programs should be greatly reduced or cut completely. I even think soso security should be eliminated as a common fund and set up as a personal fund, that way people that didn't pay in much (like foriegners that work for 4 or 5 years) can't collect more than they paid in. The only people that would be hurt are those that are lazy and unmotivated. there are exception but a very small percentage. Also government spending should be locked into a percentage of GDP with a vote of the people to increase it. Congress should have their raises (or decreases ) based on GDP increase or decrease.

QuoteI think any program that does not fall under defense or common infrastructire should be severely cut or illiminated. OK, so then since we spend 8 times #2 spender for military + Iraq/AFG then we should cut too since it's unncessary? I agree. Tell me now, what do you do? Oh yea, don;t suck on the military nipple, so you're being a hypocrite. QuoteWelfare, pet projects (earmarks), bailing out the states, and other programs should be greatly reduced or cut completely.

And all the homeless should go fuck themselves too, all the elders who are now, in your sociopath's dream of a society are homeless. The WWII vets, fuck them, they are old and they are feeloaders; FUCK THEM GOD DAMNIT! I agree and we should bring back soilent green, as those freeloaders have been sucking us dry for so long that they owe us. QuoteThe only people that would be hurt are those that are lazy and unmotivated. there are exception but a very small percentage. Yea, those lazy mother fuckers who live in wheelchairs are just greedy, lazy fucks. Those elders who HELPED MAKE YOUR FUCKING WORLD HAPPEN are really just lazy at 80. QuoteAlso government spending should be locked into a percentage of GDP with a vote of the people to increase it. Congress should have their raises (or decreases ) based on GDP increase or decrease. But, of course, with the exception of military spendinbg; you're illustrating your own point when you were making sense a couple posts up.
