No money for Unemployment Comp or Food Stamps, but Plenty for Bombs and War

[tjakey]

This is America man, a place that makes Royalty and Kings out of robber barons and mercenaries. A place where people with an inadequate education and no access to a good paying job still think they could be rich someday. (The primary reason there is such a thing as LOTTO - keep the illusion alive.) It is, so far as I know, the only country who has ever cut taxes while waging an endless war. The utter lunacy of such a policy is hard to grasp, though it serves the war profiteers to a "T".

How this country got so completely off the rails is one of the puzzles of history. Why anyone would ever think of voting for people whose leadership is so appallingly bad (fuck, whose ability with basic math is so appallingly bad) is another.
