I won't accept a lower standard of living. I will just steal from the rich who originally stole from me.

Why isn't anyone talking about the largest item in our national budget: the Defense budget?

The USA is not only the world leader in military spending but we currently spend more than twice the next four nations combined. The Cold War has been over for almost 20 years and yet we're still running in the arms race against the former Soviet Union! You want to talk about out-of-control spending? There you go.

As long as the rich get to keep their tax cuts, the Pentagon gets to keep its bloated Cold War budget and the corporations keep their corporate welfare, the American people do not owe one God damned dime in austerity cuts!

LOL. Because I like to educate myself about what is going on in the world!

you will know to much then and we will need to kill you.

Nah just chill,when you die you will lose everything,so everything you will gather here will vanish. So just learn the most most most important things you will need,and screw everything else,just make sure you are happy all your time,because happiness is the only thing that really matters in our short miserable lives

Wow, was my mention of the Pentagon's budget so toxic to this discussion that everyone immediately ran from it?

No I just agreed with it so much. We cannot debate without finding something to dispute.
