Glad our government spends our money well...

 

Growing number of americans are becoming poor, but its a good thing our government is looking out for us!

The first tee is a great charity program that is known to increase grades by an average of 28 percent for those children that participate. It is helping to get kids out of the inner-city and is proving to be very helpful and beneficial. Ha, one of my best friends works there.

 

As for the rest of that stuff. I agree :).

I had no clue, well then we should keep it! We could save billions on wasted programs and stuff like this and put more in towards things like the first tee and health care. We have more then enough money to take care of our citizens without having very high taxes, but our leaders would rather waste billions on crap.

 

I also read about a Jackass museum for 500,000. Funny fact it seems most these people spending money like this are Republicans

Don't pin this on just them though...it is all politicians mrcool. Democrats and Republicans alike enjoy frivolous spending. We need to, in my opinion stop labeling the two and realize the difference between them is only very minor, and that it is possible to reach across the aisle. Lol ok, finished with my political rant for the day. Have a good one man.
