WHY?
By Lee S Gliddon Jr
Every time I watch an action television show involving the CIA, ATF, CID or any of our many departments charged wi keeping America safe I see a recurring theme.
"We have to cut expenses due to budget shortages." or, "We are short handed, expenses."
Let's look at reality.
Within the last 5 years...just 5 years...multi-billions of tax payer money have been totally wasted. We know of the governmental duplication of departments and ridiculous salaries of government employees, but what we must add to these wasteful and downright sinful use of our tax dollars is:
$88 million given to HAMAS, a terrorist organization;
Billions in Foreign Aid to nations that hate us and all we stand for;
Billions given to Obama's cronies to speculate on 'Green Issues;'
Billionns given Obama cronies to open Green businesses in foreign countries;
Millions spent on handguns and rifles, ammunition, and body armor for IRS and DHS employees;
$1.1 billion for Obama's vacations;
Untold millions for Biden's hotel stays;
Solyndra like fiascoes;
$900 billion for a failed Stimulus program;
$560 million for a failed Obamacare computer program;
Untold millions for Obamacare advertising;
$1.5 billion for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt;
Money offered as a reward to people under 26 who sign up for Obamacare, and\
Untold billions for programs that make no sense to anyone.
Additionally, we, the taxpayers of America are paying untold millions to keep up vacant buildings owned by the government, watch as ships, weighing hundreds of thousands of tons being sold
for $.01. (a penny) We see buildings, closed Post Offices, being sold to Obama cronies for mere cents on the dollar.
We are constantly told:
Our cities are broken financially;
There is no money to repair potholes in our streets and highways;
There is no money to repair bridges;
Police and Fire Departments must cut back their staffs and cease hiring;
There is no money to buy new, and needed communication systems;
There is no money to refurbish sewer systems, water plants, and such necessaries;
There is not enough money to keep libraries open, and
The list goes on.
We, both the richest among us, as well as the middle class are subjected to higher taxation yet are told, "We cannot afford it," anytime governmental services are asked about.
One arrogant politician, Nancy Pelosi, went so far as to say, "There is not one cent of wasteful spending in our government as we have cut out all wasteful spending."
Then, as if not to be topped, our Defense Secretary, Hagel, tells us we must cut back our military due to expense matters!The rate of inflation, (true rate), is kept hidden from us. The rate of Unemployment is blatantly lied about. And one inane Democrat went on television and said, "There have been more jobs created by this Administration in 5 years than in the 8 years of George Bush.
All of this must change. We cannot be expected to pay the way of people that refuse to produce and live off Welfare, Food Stamps, and the many dole programs given out freely by our government.
I titled this as, 'Why,' as this is what I ask myself almost daily. In my mind I ask everyone who reads this to join with me and demand an answer of their Representatives and Senators.
