Why don't the dumb ass tea baggers complain about this waste? Because nobody tells them to complain about it, thats why. They only complain about the money that comes back to us..Who do they fight for, not you and me....It's our money, and it's not a crime if we benifit from it.
I'll take my chances with the terrorists..Give me 146,000 full ride scholorships instead- It's better for the state/country
Who cares? Walfare is less than 1% of the fedral budget...Most of your taxes go to the military, military debt, and vetrans benifits...Who are we fighting again? Who are we afraid of? It's looting

Did Homeland Security have ANYTHING to do with his arrest? If it didn't (which it didn't) then that argument falls flat. He was working at DIA under the noses of Homeland Security.

vl, as much as i pretty much agree with homeland security being somewhat worthless here in Colorado, your other comment is about where most of the taxes go is wrong again. The debt that we have is not from military debt, or veterans benefits, for the the military. We do have a share but not the majority

Is this really what we want to do with any of our money? Taking care of soldiers cradle to grave, 2 illegal wars costing 2 billion a week for what, 520 weeks now? C'mon, all i'm asking for is a little common sense here. Lets educate our children, and invest some of our money here and in us for a change.
