[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5112492, member: 24302"] I've said repeatedly, but you never acknowledge that I have, that if there's a necessary program that we can afford then by all means pay for it. But let's look at some of the spending going on. For example why isn't more going towards homeless vets? Why are huge amounts being spent on pointless wars? On non-citizens? When you can explain to me why politicians are throwing money at certain constituencies to keep votes coming in but ignoring groups like homeless vets I will listen. Don't try to tell us that everything proposed and spent on is necessary. SS and Medicare are two of the best things, if not the best, the Democrats ever devised. But throwing trillions at poverty but never alleviating poverty suggests these programs are used to buy votes and line pockets. The same goes for getting us into wars to make defense contractors happy. You want to attack on a personal level everyone who disagrees with constant spending but you damn sure want us to contribute every week from our paychecks. By the way, because I didn't file for several years I didn't get any stimulus checks. Which means I owe less than what I would've gotten. So save your BS for someone else. [/QUOTE]
