yea im sure the cops are just enforcing the law LOL

cops are just.
border patrol are just.
military are just.

everyone behaves and upholds the law.
To hear some tell it they rarely do which isn't true either. What you have like any group is a group of professionals doing the right thing with an occasional bad Apple making them look bad.

No I’m saying complaints about “welfare” have zero to do with the money being spent.

Again so called welfare programs(TANF, Foodstamps, WIC, section 8 housing) are a very tiny part of the federal budget. The largest of those 4 programs is the foodstamp program and it is less than 2% of the federal budget. Individually the rest of those programs are each less than 1% of the federal budget. It is not about the money. It is never about the money. It is about who as in who those programs are perceived to help that’s what so called “welfare” critics hate not the money spent, but the other Americans they perceive “welfare programs” are benefitting.
Food stamps cost over $80 Billion a year. If people are in need, fine. Let's go after waste, fraud, and abuse in every program. If you can't agree to that then you're in cahoots with everyone skimming off the system.

So you're ok with spending more to prevent fraud than the fraud actually costs?

I couldn't agree more.

The Pentagon itself decided it was so friend'd, is wasn't even sure it could audit it's own self...legit, they had no idea where all the money was going.

Want to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse?

Military spending is, what percent of our budget vs. food stamps?

We just gave the Pentagon a raise, yet they can't account for the money we're giving them?

If the Pentagon was a local contractor bidding on your roof, would you hire them?

Fess up, you're fine with welfare, as long as it's oil companies or the military that's on the teat.

I'm sure glad you're here to tell me what I think. I'm all for trimming the excess off of EVERY government program. Are you? And yes, gonna drag out ol' Hillary again. While Secretary of State her department couldn't account for $6 Billion. Poof! This kind of stuff, including the military, has to end and the best way to do that is hold people accountable with firings and even imprisonment if the situation warrants that.

Wow, no you didn't just bring up Hillary!

Way to prove your point!

Got anything more, maybe something about Obama?

Anyway, 'waste, fraud, and abuse' shows up way more in Congress and the Pentagon than it does in social services.

Do some research, you're really coming off as more of a tool than you usually do.

As always when a liberal has no argument he resorts to personal attacks. What exactly about wanting responsible government in every department makes me a "tool?"

You’re a ‘tool’ because you’re so upset about ‘welfare’, but you ignore the corporate and military welfare which dwarfs social service spending by a factor of 10k.

Like I said, do some basic research and come to your own conclusions.
