STUPID: That's what we are

Why don't we just admit it and give the Grand Prize for Stupid to America? We handed hundreds of billions of dollars of bailout money to the very bankers who own the Federal Reserve and create "money" out of thin air. Local and state governments are drowning in red ink because we allow public servants to set their own salaries and benefits and to unionize.

The bill for supporting illegal aliens is approaching a billion dollars a day while our borders lay wide open. The primary purpose of a nation's military is to protect the borders from invasion, so where is ours? It is scattered over the globe minding everyone's business and fighting banker-arranged wars for profit. We throw Foreign Aid everywhere and it ends up in the hands of crooked politicians. Amid all this, we are unable to take reasonable care of our veterans and elderly.

The Congress is supposed to create our money, not borrow everything they spend. Finally, Americans have to learn that there is no such thing as Federal Funding. Government has nothing to give to anyone until it first takes it from someone - you.
