Where did the $800 billion stimulus meant for jobs and fixing our infrastructure end up? If you look below of the where what ended up being $787 billion and later revised to $831 billion, if you count all the education the total amount spent on jobs and fixing our infrastructure was only $100 billion dollars which means $731 was blown thank you my elected officials. The bulk of it went to economic justice and alternative energy companies which donated to the Democratic Party then went bankrupt. Tell me that wasn’t a payoff. This is why we need to get rid of all the politicians in the US Congress (especially the lawyers) and put people in office that cares about our country. All the current US Congress and president want to do is spend more and making our country unsafe. I will cover the spending part first.

But its not all democrats, republicans have done their share too to get us into this situation. It is true the Democrats spent 28% more then the republicans but I’m really tired of either or both sides talking about having a balance budget because over the last 24 years no one has. So all you Newt Gingrich fans, the budget wasn’t balanced when he was leader of the house according to the Treasury Department. You know what that means Democrats, President Clinton didn’t balance the budget either; he didn’t do a real bad job as some others have but still, he didn’t balance the budget. The worse offender is President Obama with $1,510,379,127,618.35 spent on average each year and President G. W. Bush in second place spending $543,818,335,878.19 per year; the best was President Clinton at $201,194,694,295.65 a year but don’t forget, it was still a deficit and not a balance budget. Read below for all the numbers.

We as a Nation over the last 50
years have gutted our Military and the contribution they made to our society. We
have stopped training and giving a good work ethic to our citizens (which is
what happened in the military) and just started giving them handouts to a devastation
effect. We have cut our defense spending by 56.3% which trained our citizens and
started giving away 37.2% of our budget to people who don’t want to work! If
you owned a company would you accept this? No and neither should we as a country.
While China and Russia once
again build up their arsenals we dismantle ours; this is dangerous and puts our
troops, country, and citizens in danger. The stats are below.

If we keep this up there will
be a revolt in this country because the workers will get tired of paying the
way of the lazy then all hell will break loose. I think our leadership knows
this because they have bought most every round of ammo on the market that they
could leaving the citizens with little left. I hope it doesn’t come to this but
as of current the outlook isn’t promising. We need to spend more on Defense and
force these slackers to get a job even if it means in the military. They can
learn a trade and become an asset to our society instead of a deficit. If we
cut defense spending any more, we may not have to worry about it because
someone will take us over. France
and Spain
thought it was impossible, but it happened during WWII. Now we have North Korea detonating
a nuclear bomb; do you feel safer? I don’t!
