[QUOTE="athena, post: 209162, member: 9953"] Just some numbers to focus on for a moment. These are federal estimates based on previous years spending. You can look them up online b/c they are mandated to be open to the public. (gpoaccess.gov) Department of Defense estimated to spend for 2007 around [B]504 billion dollars[/B] for things like military personnel, procurement, operations and maintenance, family housing, research and development, etc. (these are the big ones) Department of Health and Human Services estimated to spend for 2007 around [B]697 billion dollars[/B] (this is the one welfare falls under BUT.... so does the CDC, National Institute of Health, FDA, Medicaid, Medicare, Indian Health Services, Admin on Aging, etc.) [B]204 Billion dollars[/B] of the 697 billion estimated to be spent on medicaid which covers mostly children and pregnant women Office of Homeland Security estimated to spend for 2007 [B]43 billion[/B] for flood insurance, preparedness, FEMA (that is some money well spent! :tongue_sm) US Secret Service, Citizen immigration Services etc. Oh and just for the roads comment DOT estimated to spend [B]65 billion dollars[/B] on railroads, highways, transit systems, aviation, etc. (keep in mind, most of these systems have private companies invested in the upkeep so I am sure the govt doesn't even foot the whole bill). Now, I am sure these numbers make perfect sense and by reducing the money going to welfare (more specifically food stamps) it will make a HUGE difference! I even bet the money will go to the Education Department which FYI is estimated to spend [B]192 billion dollars[/B] for elementary, high school, and secondary education (which includes the student loans that will be paid back) So, obviously we have run rampant with the welfare system. The rest of these expenses "your" money has been spent on make perfect sense and you should only concern yourself with the lady who bought cigs and lotto tickets. Forget about the war on terrorism! That is a great way to spend billions of dollars! [/QUOTE]
