Did you know that the reason Social Security is always on the precipice of destruction is because our government has been borrowing money from it and not paying back the loan?

Nice bit of information, right?

How about, President Obama is pouring money into creating light-rail lines, all the while ending funding for NASA’s moon exploration AND pulling funding for the 2,000 mile border fence?

So, apparently, new technology is more important than the trillions we have invested in NASA.

I have multiple points about border security.  We spend billions of dollars a year housing illegal aliens, arresting them, paying their medical bills, etc.  We finally come up with an idea to slow down the flow, in addition to adding jobs, and President Obama decided this wasn’t a viable option for his budget.

On top of that, we get terrorist threats all of the time.  Why would we want to increase security at our borders?  I guess we tax payers are expendable!

Now, I haven’t gone through President Obama’s entire budget, but if these few tidbits are any inclination, it’s just further proof that our government is blinded by their special interests and power trips.

The biggest messed up point is that we already have over a trillion dollar deficit.  How is a light rail system worth putting us more in debt?  Shouldn’t our government, the people we’ve elected to act in our best interests, cut out special interests in the interest of saving a buck?  Isn’t this overzealous spending and greed what got us into this recession to begin with?

In the interest of jobs, we’re over 10% for unemployment, so cutting NASA funding means cutting jobs.  Cutting the border fence means cutting potential jobs.

Did I mention that the money ear-marked for light rail is only to get the projects STARTED?  So, our government will have to provide more funding down the line.

Am I the only one is completely frustrated by this whole process?  What the ***** are these people thinking?  They are the destruction of this country!!!!  Doesn’t anyone have some inkling of common sense??!!!!

I need to go do my homework.  It’s a great way of staying away from this absolutely infuriating nonsense!
