Breaking The Bank!

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! Before you close this because you think it's some more bull shit just read!! I'm just a blue collar American that has worked his ass off since he was 13 and is about tired of the crap that is being fed to us out of our Capital. This affects all of us folks!!! In January of 2013 a possible reduction in 1 TRILLION dollars to defense spending could go into effect. Now I am to understand that this is referred to as Sequestration. With the "Super-Committee" failure to reach an agreement then Sequestration would go into effect for these AUTOMATIC cuts. Now let me tell you that I am just a normal blue collar worker from Texas and I wonder just how many Americans even understand Supper Committee's and Sequestration and even know what it means?? Just who will pay for all these Sequestration cuts? Our representatives in Congress? Not thinking that will happen. Ladies and Gentlemen, it will be US, the simple American. We are flooded with figures and numbers at the cost of defense. In 2001 our country was spending 297 billion on defense. By 2011 that had increased to 529 Billion. Wait...that does not include the cost of war. Does that mean that replacement parts and equipment are not figured into that amount? Just wondering! I think that somewhere in the amount of 1.4 TRILLION dollars have been spent in both wars since 2001. Okay, so now the wars are slowly coming to an end so we should be saving more money correct? Well, I think that depends on who you ask! See how I understand it is that the billions in defense spending that has been spent does NOT count towards how much was spent on the wars. Different pots of money. HHmmmmm!!! Whatever! It is still OUR money that is being spent! So does that mean if the wars were completely over we would spend somewhere around 1.4 Trillion in the next 10 years. Sounds logical but the bean counters that play the shell game with our money will tell you other wise. Going back to my simple roots, I have one checking account. That's it!! My mortgage, insurance, food, electric, gas, it ALL comes out of that account. There is NO hidden account to pay the bills. I cant tell my family that we have to cut the budget but not my golf because it comes from different funds. Why are we going to give Afghanistan 2.7 Billion a year? What do we get in return? Some rocks? I don't get it. Lets not even get into the Billions we give to Iraq! Heck....they dont even know what they have done with it. Like pissing in the wind. How much would we be helping our budget if we just stopped giving them a dime? Now, instead of focusing on paying the bills the big America news stations are worried whether or not good ole boy Mitt has made his tax statements public. My wife wont give a rats ass about any of this when she starts having to pay 15 to 20 percent more for groceries as is predicted. But you know, none of this crap affects our representatives in Washington. Unemployment, high grocery and electric bills. It's all about the vote! They try and convince us that they really do care, and maybe some of them do. But put their sorry ass down at your plant and have them shop for their own groceries and see what Americans are really feeling. Not some 15 minute stop where they cant wait to get back into their limo. What a bunch of crap! Truth hurts folks! We as Americans need to understand that this is a political game of chess and we are the pawns. Nothing more, nothing less. Our government cannot get off their ass and work together and the cost of Freedom will suffer. A new aircraft carrier cost 9 billion dollars. That my friends is Freedom. If we dont spend on defense then every piss ass little dog will come and crap in our yard. Who will the Republicans and Democrats blame then?
