Why are we bankrupt?

WHY ARE WE BANKRUPT?


You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:


Boy, was I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.

Are we THAT stupid?
 
Do other countries have illegal aliens? Are we that stupid? We, unfortunately can't do much about things that are just done. That is what's stupid. I'm ehausted of a lot of things about how it's done here.
 
And the sh!tty thing is, no matter how much we complain about it, it will probably never change. All those percentages and people getting the free handouts are the ones voting these politicians into office, and as long as they are getting the votes from them the more they will keep handing out. Screws the working man over.

I spent some time in Italy. They are not sensitive about their policies. The Police walk around the streets in some cases with sub-machine guns, and when they ask you for your doccuments, you had better produce them. When someone moves from one city to another, they have to get permission to be there.

I get quite tired of hearing about racial profiling. Look at it this way:

If a White Male robs a bank. The authorities look for a white male. That is profiling, but it is not wrong.

If Arobic people are known to blow up airplanes, then why do we have to search a 90 year old white woman for a bomb?

and if we have a car full of kids in the inner city who are all black, but they are acting in a manner that is suspiscious, then is it profiling to pull them over? I don't think so.

If the population is predominantly one race, or another, and that race is seemingly being targeted more than others by police, then is it profiling, or just odds?

and further more, if you are in a city which is known to have a large population of illegal immigrants, and we know the race of the majority of these illegal immigrants, then is it profiling to check them out? Yes it is, but is it the wrong thing to do? NO; They are breaking a law...

Personal example:
One night (about 20 or so years ago) I was driving home from a night on the town, and I passed a dunkin doughnuts that had a lot of police around it. I looked over because they had their lights flashing, and they all tore out of there, and pulled me over. They all had their guns drawn, and they searched me, searched my car, and detained and questioned me. come to find out, I fit the description of the man who robbed them, and I happened to be in the area. Was that profiling? Heck yes it was, but they did what they had to do...

...and you aren't even taking into factor the lazy generational welfare recipients and all the numerous NUMEROUS welfare cheats! That is a HUGE cost to taxpayers....the losers that won't get a job, they wouldn't work if you took them to work in a limo and offered them steak and lobster for lunch!!!!
 
.....That is a very sore subject as well. It should be like unemployment, they should have to make an effort at trying to find a job and not be able to sit on the a$$'s and collect a paycheck espeacially a paycheck that the working man has to pay for. There should be guide lines.......Drug tests and if you fail you shouldn't be allowed to collect. There is NO reason why they are unable to work they just choose not to, and by allowing them to bring their kids up in the same enviroment they are only teaching them to be the same.

hell ya brotha! I see this everyday in my profession! I see druggies/criminals collecting SSI for some BS disability, collecting food stamps, getting 100 percent medical paid for (I don't f*cking get that!) and government paid housing! Taxpayers don't have a clue how much of their hard earned money goes to pay for this BS!

This is a huge plague of our nation...these parasites are destroying our nation and my grandfather's hard work! Each generation gets lazier and lazier....we are in big trouble! About 6 months ago some meth head welfare recipient told me it was her right to get welfare and SSI!!!!!! WTF!!!!!??????

To me those piece of crap drugy's don't have rights....neither should the welfare scum sitting around getting fat off our well earned money. They shouldn't be allowed to vote for the damn politicians that promise them the handouts that they are recieving, that should be OUR decision. As far as each generation getting lazier that is true in so many ways, I'm only 23 and working my butt off to try and get myself ahead in life. I just don't get their mentality and I'm not saying all of my generation is that way, there are a lot of kids just like me working hard, I like to have nice trucks and play toys so, I can't justify myself sitting around doing nothing. It makes me feel good when I go to the bank to cash a check that I had to actually work for.

Your a stud! ...and Sno Fox you are SO right! We are already past the point of no return regarding socialism!
 
Just think, The money we could be saving could be going in for a planned snowmobile trip with friends or family vacations, I can think of plenty places I would like to go sledding out of state and the flip side would be that we would still be pumping money into the economy. Why should they benefit the rewards, I would like to use my cash to reward myself, not to pay for welfare or support the inmates in jail, hell let'em starve. The list just goes on and on.
 
We need MANDATORY drug tests to collect any kind of social services. Not to mention proof of American citizenship. I have to pass random tests to maintain my employment, why should'nt they have to to collect on my tax money?

You're my long lost brother! You is the SH*T!!!! How did you get so intelligent for only being 23! ;):beer;:beer;
 
The solution is very simple.
E-verify and the Save act.
The problem.
Nancy Palosi.
She has blocked every bit of legislation dealing with the invasion of illigals.
She has vowed to put a stop to work place immigration enforcement and grant amnesty to illigals.

Heres the rub.
You think we have a problem now?
Not even close.
Under current immigration law if you get your green card or american citizenship you can then sponcer others to come here. If they have a blood tie at all, they can be brought in and not counted towards the 114,000 immigrants that come here legally each MONTH.

So, you have a husband and wife. Average mexican family has 3 kids.
So you have 5.
Now, they bring in the parents of each adult.
Now you have 9.
each adult brings in their parents.
Now you have 17.
They also bring in their sisters and brothers.
now you have 21
Who in turn bring in their families (husbands, wifes, childeren)
Now you have 34.
Those families get to bring in their parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and thier childeren.
Now you have over 100.
But you only granted amnesty to 5.

Take those numbers and start with 12 MILLION instead of 5.
It's called chain migration and it is destroying this country.

Go to Numbers USA and join. It's free and it will give you a chance to contact your senators and congressman and will keep you informed when they are about to do something stupid.

Stand by.
Amnesty is top of the dems priority list.
 
I wonder how much profit was made by companies hiring illegal immigrants rather then paying for legal US labor...
 
Here is the problem as I see it.
Say you had a country with 100 people in it and all are working, paying taxes, etc - all is good.
Now 5 of these can't work, so the other 95 agree to help out - all is still ok.
Next, 5 people see these 5 not working and decide they deserve some time off.
Over time some people die, some are born. Those 10 people not working have nothing better to do than breed and it costs them nothing, so why not?
Eventually the non workers will out number the workers. Once this happens they can vote for more entitlements and higher taxes for the working people. This eliminates the incentive to work, creating more dependant people. Eventually the last working man will say "screw it" then the country is done.
If you add an axtra 50 illegals it just makes the inevitable come sooner.
What I don't understand is how a person can be happy with what others hand out. I guess I'm too greedy for welfare.

I agree.

our country is all about taking the incentive to work away. look at the handouts we give to all the above mentioned, and now it includes big business. the only two ways to succeed here is to kick butt at business or fail miserably.

that sucks.
