Not funny at all. As we ask for fur lows for government employees the same week were dishing billions to countries that hate us. And giving them fighter jets. OMG I just puked in my mouth. Makes me sick.
Pull up the budget some time and look at where the money is being spent. Between welfare and aid to foreign governments, we spend more on welfare, but if you look at the middle east, we give billions to Israel every year and then millions to the countries around it. The money we are giving to many of those countries is so they won't attack Israel. Personally, I'd like to see us return to the "isolationism" that was prevalent before WWII.
