Submit your idea for cutting spending in the federal government. I'm sure this place can come up with some DUzys. :)

Perfect example of RW bullshit!..
All the dumbshits will say "Cut Foreign Aid" figuring they can save Trillions. "Cut Welfare"... now there's a huge saving. "Cut wasteful spending"... and they don't mean the Pentagon.
Those poor assholes don't know how much we spend on anything.

Shit like this keeps the dimwitted base all riled up about how they're getting fucked by the hippies and the socialists and the liberals. Meanwhile the banksters and brokesters have 'em by the short and curlies and they don't even know it.

2. Corn, wheat, soybean, and cotton "subsidies" - 30% of DoD- all money that pays for foreign military
that is my suggestion

4. I sent them this
No state shall be able to receive more funds from the federal government than the amount of revenue donated to the federal government from that state, with the exception of disaster relief.






I would love to see how all the red states who live off the money filtered to them from blue states will react to that. Please note, this is an anti Pork Barrel Spending idea. I would never suggest cutting programs that people actually need.
