Cut This

Listening to the republicans bull droppings, I can see they are only looking out for the rich and themselves. They are looking out for companies that pollute and make the world a worse place in the pursuit of money. Corporate farmers giving them large subsidies to not grow or compensate their ability to compete with other countries. They don't cut those programs but cut programs that help the poor and almost poor people. If congress and the senate wanted to do something that shows leadership they should cut there retirement programs. They should pay for their own health care just like anyone else or a large portion of it. Out of anyone working in America congress and the senate get the best benefits while everyone else's is being cut. People in congress and the senate are rich to start with. They don't need any help or all the perks they get. With all the things the republicans are doing to labor they are going to produce people that aren't going to be able to make anything. They keep cutting school support. They cut aid to people to go to college. They keep pushing the bible on people so no real science will be done in the future. All the promises our government made has changed their minds saying it's going to cost to much. It looks like they want to take the country back to the 1800's where there wasn't any health care and people died young. People back then were disposable at least that's what the rich people thought. It was the unions that made this country strong and gave use the middle class. If the republicans could they would make savory legal again. They are doing everything they can to destroy the unions. They are working on cutting peoples standard of living. Right now Bush keeps saying that the economy is doing so great, the best ever. Then why do they need to cut social programs.
 
Bush has got this anti-missile program going when he first took office. Nothing to do with terrorism. After 9/11 he kept bringing up the fact of rouge states. So far this program doesn't work. They started making installation in Alaska saying that they will work out the bugs as they go. Out of all the test shots, not one missile was shot down even when it was told where the incoming missile was coming from. The total cost of this project is going to be over a trillion dollars. If one project need to be cut back this is one that need it. If they could start proving the program works then they should go ahead with funding but not before. From working with the Department of Defense I found that there is a lot of things done to help out areas or people in developing these projects. I bet you anything that is it was looked into many officials are getting some sort of kick back in some manor.
 
Looking at it from the prospective that not cutting social programs would cut crime because people wouldn't have to steal or sell drugs to make ends meet. When people can go to school to make a decent living they wouldn't have to turn to crime. When it comes to crime our government is such a bad example for people. They are always getting caught in some scandal where they were cheating on some on. The idea that some corporation can go into bankruptcy and not take responsibility for it is just outrageous. If an airlines in going down the tubes there shouldn't be anyway the government should be bailing them out. Sell a few of those airplanes to pay off the debts you owe.
