  • Your Youtube fans are waiting patiently...

  • Guess what Cenk, you dumbass....BOTH PARTIES are loaded with Wall Street controlled automatons who favor bailing out the banks and any other big corporation that invests in their campaigns.

  • @pretorious700 i agree with you, TYT is a propagandist.

  • TARP and stimulus... same thing.

  • Rush & your tea baggers ride away on your Biblical Extremist high horse & leave the rest of us real Christians alone.

  • Communism and socialism ftw.

    Capitalism speaks for itself ;)

  • capitalism for the poor socialism for the rich

  • It's not Socialism... It's Corporatocracy.

  • thank you, im sick of idiots keep calling it socialism. Its the complete opposite and worse

  • Clever, true.

  • They let people suffer and die for unneccecary profits. That's MURDER!!!

  • I wonder when the conservatives are going to wake up maybe after they lose everything they have and live under bridges and eating out of garbage cans and killing rats so they can feed their kids. These rich basturds want all your money and dont give a damn about you or your family.

  • i wonder when americans will stop voting for republicans and start tos queastion and force elected democrats to do something radical for the people.

  • @disturbed341

    They will be living under bridges and such after liberals steal all their money

  • that would be great!..they deserve to be under a bridge!

  • The republicans shame the name of conservatism. They are sick, twisted fucks.

  • Very true. I'm a Liberal but I continue to tell myself that the level headed Conservatives are NOTHING like these morons.

  • You believe you are so liberal, but you probably deny the Armenian genocide ever happened.

  • The republicans have no values. The only thing the Grand Old Party & the republicans now have in common with the republicans YEARS ago is a name & a "fuck the government" mentality. The GOP are the corporations' pet.

  • "Laugh-Out-Loud" you are SO right on Ghostly...

    & it is SO sad... they have become "The Bought Dogs of the Corporate Pasha's" ... used to be a real 2 party system in this town. I can remember when....

  • @9Ghostly9Fish9 They say they are anti-government. But when they're back in power. They love to force their power.

  • This shows how powerful Greed is.......far worse.

  • He said "pre-bailout".

  • The word "pre-bailout" makes me tingle in my nether regions.

  • gop is full of shit.

  • So the republican wants an AIG for insurance companies?

    evrithing fo the Rich, as long as they can support republicans Death Panel WhackJob like Senator Crasly.

  • DEF: Oligarchy is a form of government in which power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royal, wealth, intellectual, family, military, or religious hegemony. Oligarchies have been tyrannical throughout history, being completely reliant on PUBLIC SERVITUDE to exist.

  • Only problem with that is that its not really the government running things. They are more like speakers for all their defense contractors and big time corporations that give them money.

  • This is not socialism, you know that Cenk. This is oligarchy. The base of all Republicans ideals focus on concentrating wealth in a small, elite few and hoping that the overflow from their cups will 'trickle down' to the masses.

  • This proposal turns my stomach.

  • fucking God Damn republicans...may they rot in hell!

  • Republicans have a bad name now.

    What about Libertarians? Conservatives? Moderates? Centrists?

    These are the forces now aligning against socialism.

  • Thanks for allowing me to do whatever I feel like doing.

    Torch me and I will stuff you up your own butt.

    Zero x zero = zilch

    zilch x zilch = zorch

    zorch = 16 fathoms below whale shit

  • You do a pretty good job ov discrediting yourself, dude.

  • An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity.

    THERE ARE varieties of socialism.

    Some socialists tolerate capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; Others insist on an abolition of private enterprise. All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.

  • The Public (government) option is not a problem. If the dems want to pass it, they can. At their own peril. STFU

  • Chuck Grassly. Hypocrite. So wha?. This is ONE

    person. To extrapolate whatever he said about anything, and I'm not sure what he said, based on this Young Turd's evaluation of what he said,

    really shows how ignorant this site is . Ranting about the alleged comments of one person is one thing, but to extrapolate and suggest that whatever he said has anything to do with the other loser elected reprentatives in our government is just totally stupid.

  • hey zeus! dont make it bad, take a sad song and start it overrrr.

  • Republicans in general are evil people.

    Grassly beats them all. Pure evil.

  • Imagine that.

    False premise in the title of the video.

  • How is a public option for homeowners insurance not socialism? Granted, I'm not qualifying or demonizing socialism. I'm just asking a question.

  • Its better to give to the rich than the poor!

  • Comment removed

  • Privatize profits, socialize losses; it's the Republican way.

  • That's how they ran the war in Iraq.

  • Republicans ought to listen to what Jesus had to say about tax collectors and the rich. Jesus had some choice words about the rich that would make the Christian right cringe and Socialists grin. Hehehe :)

  • And don't forget to blame poor black people (aka ACORN) and illegal immigrants (aka Hispanics)...

  • You hit the nail on the head Kreemie.

  • Typical republican hypocrisy. Unmatched.

  • That's not what reinsurance is. Reinsurance is when a company sells more policies than their cash holdings can secure so they sell policies or portions of policies to another insurer who has cash on hand.

  • tehant1liberal you are a complete idiot if u think that im sorry u really are

  • yes that would be socialism if thats wat was being proposed. now the public option would give u the option and recommend that you consult a doctor about certain things, like end of life treatment(which is 100% your choice and they just feel that u shouldnt have to pay to talk to a doctor about it). abortions would NOT be forced and if u havnt noticed obamas a christians so i dont think hell ask u to surrender ur faith in god. ur an idiot

  • That's parody, right..?

  • Tehantliberal if you talk as good as you write .... nobody listens to you.

  • Wee have socialism for the rich, always did, it is called Bail out! I think Obama did that slready himself...we only have Capitalism for the poor, you fail...oh well, but make no mistake...Bailouts happen under both parties and all presidents...when will you get it?? The dems are just as bad as the pubs...or maybe a bit better....we get a beggin strip with the dems instead of milk bone.....

  • Hmm somehow I think there's more to it than that.

  • I don't know what Grassley is proposing, but reinsurance usually involves taking $ from one insurance company and giving it to another.

  • how simple minded do people have to be not to see the Republicans agenda... the American people are their lil drones to keep the rich rich. The middle class work their ass's off to keep the rich, rich an the poor scare the shit outa the middle class so we just work harder. Making a living for ourselvs an to the republicans almighty God of cpaitalism at the sake of the poor

  • I feel a little like PAUL REVERE must have felt.

    The SOCIALISTS are coming, the SOCIALISTS are coming.

    Stay bogged down in the minutiae of the moment, like in this video, or come to your senses.

    The Obama administration is deliberately systematically destroying the American economy. Why? Because once enough people are on welfare, dependent on government for their paycheck (12 million now on extended unemployment benefits) food, energy, health care , education.

    WE ARE SOCIALIZED.

  • Fuck some people are stupid...

  • Who is your worst enemy?

    Which of Thy Lord's blessings would you deny?

  • woah, Donexodus2!!! lol

  • Y hallo thar

  • It amazes me how idiotic people are. They really shouldn't be allowed procreate.

  • your an idiot.

  • Thats another story, but its a shame you have clearly denied his blessing of intellect.

  • I assume you are against profit for business. If so, then you are also against taxation, since, without profit, there IS no taxation.

    Which leads, of course, to socialism as an alternative to corporate profits, and taxes. So, you are a socialist.

    Now, socialism has been tested in oh so many ways in oh so many places with oh? so devastating results. But, you are stupid, so you are still for socialism anyway.

  • That would be fine. Because if everyone contributed what they could and took only what they needed there would be no need for tax.

  • Socialism fails when the leaders set themselfs above the mass. To say Socialism fails is incorrect, Socialism trives in the US today. Insurance is socialism, the police and courts are socialism, the Milirty is Socialism, Fire Departments, Street Departments, the things that are not done for profit is inshort is done for the betterment of Society. Why is that so bad?

  • "Socialism fails when the leaders set themselfs above the mass."

    Oh, like when the government decides to bailout Bank of America? You are right, Socialism is perfectly flawless in America!

    ... Oh wait...

    Seriously, every example of "Socialism" you gave is contributed by State or local governments (interstates may not be in all honesty).

    Why should we be socialist on a national level and not a state level? After all, the lower the population the more individual representation you get!

  • A perfect example of how conservatives don't want government to help the working class, but, are ready to accept government bailouts of big business, which is also "socialist" by definition. Will the double-standard ever end?

  • People who actually believe the GOP are in their corner are the dumbest low lives ... ever.

  • This is what Repubs are good at.

    They cry "They're going to take away your FREEDOM!" and when they get in they're the most active at taking away freedoms

    They cry "NO TO BIG GOVERNMENT" and when they get in they're notorious for making government even larger.

    They cry "COMMIE LIBS!" but they're the ones actively looking to create communist like governance in America.

    They cry "FAMILY VALUES AND FINANCIAL CONSERVATISM" but they fuck like rabbits and spend the most of wasteful shit.

  • I assume you are against profit for business. If so, then you are also against taxation, since, without profit, there IS no taxation.

    Which leads, of course, to socialism as an alternative to corporate profits, and taxes. So, you are a socialist.

    Now, socialism has been tested in oh so many ways in oh so many places with oh so devastating results. But, you are stupid, so you are still for socialism anyway.

  • I was going to rely properly to your post when in reading it in it's entity I see it would be pointless cause is obvious the word Socialism is a sensational word, something you just heard of last year from your Cronie leaders of Rush, Glen & Hannity.

    I'll just let Dogs lie.

  • GOP = Hypocrite, one of the few rules that does not have a single exception. I challenge any of this brain trust of trolls to give one example of an exception to this rule.

  • So true. So sadly true. But people still buy into it. Very, very sad.

  • There is nothign wrong with earning money.

    No matter how much.

    If someone earns a billion a month, I dont care. Im jealous sure, but I dont care... IF THEY EARNED IT!

    But the money these people have, they dont deserve it at all, they have run their companies into the ground, andbeen given bailout money, and even withotu the bailout money, they were still giving themselves stupid sums of money, they are simply legalised crooks.

  • This is outrageous!! The rich have access to the best of the best, because they buy out politicians! What happened to the idea that America is the land of opportunities? Bullshit!! Also, can´t we call the bailouts socialism? If you think about, the US gov´t has nationalized some 80plus banks last year. That´s wrong. IT´s time for a real change!

  • Although this guy apparently has a very wrong idea to how socialism works he makes good point and Im not even surprised anymore what the people in the US congress comes up with to make the rich even richer.

  • let's face it: private insurance companies have failed because they were just to eager to rip off everyone (making even maximum gains when the rest of the world is struggling with recession). How can anyone defend these moneygrubbing insurance companies??? Unless of course they are paid to do so...

  • Classic Republican party. Total hipocrisy. Favoring big business at the expense of the common people.

  • fuck the club for growth!

  • "GOP Senator Pushes for Socialism For The Rich" WTF????? Dude this channel is as fucking fake as it gets. Jesus fucking christ, How many lemmings believe this bull????? Since progressives have been labeled as favorting socialism Cenk or Jank tries to makes a fraudulent claim. I lose more respect every day. Totally partisan piles of horse shit. Yet whats more interesting is the people that actually believe this mess. No wonder there are so many fucking retards in the world today.

  • noone listens to you because you just insult and dont put forth a valid argument . Cenk uses facts , your just a nobody.

  • It's clear through reading your comment, that you're an emotionally charged individual. Try taking a deep-breath once and a while.

    This show is pretty moderate. It only looks extremely liberal when compared to fascism.

  • People compare Bush to Hitler, people compare Obama to Hitler, Until one of them is guilty of exterminating 6,000,000 people for the reason of unwanted genes, stop bitching.

  • straight up!

  • thats how i see it. i mean i hated bush as much as anyone but when people made that connection i always thought that shit was ridiculous.

  • I wouldn't throw the word fascism out there freely without truely knowing it's definition.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always understood fascism to be idea that the strongest will survive, and when applied economically it is GREAT for those who survive.

    And so, those who control the flow of money can justify the means of keeping that control through this philosophy.

    And, I must say, I see an awful lot of that when I look at American business today.

    TYT talks about how to negate that philosophy, while others believe that makes this show and its viewers "fucking retards."

  • Can you argue with anything that was said? The points made are valid and true. Shut you fuck hole if you can't even try to debate the issues.

  • Is this a surprise at all? We've had a long-standing tradition of government aid for the rich in the US; from mercantilist protectionism, to modern forced globalization via military coercion. Let's not forget the subsidies, tax breaks, allowing drilling and logging on public lands, cost-plus contracts, military-industrial ties, funding for chemical research, past bailouts and loans, no-bid contracts, and other corporate welfare along the way. A 'free market', this is not.

  • They're braken about it because they know you Americans are brain dead sheep.

  • We the People should be replaced with We the Elite.

  • i heard that most of the senates in the white house own stocks in private insurances companies. tell me if this is true?

  • foecunditatis

    I was curious about this. Seems as though this would be bad for private ins companies.....because they may actually have to start covering peoples bills. Who do Priv ins co's back? I t seems as though it would obviously be the conserv party, but I could be wrong. Anyone know for sure?

  • we've always had socialism for the rich in this country -- even before the "bailouts". that's why the people's money is taxed to build sports stadiums that are privately owned, for example (and there are many more policies like this that "socialize" the cost, but privatize the profits).

  • I feel a little like PAUL REVERE must have felt.

    The SOCIALISTS are coming, the SOCIALISTS are coming.

    Stay bogged down in the minutiae of the moment, like in this video, or come to your senses.

    The Obama administration is deliberately systematically destroying the American economy. Why? Because once enough people are on welfare, dependent on government for their paycheck (12 million now on extended unemployment benefits) food, energy, health care , education.

    WE ARE SOCIALIZED.

  • What's wrong with socialism? Capitalism caused your recession and job loss... Of course when jobs are lost, people seek money from the government for welfare. What part of this flow of logic do you not get.

  • There is something wrong with socialism (pure form), is does not work (ala DDR). But we have not practiced Capitalism since probably '67 but more probably '78 - we have crony capitalism - a bastardized version of capitalism - most easily described as a corporate welfare system.

  • I like to point out that it was capitalism that generated those jobs in the first place.

  • Bush destroyed the economy by deregulating the load market, creating the housing bubble, and then pumping ever last possible cent into war funding. Obama now has the lofty task of cleaning up Bush's fuck ups. Which include stripping american citizens of constitutional rights.

  • That dumbass that came up with this idea should be hanged. (the senator)

    No wonder why the U.S. is a finished country. Too many assholes with one agenda, their own. Get a shovel and start digging, it's over for America.

  • grassley is an illegal alien. you've seen him right? grey, pastey, big eyes, acts real weird, people of the corn and all that.

  • Once again typical republican bullshit for a typical republican

  • i want to comb your hair and play with your pee pee

  • I live in the UK.

    We pay tax on everything, what we earn, what we pay for and we pay more than any other country and I m 39 and already, I have paid out more in taxes than the average American pays in their entire life.

    However, having needed to use the NHS, I can also safely say that I would never swap our health care system for that in the US... NEVER!

    Pay to have a broken bone fixed? are you stupid? Oh right, you are!

    We pay for our health care - its called N.I contributions and its too low

  • In the UK you may pay more taxes directly to the government, but in the US, on top of taxes we also have a HIDDEN tax paid directly to insurance companies. If you add our taxes plus our hidden taxes, we actually pay more than you do in the UK.

    Just a thought.

  • Thats absolutely untrue.

    Everythign we earn and everythign we buy gets taxed.

    Take one simplt thing... The car.

    We buy it, and we have to pay tax on it. We also have to pay the sales tax on it.

    We have to tax it every year to allow us to use it on the road ( Road Tax ) our fuel is taxed to teh hilt, it costs us £1.10p per litre so thats £5.50 per gallon, and the US gallon is smaller than the UK gallon so our fuel alone is twice as much as yours is, and insurance for the car is taxed too!

  • Also, the poorest US Citizens paid 4.3% tax while the rihest paid out a whopping 25.5%

    However in the UK, the poorest paid out 36.5% and the richest got away with a little less and paid out 35.5%

    To even try to think that the people of the US even come close to what we pay, is a ludicrous and prepostorous idea that shows a lack of understanding of other countries.

    Why do you think taht the UK is still a fairly powerful player in spite of its tiny size?

    The effing people pay so much tax!

  • a Tax cut can be counter productive. I would rather pay 15% more if it's help my neighbor to get his hearth transplant surgery for free ( which is most of private ins won't cover ).

  • As US citizen, I would LOVE to pay higher taxes if I got something for it (Health care, College Education...) instead of using my money to bail out the CEOs of the banks who fucked over the WORLD MARKET in the first place.

  • hi plz notice abc TV admit bais media they say %80 of american want them to be bais see it ur self

  • hi plz notice abc TV admit bais media they say %80 of american want them to be bais see it ur self.

  • Pure conjecture.

  • Death panels, Socialism, Obama is a Nazi, etc etc etc.

    The list goes on and on. anyways:

    Proposing THIS on the other hand, isn't conjecture at all. Given the opportunity, Insurance companies WILL take that opportunity to reimburse themselves.

    You'd be stupid to think otherwise.

  • Comment removed

  • you have a computer and your calling me stupid rofl

  • @ heisenbergSleptHere:

    Republicans should see it as their sacred duty to be uncorrupted, top notch leaders in order to prevent socialism. Not scream about the evils of the red menace after they've been voted out of power due to their incompetence and corruption.

    America deserves better than the false choice between Socialism and corrupt Neocon Republicans who proved they sucked at leading America when they had their chance.

  • The last time I checked the unregulated capitalist economy has failed. Regulation over private industry such as banks for example isn't socialism, it's a form of an intelligent system of checks and balances. I think it's clear that you are still employed otherwise you would be collecting from the very socialist program that you have condemned. Apparently you feel that this country should function like a 3rd world shit hole for the benefit of the rich while the working class and poor eat shit.

  • Unregulated capitalism has failed multiple times, but to be fair, entirely Marxist systems have totally failed as well. You would think that after a century of watching these ideologies fail, we'd realize that a social democratic system focused on balanced regulation and common sense, and learning from past mistakes instead of clinging to outdated dogma

  • you IDIOT you don't even know the difference between 'won' and the homophone 'one' its a first grade concept. And fyi Karl Marx is the founder of Communism NOT Socialism, they're different. Do some research. Socialist countries, most notably in Western Europe, (France, Germany) etc. Have a stronger central government than ours, the government control keeps order more efficently with slightly less independence as consequence. BUT France and germany have the top healthcare in the world so shut up.

  • In which administration did this meltdown occur?

    2003 Greenspan cures recession with low interest rates. 2004 Paulson gets 30-1 risk reserves.

    2005-Spitzer forces AIG CEO Greenberg to resign due to massive fraud.

    2006-Paulson appointed to Treas.

    2008 Casano of AIG brings US/world economy down.

    Fed Chair Greenspan & Cheney were good friends.

    The Fed Reserve was never independent. Greenspan

    did what Cheney wanted. 2 OFF BUDGET WARS+low interst+dereg+tax cuts=credit based growth=meltdown

  • More simpler then that, you do not have to talk technically about the war...

    Big public budget deficit= Big dispense for any reason.

    Low interest= More credit taken=more personal dispense

    More governement dispense+more personal dispense=inflation+less placement = meltdown.

    But, big military budget= people who have placement in the military complex (include gun industry) making more money.

    Meltdown= Gun industry making money because of pussy and suicide.

  • corporatism ftl

  • lol

  • wow bush has pictures with his arms around osama bin laden bush set up al qaeda camps and trained him how to use explosives and heavy artillery and joe wilson made 2 million in 6 days for saying you lie and fox put up a news graphic that said that egypt was where iran was so shut the fuck up ya hick

  • The poe is strong in you....

  • GTFO crackpot.

  • Sounds like the American way. Help the rich, screw the poor.

  • Those motherfuckers. I can't believe this. I just can't believe this. Ughhhh.

  • nothing wrong with religion, it's when you twist it & manipulate it for your own sickening moralities. against abortion but support the death penalty & support war w/o a justified cause

  • I think there's something wrong with religion because it suppresses the impulse towards critical thinking. It turns blind faith into a virtue and that's what makes people malleable for the abusive types you mention.

    Sure if everyone followed the golden rules of (most) religion (be nice to everyone and share the wealth) it'd be great. But religion is not used that way in 99.9% of all cases.

  • relligion is not really religion at all god wouldnt want us separated into groups and only help people in the same group

  • How do you know what God wants?

  • God, Allah, manifests itself every day If you look you will find a sign that is there for all to see. All who look, find. God let's you know not what you want, but what is available to you.

  • That still doesn't tell me how you religious folks all claim to know what He wants. The people who hate homosexuals also say they know what he wants. The folks who think racism is God's will also think they know what He wants.

    I wish people would just keep their religion to themselves and stop burdening the rest of us with their personal interpretation.

  • If you have never looked for a manifestation of the creator, then you have probably never looked. Never expected. Never hoped. Never dreamed.

  • Oh I've looked. But I haven't looked while "hoping". If you look while "hoping" most likely you'll find what you're looking for. Like those folks who think God wants them to murder. They found exactly the God they were hoping for. Our primitive monkey brain just works that way.

    Thing is if you look at the ancient texts while not "hoping", you can see what they really say. And what they say is largely non-sense with some good advice thrown in here and there.

  • Your obsession with proving there is no God is consuming you now. You have plenty of hope you are brimming with optimism that you can prove there is no God.I may try too, if I were gay. After all, most all religions condemn you to Tatarus, where you will writhe in agony for all eternity.Who is your worst enemy? (YOU!! YOURSELF). Read Jesus teachings as if he were an atheist. Most atheists agree with his zeitgeist. Mohammed said "Which of Thy Lord's blessings would you deny"?

  • Yes, you're right. Christ was a great teacher.

    However, what most people like yourself fail to acknowledge are his basic teachings.

    Love thy neighbour.

    Treat the lowest amongst you as you would treat me.

    Tolerance.

    Start practicing those principles and people may take you seriously.

    Until then, don't expect any sympathy for your "religion".

  • There are many destructive things religions are against. Tolerance for sinful behavior is one of them Shalt not kill Shalt not covet Shalt not steal Shalt not lie Shalt not lie Honor Code is deriven from these principles. No lying, no stealing, no cheating, and NO TOLERANCE for those that do. All crime is a form of theft. If you steal yourself even, if you don't know who your worst enemy is, but blame others for your Fodforsaken life. Then, I guess, you will suffer endless pain in Tatarus.
  • yes and how often have theylived up to any of those lofty morals

    NEVER

  • Moslems Christians Jews Hindus Buddhists Janes don't ask for and don't need and don't want your sympathy.

    It is YOU asking for sympathy from them.

    If you believe in evolution, straighten up and fly right.

  • Obsession? Why are you so obsessed with proving something no one could ever prove?

    I don't deny anything the universe gives me, I love my family and my life. The universe is marvelous and think about that daily. The idea of some god hanging around adds nothing to that. In fact it's so much more amazing when you know the actual science behind it.

    My worst enemy are people who tell me I that I deserve to be tortured for eternity if I do not believe what they choose to believe, that's crazy talk.

  • One definition of religion goes like this:

    Does this describe you? A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion

  • GOP doesn't know anything.  Religious morons.

  • Its already happening right now.

  • Don't these people know that once these corporations get so rich they won't need the government politicians that they can run for office themselves?

  • US will spend $2.5 trillion this year alone while leaving 45 million uninsured. The problem is not the money its how its being used. With that kind of money you could cover everybody 2x over.

  • Republicans love funding Defense for some reason...if I was Obama, I would disarm our nuclear weapons

  • That's because that's what the Federal government is SUPPOSED to do. Protect us, Keep our roads and bridges running, and educate our children. Not wipe our asses and support us from cradle to grave. I cannot understand how we elected someone with 0 military and foreign policy experience when that is the #1 job of the president. Commander In Cheif of the military.

  • It's kind of hilarious that we elected George W. Bush.

  • I totally agree. I'm not a republican robot.

  • I would say that looking to his or her own country would be the main job of the united states president, not being the commander of the military.

  • Where your heart is...determines where your wallet is.

    This is why the US spends more on the military+homeland security and weapons then anything else.

  • True, true. But there's still one thing: why did i get thumbed down!?

  • But an army the size of the US's is not required. And what good is it to spend trillions to defend your country if it's not worth living in? That;s the direction the US is heading in, and if healthcare reform gets shot down it'll be a sign that Americans really don't care about their own best interests.

  • I'm an American and I'm pissed that you're right.

  • it's been made blatantly obvious that most Americans don't even know what is in their best interests, much less care about it.

  • lol so true

  • true, they are identified as republicans.

  • Like Bush?

    As for keeping roads and education and bridegs running. This is where your government for the past 30 years is failing. The "protection" part is correct with the exception of 9-11....

    Saying this, look where most of "tax payer" money goes. It sure the heck aint going most towards those roads and education and brides...unless those are military related.
