"What Would Jesus Cut?" by Old Fart Rants

Since the year 2000, the Pentagon's budget has cost us almost 6 trillion dollars. And thanks to George Bush and Dick Cheney lying us into the never ending war on terror, we've spent another 2.5 trillion killing innocent people overseas for no good reason... except to make contractors like Halliburton rich. Re-building the stuff we blew up while we neglect our own infrastructure back home. $795 billion a year is over 2 billion dollars a day. Over 90 million an hour! Over 1.5 million a minute! Over $25,000 a second! Just in the time it took you to read these numbers, we just spent another $500,000 on defense. And $200,000 of it was just for Iraq & Afghanistan! And we're still not safe - they still have to stick their hands down our pants at the airport! WTF? So - what would Jesus cut to help solve our budget problems? Compassion and care for the lesser among us - the poor, the sick and the elderly? While not asking the more fortunate among us who can afford it to pitch in to help? Or would he cut the $25,000 a second we've been spending to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people with for 10 years straight?

@mainestategop Well we finally agree on something! Awesome.

[mainestategop]

As a conservative libertarian Im all for cutting the pentagon budget and getting out of this stupid war. Not to mention cutting the TSA and this other BS.

Let the other countries fix themselves.

WELL DONE OLD FART! GOLD STAR!

The American President scince the death of the JFK has always been an NWO pupet ,,,

Where have you been all my life? That was the most lucid, intelligent response to these crazy teabag right wing Republicans. Occupy Everywhere is here to stay and its long overdue.

Jesus said that the poor will always be with us. Jesus would rather see poor American school children starve to death rather than have the Koch Brothers pay a nickle in taxes!

[M0US3P0T4TO]

We need a president with a set of balls. Someone so radical that, if he can't get congress to end the wars, he just gets on the airwaves and tells all the soldiers to get home any way they can and meet him at the white house immediately for a presidential pardon. It seems like that's the only way to end this madness.

Oh yeah I forgot... Ron Paul 2012... oldfart for VP ;)

@oldfartrants

Aggre with a lot of what you say, but the supercommitte wasn't really created by the teaparty.

That's about as much truth as "Ron Paul is the grandfather of the Tea Party" or "Michele Bachmann: Tea Party Favourite!". The media truly dumbs people down...
