    Careful...the older I get, the less "life sentence" is a deterrent.

    A Billion here, a billion there, and it quickly adds up to some real money!
    Yes a good start.

    This is # 3000, is there a T-shirt for that?
    My bad, that got cut from the budget.
    OK that works for me.

    "Housing and Urban Development — $4.123 billion"

    This is a beautiful thing for normal tax paying caucasians, no more down your throat DIEversity and forced neighborhood destruction.

    It's an absolutely disgusting thought that people can go out work hard, purchase a nice property in a nice neighborhood, pay way too much in taxes. Then they wake up one morning to realize that those tax dollars paid are being used in a full frontal assault on that once wonderful neighborhod as a half dozen, welfare entitled, non employable homies and another half dozen of their ghetto buddies are now living fifty feet out the front door in the once really nice house next door. The really shocking moment is when you realize the new neighborly section 8 property has now just sucked out $75000 in value from your property and they used the taxes you paid to fund it.

    Along with the Student Loan scam, this "forced" integration of caucasian neighborhoods is one of the biggest screw jobs piled upon hard working tax paying citizens, bureacrats should swing for **** like this...

    Yahoo!!! The Rural Water and Waste Disposal funds were recently utilized by my township to extend sewage lines and treatment facilities far beyond what this poor rural township will see in development for 30 years. Their next leg would send it off the main road down several side roads, including mine, forcing hook up fees and sewer bills on residents.
    But what weapons can you use to dispossess someone who will not accept anything except Holy Scripture interpreted according to his own rules?...Where Lutheranism reigns, learning dies. They seek only two things: good pay and a wife. The gospel offers them the rest — that is, the power of living as they please.

    I understand now how Arius and Tertullian and Wickliff were driven into schism by malicious clergy and wicked monks.

    This happened to us. We moved into a nice up scale neighborhood, lovely yard, lanai, pool, etc. Then came a younger black couple that moved in. Couple houses away. They were very nice, no kids, no problems. THEN a black family moved in and pretty soon we found ourselves in a black area and the neighborhood was going to hell and there were break ins, and sirens, and.... We moved way out into the boonies and house sits in the middle of 5 acres far off the road and a gate at the road. Would have been prefectly happy with blacks living by us, but the neighborhood turns into the "hood". PS: the original black couple soon moved out too.

    I'm all for the cuts but then we increase military spending by 50+ billion to over 800 billion... Seems to me like there could be some waste in there. Meanwhile We are begging our euro counterparts to spend more than 2% of their budget on defense while we spend 30%.
