Our priorities are backwards.. (none / 0)

Look at this graphic of (Democrat approved) Federal spending (from 2002) and you'll get the idea..

federal spending priorities breakdown graphic

If the Dems stopped acting like the GOP, then they would inspire more enthusiasm from the people who actually pay these taxes.. (instead of using tax loopholes to escape them..)

And die in the wars.. etc.. (often, desperately trying to get the money to afford college..)

Wouldn't it be nice if some of the money we are now spending on no-bid contracts could pay for college for all Americans who want to go?

Or is that asking too much from the 'richest country in the world' (which can't even seem to afford basic healthcare for its citizens)
