    $37 billion here, $122 billion there.... But, we have to cut programs like welfare which costs only about $1 or 2 billion.

    That's because the people on those programs don't generally vote Republican.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Uhhh, in which country? Certainly not this one.

    Food stamps (SNAP) alone was 78 billion in FY2011, according to the CBO. TANF was about 33.3 billion. This includes cash payments and services for welfare clients. It is true though that the cash portion is rather small but it's not 1-2 billion. It's more than that.

    Both SNAP and TANF cost less than a non-existent engine, for a non-existent airplane, that the airforce doesn't even want.

    Yeah but your $1 billion claim is still bullshit.

    The same holds true for republicans and a wide range of information sources found across the media representing the extreme republican right and sometimes the left as well. The real issue is that both parties suck, perhaps one more than another, but both are beholden to special interests, I wish people would stop defending "brands", i.e right versus left, dems versus repubs, and start focusing on real issues that affect Americans along with other s throughout the world. Needed change is never going to come from voting for either of the two major parties.

    Let's watch the name calling. Poopyhead would be a more PC response.

    Easy to say, but do you care to back that up with something more than rhetoric?
