The news site all refer back to Paul’s sites, that is what I was saying.
I never said any of the candidates were like the Founders, Paul is the farthest away.
So what about the defense budget, one of the few rolls of the federal government is to defend the shores (whatever that may mean).
It is welfare that is killing us, with the total around 60% of the budget.
You obviously do not click on hyper links.
The last link in previous post with the budget does not support your claim.
60% of the budget is not welfare. LOL!
20% is Defense (over 2 Trillion Dollars)
20% is Social Security (We pay that through work so it’s not welfare)
23% is Medicaid (We pay that through work so it’s not welfare)
So there is your 60%.
Here is the link again.

Three items:
LOL is not a real word.
wikipedia - seriously?
I should have not used the word welfare but should have used entitlements.
From the governments own web site (2011 budget)
defense 15%
Three items
1) LOL is now considered a word

2) Wikipedia sourced the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Please link your federal link that has a 5% discrepancy.

Have a nice evening, I am done with this.
Whoa! Somehow I missed this one!
Yay!! I knew it was only a matter of time before this one got it. :)
I’m on their zot ping lists, I see they apparently didn’t get to it, so that’s probably why. :)
