see how they are spending our money
How much money does Washington spend annually maintaining unused or vacant federal properties? (Choose one.)
It’s the answer with the “B”—$25 BILLION every year and growing. These are not national parks, but property sitting idle with no immediate positive benefit to the public. Yet we are pouring $25 billion into maintaining them through federal employees and contractors. Despite such largesse, politicians keep telling us they can’t find enough waste to justify spending cuts and want to raise your taxes instead.
You be listening to Hannity..;>)
My firefox won’t let me in...even when I say “allow.” WAAAHHHHH
I wish these facts were sourced in some way.
Coming from The Heritage Foundation.

And enough to make you want to scream or pick up a gun.
(If you don’t want to read it all, scroll through to the graphs - warning - very depressing)
Who prepared the Dirty Little Secrets quiz?
bkmk
Don't know, but if you click through the quiz you end up with this page where you can sign an open letter to Congress telling them to stop spending us to ruin.
I signed.
It would be more effective if the data was sourced.
There will be more QE/stimulus, because big government will not shrink itself and will not willingly eliminate more “women’s jobs.”
