Your Tax Dollars At Work

I know. I know. You're out there saying, "we have so much money. It's everywhere. It practically grows on trees. Why not spend spend spend." If this is your position please check yourself into the local funny farm because you are nuts. But most of you aren't. Our politicians however? They seem to follow this line or reasoning. Fuckers.
Our leaders have refused to make the tough decisions for so long, constantly passing it on to the next generation. Unfortunately for us, we've run out of generations to pass it on to. Our infrastructure is failing. The state on MA alone has numerous deficient bridges. roads and waterways. Our sewage system is dying as seen through the recent water main break that cut off a clean supply to over 2 million customers including the entire city of Boston. These will become more commonplace as we have no money now to fix these crumbling structures. Although if we have taken the trillions of dollars going to bailouts and worthless government programs (defense I'm looking at you), we could have had free health care, elimination of personal debt to millions, no mortgage crisis, new infrastructure and safe banks. Instead we got rich people getting richer and the poor told tough titty.
Tired of bail outs. Get set for the latest because we're bailing out Greece. Yes you read that right. 40 billion dollars of tax payer money is going to Greece. To a fix a problem that won't work by throwing money at it. Ron Paul, as well as many economists, have stated that this throwing of newly printed money will eventually lead to rapid inflation and runaway costs. And guess who going to be hurt worst by that. The Poor. We being led to slavery by our nose and nobody wants to stop it. Certainly not the corporations or the government (one and the same). I smell a real tea party soon.
If that wasn't bad enough, BP has proven to be even more incompetent at plugging their oil leak gushing millions of gallons of oil every few days. Their idea to stop it with a big casing has failed. Their next idea which is literally throwing everything and the kitchen sink at it has some worried that a failure could exacerbate the problem 12 fold. The only thing left will take months and has not been proven to work either. Damage to this could be in the hundred os billions, wiping out thousand of jobs some permanently. Drill Baby drill people can suck it. The cost to taxpayers will be of the chart. This could possibly break the bank for us. We better take BP with us.
War drums are still sounding with the US telling Pakistan that an attack traced back to them will lead to dire consequences. Israel is warning Iran and the world that an attack could be imminent by August if tough sanctions are not placed soon. The prospects for these sanction still seem a long way off and Israel is not known for patience. They have attacked Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007 to end their nuclear programs. There is no reason to suspect they won't do it again. Again whose tax dollars are going to support this war. Ours.
If are going to have make really tough choices soon or our civilization is toast. But one has to look at Greece and see what that may lead to. Wealth inequality has reached dangerous levels. With the police no longer to be trusted since being Incorporated into Homeland Security, we are truly on our own. Recent SWAT tactics show storm trooper like activity, shooting two harmless dogs in front of a seven year old because the father has less than a quarter of weed. Bastards. Not surprisingly, the Columbus Police department had received death threats since the video went viral. Coupled with the recent video of a an innocent Mexican immigrant being kicked repeatedly by cops we have to ask ourselves how safe we are with these morons protecting us.
