Big Government

[phreakwars]

So again... where were all the protesters then.. why now?

 

Like you said... YOU were against them too.. so why didn't YOU bitch and complain too? I've never seen any of the complaining from YOU back then.

Because were talking about peoples jobs here.. or does that fact elude you? USPS is one of those hybrid companies, yes controlled by government, but NOT tax payer funded. And like I said, it hasn't taken subsidies since Reagan.. I mean, you can go ahead and post all the pretty pictures you want about how in the tank the PO is, but that's besides the point... they are STILL not subsidized.

 

Hugo mentioned getting rid of them... for what reason? Is he (and you) saying "WELL THEY MIGHT NEED A BAIL OUT... ELIMINATE THEM"?

 

How about all the other .gov agency's that were mentioned.. HUD, Dept. of Education, Dept of Agriculture?

 

Why are these so wasteful that they need to put literally millions of people in the unemployment line?

 

Are these programs "big government" too?

 

Like I said, I just want to get an idea of what "BIG GOVERNMENT" really is.

 

Perhaps, by someone else's reasoning, we have no need for county investigators either. Another job that could be eliminated and send some people to the unemployment line... why can't the police/deputy's do their own detective work?

 

Evidently Colorado Springs thought it was a great idea and eliminated their's to save money. What makes THAT job so important?

 

It's way too easy to say... yeah, lets get rid of this and that and these guys... but like I said... your talking about jobs just as much as your talking about waste.

You know, I have to ask a question, do liberals really believe it is the Government's responsibility to provide jobs even if the work is not needed?

 

 

 

I don't care if some dead weight is tossed into the unemployment line, the point is do we "NEED" that agency or that employee? If the answer to that question is no, then eliminate it. I work hard to earn the tax money that is being wasted on Government employees we do not need. Many agencies can be combined and keep the actual workers but drop the massive buracracy and overhead maintaining seperate offices and seperate bosses, combining these agencies can save us billions of dollars.

 

 

Oh, I agree that the fist and most important agency to cut should be the IRS, go to the 'Fair Tax' and dump all of those useless IRS idiots out on the street.

 

 

 

By the way, "why now"?

 

Because only now has an administration taken power and completely ignored the will of the people on this big of a scale, right after Obama promised that "jobs" will be the number 1 priority, he turned away from "jobs" and went back to his healthcare mess nobody wanted. Today the only priority Obama has for jobs is more Government jobs as he is helping to kill more private sector jobs. The average every day person in America is pissed off because they are getting less money, while the Government is taking more money, Bush and company did increase spending and grew Government, this is true, but he did it while we were still relatively strong, and we were only at the start of the housing and loan meltdown caused by the fair housing laws Clinton signed.

 

 

Obama on the other hand is spending more money, in less time than Bush and is doing it in a time when the Nation is badly bleeding, hurt and broke while they watch the Washington elites spend, spend, spend without a care in the world. That is "why now".
