Since I want every one who reads this to get involved, the moral of this whole diatribe will be placed front and center...GET INVOLVED, DAMMIT!!!
How? Start here--> Find & Write to your Senator
Need a hint on why you should be writing? Well, other than the obvious fact that you should be staying informed and included as a constituent of the person you voted in, here's two major topics to stir anyone's ire...
- Pentagon and DoD cannot account for it's spending of tens of millions of dollars in Iraq
- Actual 2005 Revisionary Summary of Fiscal Budget
There's a start to get you going. Why am I, the lambasting liberal, so outraged? Well, let me dumb it all down: Our holier than thou, can do no wrong, "let's feed it like an overstuffed Christmas Pig", ginormous and all encompassing Department of Defense appropriates a freakish amount of the budget (ie, our tax dollars). Appropriates means gobbles up like a hungry hippo, since I don't want a dismall vocabulary to lose anyone in reading this message. Now, since I cannot seem to find the actual numbers, I can say that 106 billion dollars in addition to whatever we gave them in the first place means there's a heck of a lot of money in that warchest. Now, if you read the dilluted crap of a budget posted, you can see that there's more money being poured into the DoD, and it's little evil brother, the Homeland Security Derpartment, than any other department. By any other department I am lumping in such minor nuisance spendings as say, Education, Agriculture, and Commerce. If you go down a few obviously exagerated graphs, you'll even see that Foreign Relations gtes more money than Ed. Spending for Veteran's Affairs is barely a blip on the radar.
So, we pour billions upon billions of dollars into these two departments, and they can't even tell the independent accounting group where the HELL the money went? We're being told there's not enough, I think it's about time we make our govt' pony up some fucking answers. They tell us our soldiers need more armour, which they DO, but they can't explain why all the other money we've thrown at them hasn't bought it already. You want more, but you can't tell us where the last 419 billion went. Well, I am not going to let my representative take this one without taxpayers fighting beside her.
Write to your representatives, PLEASE people. Tell them we as the American people DEMAND answers. And you know what, I am not getting off this soapbox until I get them!
