It is actually sad how many intelligent people really don't get the absurdity of the arguments being made by the politicians. I work with a guy here that makes 6 figures (a pharmacist) and is well educated. He thinks its feasible to cut spending back to 1930 levels. He doesn't realize that agencies such as the EPA didn't exist in the 1930's and are completely needed. One of his key arguments is that if he paid less taxes he could donate more to charity and charities could take over large sections of governmental functions (healthcare for the poor, food programs, etc). Charity being completely voluntary wouldn't be able to reach enough people as the government can.
Now I'm not claiming there isn't a large amount of waste. Pennies and dollar bills should be done away with for example (dollar coins instead would save hundreds of millions per year, pennies have at various times recently had higher melt values than face values). Military funding should be rolled back to pre-2001 levels and we'd still be outspending the next 5 closest nations.
If the EPA had been started sooner, maybe Steve and Ice wouldn't have eaten all that lead paint.

No even more recent pennies exceeded face value due to spike in Zinc prices (pre-recession) not sure if that still holds. Doesn't still hold:

Skd <3 bros but stop with the nonsense...
Things are not feasible like universal healthcare....I have health care cause I WORK FOR A LIVING... I should not have to pay higher taxes for someone on welfare or who is lazy and doesnt want to work. There are jobs out there, people are to PROUD to work them. I happen to be very intelligent mind you the spelling I am not writing you a thesis paper. I have followed politics for a long time and things just dont make sense. Liberals live in a fantasy world and conservative live in a world that is just as bad. But at least most republicans live in reality. This shared wealth nonsense is shit, because I bust my ass and work hard to be that 1% im evil. I dont owe a civil servant anything, they chose that route for the reasons of early retirement/pension/health/or days off. Teachers dont deserve a 6 figure salary.
Next you will be telling me we should invest more in Global warming.
Everyone wants a hand out. People complain the banks were bailed out ok? If they werent those guys hustle and would take your jobs for less pay and less complaining because they realize they need to make a living.
FYI the government made more money on the bailouts then the bank did. Most of the loans were paid back plus about 30% on top of it.

i'm willing to bet 100 dollars when you say "russians" you actually mean anyone from Yugoslav, Belarus, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia, Slovakia, Hugary, Croatia, Czech, Ukraine and Bulgaria.
because you couldn't fucking tell the difference, so you just lump them all into one pot.
when's the last time you said "argg, damn those Estonians"
