Let me off this speeding train to nowhere!
The U.S. government can get behind a $550 billion handout, errr, tax cut to the rich, can spend (and dole out nice juicy contracts for Becht-hell and Cheneyburton), and can spend $399B on the general military. And CEO compensation went up again amid a recession. (sidenote: your Mom's ethics or a CEOs?)
But then at the same time there's no money for social services and teachers are selling their blood to help fund schools. And our pay is either stagnating or going down even as health care costs rise.
Why is it that I'm supposed to support a system with these priorities?
