The U.S. Congress sets a federal budget every year in the trillions of dollars. Few people know how much money that is so we created a breakdown of federal spending in simple terms. Let's put the 2011 federal budget into perspective:

U.S. income: $2,170,000,000,000
Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000
New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000 (about 1 percent of the budget)

It helps to think about these numbers in terms that we can relate to. Let's remove eight zeros from these numbers and pretend this is the household budget for the fictitious Jones family.

Total annual income for the Jones family: $21,700
Amount of money the Jones family spent: $38,200
Amount of new debt added to the credit card: $16,500
Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
Amount cut from the budget: $385

Whew! I'm glad they got that all worked out to our benefit, aren't you?

That's Obamanomics fer ya. :flipoff1:

Now where's my check? :afro:

i cant even believe I forgot about this until lunch time considering how pissed I was.

Last night the wife calls we on my way home to swing by HEB (grocery) to pick up some Chili sauce, I jump her ass for never making lists and getting everything when shes there. I bet I stop at the store 3 nights a week, but thats another rant.

So I get the stuff and hop in line, I have the baby with me and am in a hurry as normal. I see the shortest line is two extremely well dressed black people with a cart near empty.....good they are almost ready to pay. SWEET, I think! They go to pay and the chick pulls out an EBT card from her matching LouisVuitton purse and wallet, she only has $75 on it and the bill is $150ish, the dude complains to her but finally pulls out his wallet and pulls an EBT card as well gets them to $100 something, all I know thye were still short. They still owe more and the chick bitches and moans then pulls out an AmEX Gold. By now I'm ****ing wanting to say something! But i dont I keep my mouth shut, which was hard.

Well I check out, and about the time I'm coming out the door they are pulling out of their spot in a very new convertible Crossfire with rims.

WTF????

So as a taxpayer I just paid for their groceries??? WTF ******!

They can all :gtfo:

in my book...

What would happen if we had a 100% minority free US for 5 years.
I'm not saying I want that or that it would make things better, I just wonder what the effects would be?
Obvious workforce gap, or would there be?

I always love it when I see a Negro in Michael Jordan jersey and shorts, wearing $200 basketball shoes and the motherfuckers weigh in at about 350 and stands 5 foot 6 . Knowin the brother got a vertical leap of about half an inch :wtflol:

Nonswimmers. Been using that one for a while.

Here's an interesting first hand experience. The past 2 weeks I've been working primarily with 2 guys on jobsites. One is a black guy, innercity, 40's, dreadlocks, doesn't start any **** and works hard. The other is white, country, 50's under educated, brute, who used to be one hard working, ass busting, dependable guy. We were working 2 jobs, one during the day and one for several hours at night. Black guy shows up every day on time, and stayed until we couldn't do anymore. One day was 16 hours and several were 14. White guy, layed out multiple days, worked maybe 3 nights, cried about it the next day, and did some real **** work that yours truly had to fix

on top of that claiming he got hurt so he can get workman's comp.

I think once a certain type of person figures out how easy it is to get "mailbox money", they just get spoiled. Lazy ****ers. :gtfo:

I'm 36 years old, have spinal cord cancer and thank god I finally got on Medicaid to pay all my hospital visit, and my meds.
I have a wife, and two kids. My monthly check IS a little over $1400. I can't work or do much of anything. The bad part is when we applied
For food stamps to help out with the kids, they were gonna give me $40 a month to live on. I told them to keep the forty bucks.
I bet if I was black and had 12 kids I could get $1000 worth of food stamps. I told the ****** lady at the food stamp place, that I would just start selling
My pain meds to cover my cost of living.( joke of course )
Sorry had to vent a little.

If we didn't spend so much on lazy bastards that shouldn't get it, we could do a lot more to help out people who should.

Read this today on yahoo news. Good for you guys in Bama, bad for us in TN. All them fence jumpers will be headed up here and filing our already overcrowded schools. My 3 yr old took the school assessment and passed to enter school early. When we went to the school to meet with them they said there was still no guarantee that he would get in because the "spanish speaking kids" got first priority. :****: They have to teach them English before they can enter kindergarten so our preschool is 70% mexicans. Luckily my kid did get in but in his class of 12 kids, 7 are mexican (5 speak NO English), 3 are black, and 2 are white kids. My smart kid that passed the test with flying colors is the minority. WTF is wrong with this picture? Hold back the smart kids so that the freeloaders can clutter up the classrooms. :gtfo:

I don't like the guy but, just to be fair, what he really said is that he would put his presidency's foreign policy achievements up against those of 3 of the best presidents of all time. Still a stupid cocky overstatement though and so utterly untrue it is laughable. I think maybe he meant to say 3 of the worst???
