It only applies to a tiny fraction of the Federal budget... $350B out of, what, close to $4T? Exempt are DHS, DoD and <i>foreign aid</i>. How transparent can you get? US gov won&#39;t stop sending <i>more</i> welfare to international bankers (through foreign aid) and won&#39;t stop spending <i>even more</i>&nbsp;on its already ridiculously outsized war budget. The charade is getting to be downright unbearable. I would prefer it, for sanity&#39;s sake, if these assholes would just own up... &quot;yes, we&#39;re bilking you for close to 50% of everything you earn <i>because we can</i>... so get used to it.&quot; At least I could have the satisfaction of bitching about it and having everyone in the room nod their heads in agreement. How do they pull this off?? I&#39;m in the wrong line of work.</p> <p>Clayton -</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
