On top of all the waste and fraud we are now paying 1 trillion dollars of interest on our national debt. Wonderful

[Paul158]

THE government took in 4.44 trillion dollars in revenue last year. They spent 6.14 trillion dollars last year. Which left us with a 1.7 trillion-dollar deficit. So waste and fraud along with the student loan redistribution of debt to the taxpayer is over 25 percent of the revenue we take in. What could possibly go wrong.

And listen to her Startup plan.  Startups don't need tax deductions, you have to make money to pay taxes.  Startups need seed money to help get them going before the venture capital money and there are already a lot of programs for that.

She has no idea what she is talking about most of the time. 

By the time a program like that was passed, the only businesses that would ‘qualify’ would be those run by family members of congressmen.

$573,000 to anti-Israel group for fighting “disinformation.”

I don't think they included that in this estimate. I was going to try estimate that myself. My guess would be 20 to 40 billion dollars. Which is probably low.

I haven't seen a cap gun in decades.  But I had one as a kid and it was all kinds of fun until the caps hung up.   But I guess that was part of the fun, figuring that out.   Then off shooting bad guys again.

I never took down a quail or any other bird with my cap gun.  Always assumed was because it just went bang but now I guess I must admit to being a poor shot.
