Tea party supporters... how can you stomach the 24 billion they wasted?
That is over 1 fourth of the entire food stamp budget.
So that means in 16 days they wasted enough money to feed over 10 million people for a year.
24 billion is 1 eighth of the estimated cost of Obama care for 1 year.
Yes, in 16 days they wasted enough money to provide a years of medical coverage to 5 million people.

Oh and don't tell me how you would never need it because you work.... lets say a tornado destroyed where you work.... or you got sick... or any number of a thousand possibilities happened to you and you have no job no matter how hard you tried to find one.
How would you survive?
9 AnswersGovernment8 years agoI guess it is true after all... Romney IS buying our votes. We just won't see any of the money. Comments?

Notice that is a FORBES website... a know republican leaning financial magazine.
5 AnswersElections9 years agoHow can anyone support Romney?
Here is how Romney made the majority of his money.
1.) His company (Bain) buys a business
2.) that business takes out large business loans
3.) Bain charges the business "consulting fees"
4.) In order to pay back the loans the company is forced to fire "useless" people... predominately the older workers who would also have a harder time finding new jobs and tend to have children and grandchildren.
5.) The management (who were given large bonuses to get them to cooperate) jump ship and the business ultimately goes bankrupt.
Obama made the majority of his money from selling a few books.
Which do you want in charge of the country... the one that raped and pillaged American businesses for profit or the one that created something?
18 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWho here thinks Romney choose Ryan because......?
he is the guy who will maximize donations not the guy to help him win... as he knows he won't win.
8 AnswersElections9 years agoLet's play "what would I get if I had to live on welfare for a year?"?

Food stamp amount is on the right in yellowish orange text.
Cash amount is below in a blue box.
Are you going to get evicted?
How long til they repo your car?
Bad news though ... you have to WORK to get that money anyway... mandatory 30 hours a week in a job club or community services.

Nothing more demoralizing than putting in applications all day and no one calling day after day after day.
5 AnswersGovernment9 years agoAl Capone was a successful businessman too, why wasn't he president?
Sarcasm 101
14 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWhich lie did Romney tell?
Either he quit working with Bain in 1999 and he LIED to the SEC (a felony)
or
He continued to work with Bain until 2003 and is responsible for the outsourcing and bankruptcies that occurred in that time period and LIED about it being someone else's fault.
You can't have it both ways.... so which is it?
22 AnswersPolitics9 years agoCan we count all the "people" who are paid to post the SAME topic over and over?
I mean come on... every other "question" is about Holder? Seriously... its NOT that big of an issue... its NOT that interesting.... and frankly its NOT going to influence how anyone is going to vote.
3 AnswersCivic Participation9 years agoDo you know how much people REALLY pay in taxes... even the poor?

But my family falls into the category of people that are often accused of not paying their fair share actually has an effective tax rate of 18%
STILL higher than Romney.

13 AnswersLaw & Ethics9 years agoHow many of you armchair politicians out there even know how much birth control pills costs without insurance?
And why isn't it available over the counter?
12 AnswersPolitics9 years agoHas anyone thought about this simplest solution to the birth control controversy?
Make birth control available without a prescription and insurance plans won't have to cover it. Problem solved. The day after pill is already available over the counter and contains the same hormones as the mini-pill.
2 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWill my heart break because Newell blocked me again?

Again dude - suck it up and get on with your life... you are being a crybaby.
4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government9 years agoSo apparently there are only 120 thousand republicans in Iowa?
Does anyone else think there is something wrong with those numbers? Iowa has a population over 3 million.
8 AnswersElections9 years agoSo just 6 people have more wealth than over 90 MILLION and they pay a LOWER tax rate than half of them?
And the republican party fights to cut their taxes even more as they EXPORT jobs to China. How can you defend that?
* The majority of their wealth is from capital gains... and that is taxed half as much as your paycheck.
