I was looking for the “Interest On The Debt” slice and saw the word “Discretionary,” ah HA

Anyone would think taxes are cyanamide to American conservatives . Despite the fact this many other countries in the worldmstollmesists and get along quite well with the odd percentage point increase of needed. It's as if you don't have envy thing more impractical in life to care about other than if your tax is 26 or…

Remind me again how destabilizing the Middle East is a public -good-.

Tell me again how retooling is impossible.

It’s almost like we need to raise taxes.

It’s worth noting that the Air Force space budget is orders of magnitude greater than NASA’s. Granted, the AF is doing less sexy stuff up there, but it busy and spends a lot of money and most people have no idea. (And I’m not talking about secret UFOs or any of that bullshit, I’m talking GPS, NRO, X-37B etc...)

All of that debt service you point to didn’t just get there from Social Security. Lots of conservatives love to imagine some happy Libertarian kingdom where we can consign baby boomers who couldn’t plan for retirement, excess kids, and the members of Occupy Wall Street/Black Lives Matter to suffer and starve.

Yea because building those Jets the Air Force doesn’t want sure is a quality spending structure.

Everybody always wants to rationalize their favorite bit. Just because you want to be the edgy conservative one doesn’t mean there isn’t waste there too.

And “National Defense” eating up a billion...

Hey Russia is a bigger enemy then ISIS. Remember that.

In my field, everyone temps for at least three years after they complete their masters degree. In my case, I worked for eight months a year, was laid off for four, and then would get picked up for another contract just as the money would run out (and just before prostitution would start to look like a valid option.)
Fel…

We need to be paid more money! Especially since many of us are required to continue our education.

I made more waitressing in bars than teaching in colleges. Everyone thinks this is hilarious - especially students who thought they were my "boss" because "we are paying YOU so much."

Before people start in on knowing how much they make before I made it my major, shut the fuck up.

You forgot to put “job creators” in quotes.

I spend my paycheck on cat beds and manga.

It’s ok, I’m using my fine art degree to dry my tears :(

I’m sorry, but you can’t pay a millenial anything decent, because they’ll just spend it on artisinal mayonnaise, vinyl copies of 90s albums, rainbow flag bandannas, and marihuana cigarettes.
