Some other Republicans say they don't want to cut safety nets...but cut waste. Medicare is not a waste. Good for them...the republican rep from Georgia, Tom Price.

We should all support him, for doing the right thing.

The day before 9/11 Donald Rumsfeld holds a press conference.

He announces that the Pentagon can not account for 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS.

They are intentionally robbing us blind.

The military has been privatized and the greed and theft will only get worse.

Seriously. They have been working on this since the 1990s and they are still not ready for book-keeping.

Just one example: Neither the book-keeping softwares nor the inventory-keeping softwares of Army, Navy and Air-Force are compatible. If you want to transfer data, you have you type it in.
