what are they spending all that money on? Congress should defund, regulate, and do a full accounting of their finances.

no money available for healthcare, education, or food benefits. But there is always plenty of money to kill people.

It sure looks like the goons have the finest weaponry, helmets, comms equipment, vests, eye protection unlimited chemicals, , SUV’s, costumes and two jets for Barbie. Already blown through 200* BILLION. Plus they are housed in Hilton hotels and have never seen an MRE. What is their daily meal payout. Plus bonus and combat pay.
But remember what Rumsfeld told our real soldiers headed to GQP Iraq occupation,, that where not getting not getting equipment needed, when they had no Vests, explosive plates to fit their vehicles, and family were sending them gear?
Rumsfeld said quote, “you go to war with the equipment you have”. And the REAL soldiers in Iraq were actually being shot at.
Fuck Barbi and ICes!
And these murderers make in one year of a base salary, what this vet made in 4 years. No bonuses. No Hilton luxury accommodations for VeitNam real soldiers.

because I'm sure the executive salaries come out of a different budget and if they don't, they soon will.

DHSreally has to go, it was open to too much abuse from the say Dubya/Cheney, GOP came up with it as a slush fund to pay goons to control the peasants. Now it's morphed into a "law enforcement agency" that doesn't follow any laws.

It needs to go ASAP.

So it really doesn't matter if FEMA doesn't have a budget. They have effectively stopped worrying about anyone in a "blue" state and we have seen Republicans heartlessly defund FEMA In the past.

Defund it all. Close the government down.
