No one is buying what you're selling anymore. The fact is its disgusting that we can get bipartisan support for shit like this when we can't even maintain our own infrastructure.

Head start? Home heating assistance? Medicare? social security? ALL ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK!

Another half billion for Israel? Automatic bi-partisan support!

This is immoral, its a perversion and it's an outrage. Its time to pick a side. You can support Israel (i do to but not at any cost) but if you're OK with taking food and necessities from the mouths of Americans to fund them you're looking at treason.
