The Truth About Government Waste.

It isn't.

The US Government employed in 2010 4,443,000. That's 4,443,000 getting a paycheck and spending it in shops. Now as Minte knows and Robbie, it doesn't stop there. Each single employee requires something to do his job. Might be just a bucket and broom, of might be a space station orbiting the Earth, might be a 747 to ferry the President around, might be a uniform, gun, police station, training and equipment. Might be a hospital, uniform, training, drugs and equipment. All this costs money and the Government, unless they import it from china, buy it from US firms. Like Minte's, remember he got a Government contract?

None of the employees need nothing, they all need something and this creates millionaires. And all this money is spent in Supermarkets, DIY stores, Malls, homes, cars, computers, entertainment, etc.

Now who do you tell they no longer have a job?

Because you're not just telling him to tighten his belt, you're telling all the people who rely on him to use their products in his job and all the people where they spend their money to tighten their belts also.

And this is where all that borrowed money went. Well most of it. Some think it was wasted. Well tell that to people who work in Via Cupeno, Oceanside, United States. They might disagree with you. So will everyone else that is employed by the Government, or their families, or the people they spend their money with, or the people where they spend their money.

And Romney will tell you it is, because he doesn't give a flying fuck. About them or you, he will just cut taxes, borrow more and cream off the top. Because somewhere in the chain of Government spending are the 1% or even 0.5% who own the companies where all the wasted money ends up.
