$88 Billion for a war that is over- no problem- $80 Billion for food stamps for entire nation- F U

The war is over- yet these 'Christians' do not complain, would not even consider not giving more money to Afghanistan, most of which goes to military contractors.


The far-reaching policy bill that covers the cost of ships, aircraft, weapons and military personnel would authorize $528 billion for the Defense Department's base budget, $17 billion for defense and nuclear programs in the Energy Department and $88.5 billion for the war in Afghanistan.

The bill is $1.7 billion more than Obama requested
.


But after giving the military more than they requested, these 'Christians' will whine for the next year about the 'Takers' using food stamp money to try to eat and survive, the nerve!

Who ARE these people? Are they people?

There is something terribly wrong with our Congress, we really cannot just sit back and take this abuse anymore.

I don't know if they are just drunk or on medications or both, but these 'people' are not in their right minds and should not be making life and death decisions for the 'least' among us.
