Full-disclosure: I claim Independent, never missed a vote in my life at any level, including while overseas and I’ve never cast vote for a Dem, never will. So yes…I’m biased right. That said; I fully realize both traditional parties screw the contituency and I have little favorable to say about either re: financial responsibility and their continuous failures historically.
But…it is THIS ADMINISTRATION in power now, the Socialists and their “Dear Leader” cult-of-personality shit-fest that are accountable and they have perpetuated the status quo and have again pissed away you and your family’s money. ObaMao flat-out lied, not that I ever doubted he and his failing senior leadership would manage with integrity, but they have failed you and yours as expected. Ah yes, change is great isn’t it?
These fucks make me sick...again!
Note: Check-out the paragraph "rationalizing" progress re: Pork reduction...laughable...come talk to me when the "pork-shit" is managed to $ZERO you losers.

Tracking Your Taxes: Defense Bill Pays for Prostate Screenings, Sprinkler System
By William La Jeunesse and Laura Prabucki - FOXNews.com
Extract:
President Obama pledged in August to cut all pork barrel projects from defense spending, threatening to veto any swollen bills that came across his desk -- a pledge shattered by nearly 2,000 pet projects that have made their way into the defense budget.
"If a project doesn't support our troops, we will not fund it," he said to a meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix. "If a system doesn't perform, we will terminate it. And if Congress sends me a defense bill loaded with that kind of pork, I will veto it. "
Just last week, Obama broke his promise as he signed into law the 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill -- a $636 billion behemoth loaded with $4.2 billion of pork.
"We should be concerned that we're getting ripped off," said Ryan Alexander, president of the watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense.
"The earmarking process is the beginning of figuring out whether or not we're getting ripped off. Absolutely dollars are being directed, not based on the best decision making process."
In all, Congress added in 1,720 pet projects, including:
∙$5 million for a visitors center in San Francisco
∙$23 million for indigent health care in Hawaii
∙$18 million for the Edward Kennedy Policy Institute in Massachusetts
∙$1.6 million to computerize hospital records in Oakland
∙$47 million for anti-drug training centers around the country
∙$20 million for the World War II Museum in Louisiana
∙$3.9 million grant to develop an energy-efficient solar film for buildings
∙$800,000 for minority prostate cancer research
∙$3.6 million for marijuana eradication in Kentucky
∙$2.4 million for handicap access and a sprinkler system at a community club in New York
