The president is an Islamist. How do we get this Big Brid and his terrorist friends out of the country? The proof is on his ring finger. Been there for 30 years.

I am constantly amazed at both sides’ ability to dupe the American public with such an inane argument you wonder who, with a brain, would fall for it.    Answer: a gullible American public, eager, on one side to put up a smokescreen in the way of attacking one of the smallest expenditures in the Federal budget, but in the process pitting one side against the other (you know those elitist, educated people who watch PBS). And if you don’t think THAT was the aim, you really are gullible).

How dumb can people be? And, just for the record, LOTS of stuff isn’t specifically outlined in the Constitution for the government to pay for. How about the $6,000 to $10,000 per month paid to nursing homes when the rich put all their parents’ assets into their names, and then put their loved ones on the public dole? Why don’t you times that $10,000 by the number of the elderly in nursing homes. And then add in another $2,000 per month for their drug bills, paid by Medicaid. You think THAT might have anything to do with why most states are in dire straights these days, while the owners of these “facilities” are raking in billions of our tax dollars.

Of course, many point out that this doesn’t come from the Federal government, but it certainly does. Can you say Medicare–sometimes paying $1,200 PER DAY, as the elder one waits to die in a “skilled nursing” wing of the nursing home.   And I know because I have had friends whose loved ones have done just that after they have spent ALL their own money. What a joke. PBS indeed!

This is a purposeful sound bite thrown out to throw off the American public, (which isn’t that difficult to do these days) whose tax dollars are funding an insane military budget and keeping in business insurance companies and pharmaceutical corporations.

Good God, REALLY–PBS costing so much. Give me a break!

Oh, yea, BTW–Ryan the wienie sure did address the 2nd Amendment, didn’t he? Another joke!

If I was Mitt I would have said “The free-market can still bring those shows to television. Just check out the garbage on Netflix. I’m sure you will find whatever show you are interested in”. Why do we act like the free-market won’t provide the things we want?
