A Glance at Government Spending

Government spending is not all that you may think it is. You probably think that it's all about blowing cash wads on pot for people with "medical needs" and buying the local homeless new pants. Not so my friends, not so. In fact, that's an old communist idea, those no good red suckers. Redistributing the wealth and other things. In actuality, the policy is to distribute the wealth to the top of the pyramid, where it can smell the fresh air, and occasionally slide down the side. Or, it just may blow away in the wind. In either case, you should take your chance and reach for some of that cash, if only a futile attempt to look like you're trying. Because, as it turns out, many billions of dollars are currently being spent on oil ventures. You know, helping them out to develop better personal lubricants and things. Also, some of the money will be used to further strengthen the oil temple, where all of the oily leaders squirm anxiously and laugh maniacally at there trickery. Illumninati anyone? Yes please. Republicans: Socialism costs society so much that we will all die from famine and lack of hope. Republicans: Socialism within the context of capitalism will help us grow out of control like the tumor on the young boy's neck. He grabs it for a consistency check, and squeezes the tight purple skin. I actually witnessed this scenario today. Just as the boy's neck tumor will probably kill him (so he proceeds to eat a giant plate of fries - hey, who the fuck cares?), the government will kill us by making us slaves, as if we weren't already. The solution, says me: quit. Everyone should quit for some time, whatever it is they're doing to "serve" society. Doctors: remain at work, but don't play the drug company's and insurance company's games. Don't loot assholes. Quitting, eating fries by the pound... either way we might as well increase the pace of our slow march to the grave. Republicans: Fries sold by McDonald's are delicious, tumors are also delicious, and should be seen as a delicacy. Republicans: Wage increases and socialized medicine will run the bank dry (and other things), but giving $2.5 billion dollars away to tycoons will certainly help us all. Welfare recipients are cheaters, drilling 200 miles under the ocean will certainly benefit the human condition. Nobody cares? Some say we're not slaves, but they also say that there isn't much they can do about the things they so loathe. They can't, but maybe we can, or they (they?) can. Too clichè for you? Too over-romanticized? I would maybe think the same, but I also think that we've been conditioned to think that. Be reasonable. Be passive. Be discouraged. Trim your mustache (if applicable). Freedom isn't free motherfucker, in fact, we learn more of this every day. Many of have been diverted into thinking that this has something to do with fighting wars on foreign soil. Oh, but on the contrary, it has to do with fighting wars here. Everyone in this war is forgiven for not joining the fight (too busy, socially unacceptable, bad stomach ache, monopoly tourney) but remember, without turbulence, the oxygen slowly dissipates... and again we're left incapacitated - the powers that be are just good enough at this now that we only suffer brain damage to the degree that we are unable to recognize the situation. At least we can still enjoy the suburbs (opinions all decided, conform or be cast out).
