America: Welfare State For The Rich
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2011-08-06 03:00
"But genuine welfare for the poor, like TANF and Food Stamps, barely amounts to a rounding error. When you add up the so-called “Defense” budget, two unfunded wars, “national security” spending carried out through the DHS, CIA, DOE and NASA, and interest on the debt from past wars, the majority of the budget actually goes to welfare for the Military-Industrial Complex."
