transfer payments

70% of U.S. spending is writing checks to individuals. “…the government has become primarily a massive money-transfer machine, taking $2.6 trillion from some and handing it back out to others.” Well, they’re not just writing checks, they’re buying votes.

  • Nothing like buying votes to keep your degenerate ass in office....it's much more impotent to pay obese welfare bottom feeders to vote for you than have secure borders.....more impotent to have 990 weeks of unemployment insurance than to have a balanced budget, more impotent to have your friends get an unlimited EBT card and multiple votes in an election than to have basic services, more impotent to have a tilted media paid for by Obama contributors than to have the truth come out....Its like the Hotel Kalifornia, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.....Once the goobermint has their hands in your pants, you are done....

    • You forgot to mention having the INjustice Dept and BATFE go after law abiding businesses, and harassing them and their customers.
