This is where YOUR Money Goes

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


About three months ago, I told you about a study regarding poverty in the U.S. and how the numbers were worryingly growing by the year. Well, brace yourself, because now they`re growing by the month.

A new study has revealed that four out of five American adults are struggling with unemployment, near-poverty or reliance on welfare sometime in their lives (if not their entire lives).

A report published on RTAmerica states that in 2011, 46.2 million people in the US were living in poverty and the nation’s official poverty rate was 15 percent, up from 14.3 percent in 2009, according to the US Census Bureau. That figure appears to be the highest number seen in the 52 years for which poverty estimates have been recorded.

More to that, almost one out of sixteen Americans are currently living in deep poverty. Basically, everyone in the U.S. keeps getting poorer and poorer (Except for the rich. They`re just getting richer, of course.)

And here`s something that may interest you most: “The risks of poverty have been growing in recent decades, especially among people aged 35-55.” That means that seniors enter the last third of their lives being poor. After working hard for decades, paying their taxes on time and trying their best to build themselves and their families a decent future… they end up living on welfare, shelling out all their money on double mortgage.

And here comes the nothing-to-be-surprised-of news of the day: estimates show that, by 2030, 85% of American adults will be experiencing economic-insecurity. Well, of course we will. Judging by the way economics and politics work (or don`t work) these days in the U.S., I`m surprised there`s 15% out there that gets away. The way the government wastes taxpayers` money is so outrageous, I can`t even write a decent opinion about it. I`ll just let the facts talk by themselves:

According to The Cable, for the last six years, the U.S. government has spent more than $24 million to fly a plane around Cuba and beam American-sponsored TV programming to the island’s inhabitants. But every day the plane flies, the government in Havana jams its broadcast signal. Few, if any, Cubans can see what it broadcasts.

For the past two years, the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors has been asking the Congress to cease the waste and stop the useless program, but anti-Castro members of Congress (that must be also anti-Common Sense) insisted on spending obscene sums of money out of taxpayers` pockets just to show off their political views. Well, at least if they did it more efficiently. But since no one even sees their propaganda messages… what`s there to gain?

But if you thought that`s the most absurd thing the government does with your money, you`d be very, very wrong.

The House and Senate Intelligence Committees rushed into approving the arming of Syrian rebels, disregarding the huge costs this decision implies.

And by huge costs, I mean billions of dollars thrown every month in the Syrian rebel army`s yard, while tens of millions of Americans struggle with poverty and joblessness.

“Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest-ranking American military advisor, wrote that a no-fly zone over Syria would cost the US between $500 million and $1 billion a month to maintain, and may be ineffective because the Syrian army relies on artillery, not air support, to fight the insurrection.“ (RTAmerica)

So here`s what I get from this:

The highest-ranking American military advisor officially accuses the Obama administration of:

1. Not even knowing the enemy`s strategy

2. Sheer stupidity and lack of common sense

3. Wasting money like Obama can sweat out dollars through his pores

Curious to know what happened after the high cost issue came to light?

“We believe we are in a position that the administration can move forward” (House of Representatives Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers)

In other words, we don`t give a damn. It`s not our money. It`s YOUR money, taxpayer. And there`s more where that came from, so we`ll just keep wasting it until you`re drained of your last cent. And then we`ll blame you for bringing this country down. Just a heads-up.
