It is the Gov'ts job to give 14 trillion to the thieving FED, Banks and Various large Corporations, not for anything back to the people.

Its about who owns the Gov't.... nothing else....

Here in my state you have to make less than $750.00 a month to get this fuel assistance check..It is usually between $68.00-$168.00, it just depends how high the electric bills have been during the year. I just got 1 of these checks. it was for $168.00.The bad thing is, this has been the worst winter in over 75 yrs. here and light bill was $413.00----$578.00, for the months of December and January....So, I had to eat very little these months and I am eating pretty good this month..Till Feb. light bill rolls in as it's been below freezing here ever night this month....So, just keep sending our money over seas and us disabled Vet's will just do the best we can till we get fed up with the bunch of you and do what we must to eat...

Ultimately the problem is the actual budget, as it is far larger than anyone could ever think. The break down is fully mind boggling, being that many different parts of it often taking chunks from the total amount of money that the US has and distributing it. While some parts may seem large, when compared to others, it is small. The actual budget breaks down as follows:
This is the mandatory spending at a whopping 2.009 Trillion with a T:
695 billion for Social Security.
571 billion for other mandatory programs.
453 billion for Medicare
290 billion for Medicaid
164 BILLION FOR JUST THE INTEREST ON THE NATIONAL DEBT
11 billion for potential disaster costs
0 billion for TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program
0 billion for financial stabilization efforts.
The rest, 1.368 Trillion is all Discretionary Spending:
663.7 billion for the department of defense
78.7 billion department of health and human services
72.5 billion for the department of transportation
52.5 billion for the department of veterans affairs
51.7 billion for Department of State
47.5 billion for the department of Housing and Urban development
46.7 billion for the department of education
42.7 billion for the department of homeland security
26.3 billion for the department of energy
26.0 billion for the department of Agriculture
23.9 billion for the department of Justice
18.7 billion for NASA
13.8 billion for the department of Commerce
13.3 billion for the department of Labor
13.3 billion for the department of Treasury
12.0 billion for the department of Interior
10.5 Billion for the EPA
9.7 billion for the Social Security Administration
7.0 billion for the National Science Foundation
5.1 Billion for the Corps of Engineers
5.0 billion for the National Infrastructure bank
1.1 billion for the Corporation for National and Community Service
0.7 Billion for Small business Administration
0.6 Billion for the General services
19.8 Billion for other Agencies
105 Billion is listed as other.


When the actual breakdown, as provided by the CBO is looked at, the biggest part of the budget is the mandatory spending programs that are eating up over half of the actual budget. So the question is what to cut from the budget? So they may cut from one part, to give to another, but then what all does the country lose in the process? Some would say cut the department of defense, then what ultimately would be the end result and who would pay the price? So many rely off of all of these different departments, for their jobs and lively hoods, would it be wise to make cuts, that will end up putting more people out of work. Though, ultimately it may be wise to start pulling the military out from different bases around the world, and close them down, as they would not be needed, only keeping a token force in place, and perhaps we should no longer go and offer aid to different countries around the world, as it is apparent that the country can no longer afford to do such. By doing that, then some of the spending could be shifted around.
