$22 Trillion.....TRILLION

"...this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution."

Well, there's that cost in blood part as well.

Rich people ended up with all that money though. They just funneled it through the projects. It went right through them. Like feeding livestock, except you don't get to eat these cows.

I think it's for entertainment purposes. It's just like sports. We pay money to watch people play ball. We pay taxes to keep third world caged animals acting like idiots. We're entertained by it. What else would there be without this? Makes for great TV. We're all watching.

Rich people in California and New York have set up all this greatness. We should be thankful. The best we would have come up with is chicken fighting or a fishing show. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
