Just finished watching Cavuto and his pals yapping on the subject of cutting the spending. Scene 1:
- Newly electeds are after agricultural subsidies and various social wellfare programs as a way to cut spending. Great. Let's kill the agriculture.
Scene 2:
- Illegal immigration should become a criminal act and both the employer that knowlingly hired illegals AND the illegal that worked for said employer should go to jail. Together with his guest, they conclude that feds need more agents and more authorization to dig through companies' papers.
Awesome. Let's kill livelihood of those that grow and bring our bread to the table (litteraly) and increase hunger and despair and give that money that are "saved" to the Big Brother for more protection.
You'll catch the same people being both for cutting government spending and against immigration. They'd cut federal spending BUT are for stronger enforcement. What will fund enforcement then, thin air?!
Neither of the two parties have any intention on addressing the stem of the problem. I wonder how much does US involvment in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict cost us vs. how much do we spend on agricultural subsidies? And which one is most logical to cut first in the time of emergency?
