We hear the same thing here. Medicare is broke, Social Security is broke, we can't keep the VA hospitals running, roads and bridges crumbling, no money to keep the National Park system up, etc...
But there's and endless supply for welfare, food stamps, free phones, housing, Congressional and Senate annual pay raises, new Presidential jet, limousine, vacations to the far corners of the globe, unlimited protection for former Presidents, Congress and the like.
But let a Veteran need a blanket and a hot meal and he's pushed aside like yesterdays dirty dishes. That friends is not Republican or Democrat. That is Liberalism and greed at it's finest. Liberalism is found on both sides, not just one. And it needs to be stopped.
