Two wars, and epic entitlement state for non defense industries, like $90B for solyndra.

In my region, we have one of the walmart heirs, who announced he would renovate a large public retail space. He backed out when he was not given tax money to do it. you heard that right, he was not asking for a tax free effort on his investment. he was insisting the government give poor peoples tax money to him for him to have the perrogative and ownership. He then withdrew.

There is hundreds of trillions of dollars of money in the system, but 99% of people can not afford food.
