section 8 housing, as the owner of some, the government paying me $932/mo for $40,000 homes is hilariously poor management on their part. Market rents for $932/mo get alot better home.



You are part of the problem.

Special education funding for "emotionally disturbed" and "behaviorally disturbed" students. It is mostly bullshite with massive benefits for being Assholes. We are taking some major cheese. Oh, and as a result of their designation, they are pretty much untouchable from a disciplinary standpoint. I often wonder what percentage of adults that have major issues with the police were these students growing up. I would say 2/3 minimum. It is very frustrating.

I'm deep in the business of Medicare.


A conservative estimate of waste and fraud is 50%.

I think prisoners have it easy. In my opinion they are there to be punished and not rehabilitated. Take away some of the programs. People go to jail or prison and they get a college education.

Medicare/Medicaid

Both programs are robbed blind by the healthcare industry.

Good god the military is bloated.... I look up to military guys and I know there are some smart mofos, why can't they budget better. I bet if they tried they could cut spending 15% across the board and with the right people not see a single change in anything. Personnel, R&D, anything.

I guess the F35 is a prime example

You should go tour a prison. Then imagine being there. And you have a cold. Or maybe diarrhea.

Mama ain't bringing no soft toilet paper or chicken soup or medicine. Get your arse up and go to work.

congrats on having Section 8 property. I wish Section8 would be totally deleted off the books. It's the country's cancer. And you are a parasite.

The average prisoner does. It's damn near a second home and their friends are there.

A guy like me, spending a few hours behind bars is enough of a deterrent to never want to go back.
