Bilderberg strikes again Mr Money Mgmt.

bhahahahahahahahaha......that makes no sense.

what the fuck did u do to hanas thread..both of u shut the fuck up...go fight in the frenchy thread

ite im gunna just throw in my theory. a big problem we have is that we dont tax the rich... there should be a law against cutting jobs of big corporations just because u are getting taxed more because that is exactly wat these big shots will do. they will get taxed more and to keep their pockets fat they will just lay off thousands of people. it's a lose-lose situation

Okay so here in new zealand we have a tax rate of 19c in the dollar.. and they blame government over spend on our welfare system... D: i think that is right (looks for nulltag) but if i understand rightly you don't have a welfare system like ours... so where does the overspending go??

America's #1 problem...Too much foreign aid. If its gonna piss off the needy foreigners so much so be it. Let em start a war, thatll end shit quick.

heres a few

#1 A total of $3 million has been granted to researchers at the University of California at Irvine so that they can play video games such as World of Warcraft. The goal of this “video game research” is reportedly to study how “emerging forms of communication, including multiplayer computer games and online virtual worlds such as World of Warcraft and Second Life can help organizations collaborate and compete more effectively in the global marketplace.”

#2 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the University of New Hampshire $700,000 this year to study methane gas emissions from dairy cows.

#3 $615,000 was given to the University of California at Santa Cruz to digitize photos, T-shirts and concert tickets belonging to the Grateful Dead.

#4 A professor at Stanford University received $239,100 to study how Americans use the Internet to find love. So far one of the key findings of this “research” is that the Internet is a safer and more discreet way to find same-sex partners.

#5 The National Science Foundation spent $216,000 to study whether or not politicians “gain or lose support by taking ambiguous positions.”

#6 The National Institutes of Health spent approximately $442,340 to study the behavior of male prostitutes in Vietnam.

#7 Approximately $1 million of U.S. taxpayer money was used to create poetry for the Little Rock, New Orleans, Milwaukee and Chicago zoos. The goal of the “poetry” is to help raise awareness on environmental issues.

#8 The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs spent $175 million during 2010 to maintain hundreds of buildings that it does not even use. This includes a pink, octagonal monkey house in the city of Dayton, Ohio.

#9 $1.8 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars went for a “museum of neon signs” in Las Vegas, Nevada.

#10 $35 million was reportedly paid out by Medicare to 118 “phantom” medical clinics that never even existed. Apparently these “phantom” medical clinics were established by a network of criminal gangs as a way to defraud the U.S. government.

#11 The Conservation Commission of Monkton, Vermont got $150,000 from the federal government to construct a “critter crossing”. Thanks to U.S. government money, the lives of “thousands” of migrating salamanders are now being saved.

#12 In California, one park received $440,000 in federal funds to perform “green energy upgrades” on a building that has not been used for a decade.

#13 $440,955 was spent this past year on an office for former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert that he rarely even visits.

#14 One Tennessee library was given $5,000 in federal funds to host a series of video game parties.

#15 The U.S. Census Bureau spent $2.5 million on a television commercial during the Super Bowl that was so poorly produced that virtually nobody understood what is was trying to say.

#16 A professor at Dartmouth University received $137,530 to create a “recession-themed” video game entitled “Layoff”.

#17 The National Science Foundation gave the Minnesota Zoo over $600,000 so that they could develop an online video game called “Wolfquest”.

#18 A pizzeria in Iowa was given $60,000 to renovate the pizzeria’s facade and give it a more “inviting feel”.

#19 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave one enterprising group of farmers $30,000 to develop a tourist-friendly database of farms that host guests for overnight “haycations”. This one sounds like something that Dwight Schrute would have dreamed up.

#20 Almost unbelievably, the National Institutes of Health was given $800,000 in “stimulus funds” to study the impact of a “genital-washing program” on men in South Africa.

we have "entitlement" programs which care of underprivileged, elderly, etc. it accounts for over 40% of our annual revenue as a country.

problem is those expenses have went up at a high % over last ten years and workers earning are flat which = less revenue to pay for all these programs. hence misuse of funds. we all hand a lot of money out around the world. (have given over 300 billion to haiti over last 10 yrs and look at terrible state it was in before natural disaster.)

misuse of funds & greed again.

haha now dont piss off the frenchies

lol... genital washing programme... perhaps mumubear could initiate that here... but what about war stuffs.. how much is spent on wars i wonder... or does that count as foreign aid?
