In reply to what I just finished reading, as I just read this thread for the first time. After 9/11 I thought the government was supposed to prepared for any dissaster. Where did all are tax dollars go?

Where did all are tax dollars go?

Same place all our other taxes go to....Presidential Balls.....Congressional Vacations.....Foreign Aid.....and $20 Billion public welfare..er..I mean....Public Works programs like the Big Pig (Dig)......

FDR invented the concept of the public works program as a way to get America back to work after the Great Depression....nowadays, Presidents tend to use it as a way to get Americans to look the other way when our government decides to give away one of our industries......"Sure, outsource all our programming jobs, but we'll have plenty of new construction jobs open for the people who get displaced."

Employment is at an all-time low, and Wal*Mart is the largest private employer in the USA......unemployment has decreased, but so has actual earnings......what a country.......
