So you want to cut spending...

So first and foremost let's talk just a little about my disclaimer shall we. It still applies and this one may offend more than normal because I'm just a little bit irritated. I say again, if you are easily offended, don't appreciate the semi-god like versatility of the word "fuck", or don't like the C-Bomb you may want to stop now. For the rest of you, read on at your own risk.


Prior to reading my rant further please refer to this article about the possibility of cutting troop pay and benefits.

Now that you have a little background let me begin.


Defense spending is a hot topic and I, as an employee of the Defense Department fully agree with the fact that we need to cut spending. However, can we be a little more fucking realistic about this shit please. Although my pay and benefits package is pretty good, especially the benefits, there is no reason my pay or benefits should be cut. You wanna know why health care is costing the defense department so much fucking money. NEWS FLASH GENIUS, we're fucking surviving. Shit that woulda smoke checked a mother fucker in Vietnam isn't killing people anymore. So they are coming back fucked up. It costs a hell of a lot more fucking money to fix people that it does to bury them. Can no one else see this? What the fuck? You wanna know what else is doing it. We call them the reserves and the national guard. See although we offer these people health care, we only offer it to them when they are activated. Ummm.... so when we have them in reserve status we don't pay extra. Up until 10 years ago they weren't activated too much. However, when you go to war and then you decide to pull a Hitler and fight on multiple fronts you have to call up your reserves. I say again, when they are active we have to pay for their health care. Not to mention you also have to cover their dependents. Oh and if they get fucked up, we have to continue to care for them when they return. This isn't fucking rocket science. 


So you want to cut defense spending do you. Here are a few profound fucking ideas on how to do it without fucking over the people who operate the fucking weapons. Instead of investing so much fucking money trying to develop a new weapon or piece of equipment that we don't need why don't we look to improve the ones we have that are combat proven. Instead of using the good old boy network to award fucking contracts for new equipment why don't we use the civilian version that has been tested as being more effective and cheaper. We have a free world fucking market out there at our disposal why not fucking use it instead of hiring your old officer buddy to reinvent the wheel for eleventy fucking million dollars. The Marines and Soldiers on the front lines are fucking amazing. We figured out that if mom sends us a fucking remote control car we can add some weight to it and blow up pressure plate IED's before the convoy runs them over. This costs roughly $50 bucks for the remote control car, and $10 for shipping. So does the government raid every fucking Toys R Us for this shit. Nope. We spend billions of dollars developing this high speed low drag wheel system the rides approximately 20 feet in front of the lead vehicle. It costs like $500,000 and once it goes boom it has little chance of being used again. So $60 or $500K. No fucking brainer. Not to fucking mention that the $500K variety is a stationary piece of fucking equipment so those insurgent fuckers figured if the put the plate in one spot they should put the explosive 15 to 20 feet behind it. So the roller hits the pressure plate and the boom happens under the vehicle. Great waste of fucking money guys. Give me that fucking remote control car and a fucking brick! We can drive that thing at various distances in front of a convoy which makes it harder to target! We call this not establishing a fucking pattern. 


Want to cut more defense spending. STOP PAYING HALIBARTON TO CLEAN OUR FUCKING TOILETS. Are you fucking kidding me. We have people that are capable of cleaning up after themselves. This is fucking retarded and a huge fucking waste of god damn money and it needs to stop. 


Here's another fucking idea. STOP GOING TO WAR. Afghanistan was originally understandable. But Iraq. That fucking giant douche bag was contained and couldn't do shit if he wanted to. Let him run his fucking mouth. Who gives a shit. The "Because we could" excuse doesn't set well with me either. Look at how much money and lives we've given for this fucking war. And for what? An ally in the middle east. Wait isn't that why we coddle fucking Saudi Arabia. We helped put a ruthless regime in power there and we've propped them up like it's fucking cool and look just how well that shit has worked out for us. How about holding up that no fly zone shit around Libya. That's fucking costing a minor fucking fortune and yet we're doing it. WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY? Qaddafi has been in power and other than being a tard on occasion he has more or less been kept in check. So let those fuckers fight it out without our help. Oh and for those people that say it's all about human fucking rights. Here's a fucking idea hot shot, walk around any major fucking city in the United Fucked Up States of America and talk to the homeless. Go to the shelters and talk to the women and children that are there because they got pummeled by some waste of oxygen with a penis. THEN tell me we should spend TRILLIONS of fucking dollars saving other people instead of helping those you drive past every fucking day. Do me a favor and go to a brush fire in California this year and hug a fucking burning tree. 


Having a force in readiness is needed to help out people when the shit hits the fan. Like Haiti, Japan, Indonesia, etc. It's not to go influence or invade countries cause the leader does fucked up shit to his people. That's fucking happening hear but we don't do shit. Oh wait, we are doing something. We're cutting the funding they need to help the few that they can. Great fucking move genius. 


So yeah let's cut the pay and benefits of the working class instead of reducing retarded spending. That makes so much fucking sense. 


What about other areas. Oh I have a fucking idea. Let's actually make corporations pay their fucking taxes and not give them a god damn fucking refund. I bet those mom and pop stores pay their fucking taxes and don't get a fucking return so why the fuck doesn't GE pay shit. When the fuck did we start saying hey make more fucking money and you won't pay fucking taxes. That shit is backwards. What about the wealthiest people in the country. Some of them are begging the government to tax them because they have the fucking money and some of them pay less in taxes than someone who makes 10% of what they do. How about we stop subsidizing oil fuckers. Jesus Howard Fucking Christ. Really. Have you not seen the price of gas? THEY MAKE ENOUGH FUCKING MONEY. We don't need to give them more so they can practice fucked up drilling that is destroying environments all over the globe. Oh and for those of you who think that subsidizing the oil companies keeps gas prices low. Do me a favor and go drink some gas, it has fucking vitamin C in it and other good shit. It's better for you than fruits and fucking vegetables. You fucking retard. Gas is actually fairly inexpensive, until you add the fucking TAXES. Back in the day Erie County New York decided that in order to help boost the economy during a recession that they would spend an entire week without collecting county sales tax. Let me tell you, the fucking gas prices dropped like .30 a gallon.  Back in the 90's that put the shit under a buck a gallon. So there's an idea, instead of providing billions to oil companies, why not stop taxing gas so much to make it more affordable. The government will spend the same amount of money and the oil tycoons will still be rolling in it. Oh and how about pharmaceutical companies. Subsidize, subsidize, subsidize. Ever see a commercial that says, "If you can't afford your prescription Aztra Zeneca  can help." Yeah we all have. Here's why. The government gives them money for research and development which in turn they use to be able to give medicine away cheaper to those in need. Sounds good right. Wrong. They use that shit as a fucking loophole and claim money that isn't even theirs in the first place as charitable donations. So now they pay less taxes while they rake in the fucking cash cause people are getting older and they need fucking drugs so they don't keel over and die. Or because some douche bag doctor who has his hands in the pharmaceutical company's pocket tells you that you need these meds. This is fucking criminal. Why don't we stop subsidizing those fuckers and put that money into Medicare so people can get some fucking insurance. This shit pisses me off and in the words of Murphy, it should piss you off too.


But instead of examining this shit, we want to consider cutting troops pay and benefits. So why not Congress? Why not other government positions that make retarded amounts of money for fingering his or her asshole at work and doing nothing because they knew somebody and that somebody owed them a favor.


Fuck this shit. 


I need to stop before I fucking give myself a fucking heart attack. Then because they are cutting my benefits at least Astra douche fucking bag Zeneca can help me pay for my drugs that the doctor says I need so I don't die in 30 fucking seconds.


Grrrrr....
