Participant[quote=marion]And is the money used to fund the war in Iraq being used efficiently?[/quote]
Hardly, the lack of a plan has been one of the most costly f-ups in our country’s history.

ParticipantSome programs are needed. A safety net is needed. The safety net needs to have safe guards to prevent abuse. And we should always ask are we getting our money’s worth from the program? Is the program goals being accomplished. Should the program exist.
These questions are not asked and instead we have mindless debates with sound bites and colored terms.
Obama has been consistent in record and voice opinion, fund more programs.
Sadly the alternative doesn’t provide any better ideas.

ParticipantYou’re free to contribute as much as you want to charities to provide additional services.
So put more of your money where your mouth is. I’m sick and tired of people like you that want to spend someone elses money.
You can’t account for how the money is being spent so instead resort to calling those opposing the inefficency and squandering of money as greedy.

ParticipantIt’s not the big programs:
[quote=marion]Well, yes, it’s a given he’s going to fund these type of programs, but I think he can do it effectively. Is there a reason why you don’t think he can? And yes, he has limited military experience. I say “so what” to that. [/quote]In the California budget, it isn’t the inefficiency, it’s the idiocy. There’s no efficient funding of the programs, the program by design aren’t effective and shouldn’t be funded.
It isn’t a case of are we spending 10% too much on WIC, but instead, a death of a 1000 cuts. $7 million for migrant services, $4 million in block grants (slush funds), $17 million for the California Science center (cripes I’ve been there, create an entrace fee), Song Brown program 1/2 million (used to recruit students into health fields), Health Services $5 million work training to recruit students to health fields, Snaple program $9000 to recruit students to health fields etc for 962 pages.
962 pages of appropriations for ten thousand here, seven million there, six hundred thousand over there, etc, until we have a $14 billion dollar shortfall.
Think about it, on a $140,000,000,000 budget, there is literally a line entry for $9000. That’s like a person who makes $150,000 a year budgeting something for one penny.
