Who Deserves a Flog Today?

While House Members of the USA's Inept and Cynical Congress pound their Mouthpiece Gavels against Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, a special flash of anger grows inside the tips of The Flogging Whip's stinging knotted strands. 

Cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, based on the supposed desire to "Stop Socialism" in the USA (!) and to "cut wasteful spending", is truly laughable were it not so frightening in the overall Message, and the zeal with which the Proponents of Gutting These Programs lie about it everyday. 

It's quite "telling" that their priorities always involve shafting the Vulnerable Ones among us, while they certainly have no problem ignoring all of the waste our government spends on Military-oriented non-essentials and ensuring that their Money People get whatever deal they were promised when they wrote the campaign check.

In addition, we are learning how many of the Big Mouths of The Tea Party who are pushing reform are often discovered to have received, or are still receiving, similar "Socialism-like" grants and subsidies for their own personal and business use. The hypocrisy of focusing on killing the programs our country has successfully utilized for years is beyond irrational: it's complete and utter pettiness, to be kind in language for a change. 

To gain a sense of where a large amount of Government Waste has gone, and, in some instances, continues to go, The Whip is happy to point you to links that provide mind-numbing, head-shaking, eye-rolling examples that have been compiled by actual journalist's and/or publications/websites who/that dare to research the winding road to "Where's The Money Really Going"? 

The links provide a small portion of the Bigger Picture, but should be enough to make you too feel a little Whippy! Let's begin with a visually-oriented POV by going HERE to set the scene.

For more specific edification, go HERE, HERE - and ALSO THIS ONE - then sit back and breathe-in that sour smell of rotting soil on farmlands we no longer use, and upon whose owners are making millions - from U.S. taxpayers - for doing Absolutely Nothing Productive to procure Government Assistance. 

I know. You hear the complaints all of the time. It's become Just More Chatter. But, do you actually know the Details of The Waste? If not, you may find the above information helpful to your overall understanding that there IS a problem with Government Waste - but, perhaps not where you had expected to find it.

Calm Rant Over - for now.
