what would yo say the DoD get in percentage of the federal budget?

I went to wikipedia yo sate my curiosity. The US federal spending on military/DoD is 15%

IIRC the education budget is 30 bil over defense ATM

Looking over the numbers in that table. The US is spending more per citizen on welfare programs (social security, medicare, medicaid, income security) than my country does. Are all Americans retiring from old age to government mansions with gold cutlery?

No, the system is just bloated, if its anything like Social Security employees are in my country, they work for 20 years and retire with full benefits.

Like the greek 13th month extra salary for public employees.

That got killed after 20+ years as part of the agreement with the germans to refinance their debt

probably the only good thing the EU has done for Greece

having a bunch of people sucking at the goverments tits is not healthy for a country

It's not a Democracy unless you vote Democrat, as they say

Funny The US is a constitutional democratic republic.

You mean the meme one?

I mean... apparently there is one thing she seems to be somewhat knowledgeable of.

looks old. also: why would you get tax refunds for other people's kids (niece, nephew)?

No idea. And, it's from 2012. Wonder if it's still happening.

I could see it if they were being taken care of by you

Like if they were in the same capacity as a dependent

okay... so they can just claim to do that without any documentation of them doing that? i begin to understand why the elections in broward county are run so competently 😉

it's funny how people that advocate for socialism never seem to understand what socialism is.

It's like when people act like they know what islam is and theres 20 different Islams that all hate each other for not being "Islam"

Number one motivation for terrorism around the world is "Islamic Inquisition" of "Fake muslims"

i mean... i've seen people that unironically claim that germany is a socialist country...

the only religion islam hates more than judaism is other sects of islam. just look at the hate that the kurds (who are mostly muslims) get.

Well just remember, under Islam Allah changes his mind on a whim and new text supercedes old text so you could claim to be the next prophet and rewrite everything

Hey, go with the flow. I have been called a communist and a nazi, both in the same day. Just for my country of birth .

soo... german or polish? 😄

wait, hungary would be a possibility i guess...

@I AM ERROR well they say those muslims are heretics. Same shit happened in Christianity about 700 years ago. I am not defending Islam but Christianity had an extra 700 years to sort its shit out.

The thing that really pisses me off is the idiots that say "Well in the past Christians did bad shit in the name of God" . Sure they did. However that was in the past. The Islamists are doing this shit now.

There is a reason I use the word "Inquisition" when reffering to Islam on Islam terrorism. What should also be noted is that since the reffermation wars, Christinity as a whole has been prunning off "bad" bits of the dogma and teachings. After World War 2 almost universally all Christian stopped talking about the "Jewish Sin" and other justifications for Anti-semitism" in Christian Dogma.

I think it going to probably take longer than our lifetimes for that to happen in the Islamic world. As much as I like figures like Mohammad Tawhidi and I especially love it when he is dropping truth bombs. He is one guy on the fringe of over a billion people

not sure it is possible to happen with islam. christianity did not have the internet around to expose people to the worst of it.

islam tends to be besotted with inquisitorial sentiment in that regard. Any moderate islamic sects get purged from the dogma in an inverse of christian progression.

Speak for yourself, Khan. Since the Rebellion, the apostates have done nothing but dilute and corrupt proper dogma, leading to the degeneracy and moral weakness of the modern era.
