Is this what you're talking about? WASHINGTON — The White House has identified 12,218 properties the federal government no longer needs, but the administration says Congress must act to reach the $15 billion President Obama hopes to save in three years by dumping unneeded property.
Three years to save a measley $15 billion? BULL SHIT! GET SERIOUS, you bunch of teet sucking parasites! Texas alone (this year) has blood sucking expenditures (welfare/FS/Medical/housing/incarceration, amounting to almost $9 billion, get rid of those, just for a start. Illegal Aliens costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level… The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $1,117... Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $52 billion... California faced a budget deficit of $14.4 billion in 2010-2011, hit with an estimated $21.8 billion in annual expenditures on illegal aliens. New York's $6.8 billion deficit is smaller than its $9.5 billion in yearly illegal alien costs. But more than likely, the black plague sitting at the WH will probably sell off, or give away, more US soil to foreigners, and raise taxes to cover their losses...JMHO!
Actually I thought that figure was higher, somewhere over the $300 billion mark... Only the states seem to be interested in dealing with the illegal alien problem, probably because they are footing most of the bills and having to deal with all the crime and other problems.... And then when a state tries to pass some legislature to deal with the problem, then somebody in Washington tries to say "You can't do what you want in you're own state"...... Until you get some people in Washington who are interested in doing what's right instead of what will get them some votes you're going to have this problem..... Once you get rid of the Democrats then the states will probably have free reign to do what they want, but probably won't get much support from who are left......
As long as corporations are people and money is free speech, ain't gonna happen. Factory farms, meat packers, hospitality, construction and every other business that covets cheap labor, will see to it that candidates who are friendly to their "needs" will be well funded - and well funded candidates win elections. One you get rid of Democrats, you'll have one party rule - just let that sink in for a moment.

That needs to be said over and over and over again. And that it's also the number one reason for the union busting movement. Some posters here want it both ways!
I have, look at the last few years under Democrat rule, what a phucking nightmare..... No hope, no change!!!!!
