WHERE YOUR 2014 TAX DOLLAR WENT

They seem to have forgotten the 20 cents borrowed, with the bill passed on to future generations.

Did you get your money’s worth from the government in 2014?

Looks probable that my 4th layoff in 6 years looms.

If the outcome is as I expect, I won’t have another “real” job for the rest of my life. Despite all the charts showing people 55 and over having increased employment, my experience is that NO ONE will hire someone over 50. My only option for work was as a contractor doing what I did before my first layoff (for less $.) Now that seems to have run out of road.

Good news? My income tax bill will plunge…by like 80%.

I guess it’s time I “go Galt.” They can’t tax me if I don’t do anything taxable, and so far they haven’t succeeded in passing an “Air Tax.”

DC , I got layoff several months into 2009 after the 2008 crisis. It is hard trying to find an employer who will pay you what you were making. They always wanted to cut my salary in half or not pay benefits.Very frustrating. After about a year of frustration I got my CDL and started driving a truck. Then I bought my own truck.Now I work as FEDEX contractor. Truck driving is different than anything I have done before but it has its rewards.Never dreamed I would be a truck driver but I had to do something. You’ll find something to do and you may even enjoy it more then your old employment.

430.8 billion dollars “paid” in interest for 2014. FOR WHAT? Why does the federal government borrow money when it has the power to create money? https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ir/ir_expense.htm

Just once I’d like to see what Federal salaries and benefits and pensions cost us, in one catagory, in real time.

The Federal pensions and healthcare will DWARF SS & Med, which will cover many, many, many, times more people.

Can’t fix something you don’t know is a problem.

I know I don’t believe it is accidental that it is impossible to see these figures.

And this is how you control a conversation, distract and omit and lie.

TE, when you factor in what Uncle Sam pays for in the “supposedly” private economy, most employed Americans work for the government.

For a “free country” that espouses “capitalism,” this system has very little of freedom or capitalism.

D.C…as I’ve said many times…if you think you’re free…go build a deck in your backyard without a building permit and then you’ll find out how free you really are !

What’ a depressing wage of money. And looking at every one of those categories, hardly any of it falls under the enumerated powers given to the federal govt by the states in the constitution, therefore, pretty much all of it is illegal.

All I want government to do is build a giant impenetrable fence along the entire US- Mexico border. At $1,000 per foot, it would only cost $11 billion, or one day’s federal spending.
