yet another interesting chart

.
let us pause in our merciless attack on the brainless left and scrutinize the teabaggers for a minute: waving their misspelled signs and screaming for limited government and fiscal restraint, you could almost forget that most of 'em no doubt cheered on the idiot bush as he trampled our civil liberties and spent us from surplus into bankruptcy whilst waging his stupid, pointless wars--but only almost.



where do most conservatives wanna cut?  as the above chart makes clear (courtesy of the american national election studies), it's simple:  foreign aid and welfare.

the problem, you teabaggers, is that foreign aid and welfare account for less than 1% and 6% of our annual budget, respectively--a mere drop in the bucket.

the other 93%--social security, the military, medicare, childcare, science/technology, education, border security, infrastructure?  no way, jose--less than 15% of self-identified conservatives would condone cutting any of those.

in other words, you pussies, you're just as pro big-government as the lefties you pretend to deplore.

[me?  gimme the budget, a red pencil, a half-gallon of vodka and a long weekend and we'd be back in the black, goddammit.]
