"Throwing money at the Dept. of the VA: While it has a track record of misusing the funds; don't you think that is not really wise or helping matters of helping our Veterans?"
(Warrior Blog Entry 18)
There is NO doubt the U.S. Government has a long extensive track record of misusing funds that are supposed to be appropriated by the federal government that lawmakers pass through the budget that has to go through Congress and passed before the funds are appropriated to the Dept. of the VA.
The track record of the federal government has proven in the past with the pork- belly funds, and ridiculous funding for research that the federal government has put in place decades and decades ago; proves to show that Taxpayers money can be wasted on research and projects that can produce no positive result of really benefiting the American people one bit, but to actually prove that the American people have elected and put in office of hoping that whoever is elected and sworn in as an elected official sworn in to represent their district or for that matter the Reps. are not always the brightest or really working for the American people but against the American people by wasting money on wild & off the scale pipe dreams of crazy unsound approaches that would get most people put in Prison or in the Crazy House for even attempting to even think about doing something that ridiculous and farfetch of pursuing anything that is wasteful and not beneficial to the Nation that have hard working Taxpayers that are already being overtaxed to the death giving money to the U.S. Government, especially the Middle-Class, and what really ends up happening at the end is wasted taxpayers money.
The examples I have for you in this blog entry 18, it is to inform you that what has taken place in the past with how our government has misused or misappropriated funds with other avenues they took and not always even related to funding the Dept. of the VA; it will help put things into perspective of what has happened with how funds in the past that have been issued by the federal government is no different of how funds in the past that came from the Taxpayers doesn't just start or end there it has proven to be part of such an elaborate and reckless approach by the federal government that causes issues with being able to not be trusted because of the track record of misusing Taxpayers money to be used for where it really was suppose to be intended for, and with the government in the past and currently of not being to fix the scandals of the VA should be more than alarming but looked at as cancer that continues to spread within the government.
Here are examples what I am referring to in reference to wasteful spending by misusing Taxpayers money that will prove that the U.S. Government can't be trusted with other people's money such as the taxpayers:
Studies on how shrimp perform on treadmills
Government agency pays for storage to store old furniture
Lavish conference trips
Renovating government buildings that are vacant or partial occupied
Studies on how primates fling their poop
I can go on and on of the list of misused taxpayer funds that is still till this day in some cases continuing, but I am having difficulties keeping a straight face and I am trying to focus on being able to finish this blog entry, but I am about to cry in laughter because it amazes me that when the U.S. government goes after those who break the law by defrauding the American people through stealing from those who put trust in professionals who were to invest in their money and at the end of investing other peoples money to help make it possible to yield a very nice nest egg or eggs of investment or investments, but time after time it proves that when you put your faith in trust in others that eventually you will find out the hard way or easy way depending how a person catches on: that investing other people's money is a gamble and investing in other people's money has risks, and that is very true.
The risk that is most common is giving your hard earned money to those who are so eager to invest in your money while they are not the ones who truly worked hard at that point of being able to take large amounts of cash to be invested, but while investing or even before they tell you how difficult it will be to invest in your money, but in essences it is very easy to make it and lose it because all they who are the investors of your money are in a very comfortable office, in a very comfortable office environment where they are in a central A/C or central heated office where they live a lavish life on the money of those who in many cases don't have that opportunity to live a life as lavishly as those they put their trust in with their hard earned money because most people in the world have to work hard in many case more than one job to be able to give those so called professional investors the big bag of cash.
See, many who really work hard want to live a life like those who are living off the dime of the really hard workers while the whole time those who invest in other people's money are trying to convince those who they are about to spend their money on that to get where they are took a lot of hard work and sacrifice, but if you are smart enough to understand that is a bunch of B.S. that attitude of ridiculous talk about that approach of what it takes to get to the top is nothing but a lie and false and so preposterous and ludicrous at the sametime. Yes, it is a sacrifice that one makes to sacrifice by spending the time and effort to be a Con by putting in the long hours, but is that really a sacrifice or another excuse to tell yourself that stealing from others is a sacrifice or is it really a choice of making the time to steal from others so you maybe able to live a lavish lifestyle on the dime of those who most of the time earned the hard way and the honest way, such as Bernie Madox the man for years stole from those who thought the whole time was gaining the riches but at the end lost everything?
When it goes with the U.S. Government or for that matter any government you will have those who will take other people's money, and in this case the Taxpayers money, and justify why the money was spent the way it was by having someone with a so called expert or is credible that has a piece of paper backing up with what they are trying to justify, and see Folks that is the big problem with today's approach on life is that society and the government is pushing for education to be a priority and should be a prerequisite to success, but is that really accurate or even possible for many who spend money on an education through Taxpayers by taking out loans is really the best approach for society or the government overall?
Not everyone who goes to college even graduates or even gets a good job after graduating, and the education system is getting so expensive these days that it literally causes many who go to school or finishes anxiety to the point of where many will do anything to hustle for a buck or will make anything up to be able to live the American dream on the dime of others, and that is true in many cases but not always the norm for others, but it is becoming more evident that how society and government has behaved in the past with spending other people's money has not reformed or changed or even slowed down because of many factors: one being many who have money got money in ways that were not always the honest way, and the ones who don't have money, want money and many who don't have money know in many cases that being rich doesn't always happen by being the good person in the room or even happens when you are the honest person in the room, and stepping on the toes of others to get to the top will only make it more of a reality than if you play by the rules.
Let's be honest Folks with ourselves here shall we? It is a Dog Eat Dog Eat World out there and has been for a long while, and many put on a good game, and many will do whatever it takes to get to the top even while they look right in your face and feed you what you want to hear, but in the behind scenes what you think is happening is not the case, and that is exactly what is going on with the United States Government.
The American Taxpayers money have been for decades been spent unwisely, and has been misappropriated. Just look at the U.S. Government's deficit because it is in the Trillions and not decreasing it is actually increasing even with the current President (Mr. President Trump). The U.S. Government is in debt with other countries such as China of being one of the countries we owe money to, and the banking system the U.S. has is not federal it is actually a private banking system that in essence is a Corporation. The American people are living off of debt, and I and many of us can relate and know that all to well. The government is borrowing and has been borrowing to pay to be the Superpower Nation just as the whole time the American people are doing the same by living off of paycheck to paycheck. It is not the case for all but for many, and there has to be something that let go on the whole approach on how the U.S. Government balances its checkbook, and even the American people, because one day as it has been for a while by world economist, that the financial market will once again have it's bubble burst but this time it may burst and never recover, and because many really don't invest in other assets that are not digital or worth the value of what the ink is printed on: when the financial market does crash there will be a major panic never seen before and of course will cause civil unrest that has never been seen before and if we think we have seen the desperation in the eyes of Americans before like the Great Depression; think again it will be ten times worse, but it will affect the financial market in many countries globally, not just Nationally.
I am going to leave this one last thing of a short story about the Dept. of the VA Medical Center in Topeka, KS-USA. Back before the Dept. of the VA really had major embarrassment about the VA scandals during former President Obama Presidencies back in the 2013's to 2014's the Dept. of the VA Medical Center-Topeka, KS just had solar panels installed on the VA grounds, and granted from what I was told the funds for the solar panel project was privately funded, but where there could of been a parking garage the U.S. government took up that space for the solar panels. Now, you might say what is the big deal? The big deal is that getting a parking spot at this particular VA at many times can be very difficult for a disabled Veteran to get a parking spot that would be less than a 1/4 mile away, but the VA Staff would get pretty good parking or those who went through the proper channels to get better parking, and as a a former U.S. Army Engineer, it really doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to know that solar panels do much better if mounted up top on higher ground, such as an area of a roof, like a roof of a parking garage, but instead a big area was reserved for ground solar panels to be installed, and they were.
The point I am making is if the government continues to make poor judgments on not being able to prioritize what is really important and what is not, and have those charged with the taxpayers money to be approved to go towards government funding for the use of the federal government to appropriate funds: while the whole time the government is not learning from past dealings of government funding either not being there or is there but not being used wisely, and that is a problem, and if Folks think that is not a problem or if they think it is a problem but don't want to be part of the solution to help fix the problem by helping with the efforts of keeping our government honest and accountable, well that is also a problem with those who think there is no end in sight of corruption with U.S. Government is not helping matters, but that might be true with those statements about not being able to fix a government's spending habits or inability to put forth good checks and balances approach by getting rid of wasteful spending and it is obvious the government committing on wasteful spending is not really able to put forth a good oversight of wasting Taxpayers money as if you are taking the money and flushing it down the toilet thinking it will not clog up your toilet or have it flood your bathroom by backing up by not using the toilet as it was intended to be used.
What are your thoughts on this blog entry 18? How do you think wasteful spending or mismanaging the funding coming out of the government could be handled differently?
Here are some videos that I encourage you all to check out, and try not to bust up and laugh in some of the videos, because it does kind of get you to just laugh at the fact that what has been mentioned in the videos can actually be true but in all honesty in many cases it is so real and true that it really should anger you knowing the money that was wasted could of gone to help our Veterans and the civilian disabled, and of course the elderly, but that is not the case.
Keep this in mind that the top dog of the U.S. Government the President of the United States was about to spend of 90 something million dollars on a Military/Veteran parade this year, but the Mr. President Trump postponed the parade until next year because of the cost factor; you think?
I am pretty sure a parade can wait because of the Veterans can't wait on the government because many are committing suicide 22 or more a day or less at times, but regardless it would be a lot wiser to fix the mess on the government by getting rid of those who are making the mess and causing our government to be in debt with no sight of changing.
You can throw money at a problem but if the problem is stemmed by those who are creating the problem with misusing the money; it is like trying to help a drug addict from using drugs by giving the drug addict drugs that is obviously causing the problem and not helping the drug addict from being able to recover from what is causing the problem in the first place and that would be in this case the easy access to drugs, and with the government it would be those who can't spend the governments money wisely; easy access to Taxpayers money is enabling them.
Do you see where problem lies here with wasteful government spending and the government wasting on projects that really should not even been a thought to even make it a reality, and when you misuse Taxpayers money why justifying why is is justifiable is like the addict thinking that one day you will stop using drugs while still using drugs?
Warrior Blog Author's Note:
Greetings Folks,
Please, take the time to watch the videos, and do your own homework on what I have presented in Warrior Blog Entry 18, and I truly this blog entry has been an eye opener and has put things into perspective or not because you are already where of what I have mentioned or what the videos are showing us, but regardless let's keep the conversation going on what is the best approach to get the government to wake up and stop spending taxpayers money unwisely, that will not be an easy task of getting that conversation to become a reality because years in the making of those from it being a generational inherited bad habit of wasting Taxpayers money problem.
Thanks for taking the time to read Warrior Blog Entry 18, if you are about to laugh or already have I understand, but after writing this blog, I am a little irritated with the fact this has been going on for far too long with government wasteful spending, and all the money the U.S. Government has borrowed from other countries like CHINA.
Yours Truly,
-Warrior Tim
