The Budget Battle and Planned Parenthood
It doesn't matter if you're "Right to Life" or "Pro Choice" when it comes to the organization of "Planned Parenthood". It doesn't even matter whether you believe the allegations against them or not.
What really matters is that the government funds "Planned Parenthood" with over $500,000,000 each year. Yes, at a time where our government is in such deep debt (over $17 trillion), that they are giving over a half a trillion dollars to a private (special interest) entity. What makes matters even worse, is the fact that "Planned Parenthood" contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the Democratic party each year. Some Democrats consider "Planned Parenthood" as their slush fund.
Now we have come to a time where Congress has to approve or disapprove the government's budget.
Obama has said that if the line item for funding "Planned Parenthood" is deleted from the budget, that he will veto it. The Democrats are willing to shut down the government over a half a trillion dollar line item. The Republicans, on the other hand are being just as stubborn by saying that they refuse to include that funding in the budget.
I understand that it's a wonderful thing that there are organizations concerned and helping with the healthcare for woman (no such organization for men) as it is greatly needed, especially for the poor.
But, does that give the government the right to give away your money frivolously ?
Bottom line on this, is that taxpayer money is being freely given to only one organization of this kind and no others, tens of millions of dollars are then funneled back to the Democratic party to use as they please, and you're paying for all of this.
If this doesn't upset you, then you're not paying attention to the wastefulness that this administration has undertaken. If this does upset you, then why aren't you sending letters and phone calls to your Representatives in Washington screaming at them to stop all this spending while we have homelessness, hunger, poverty, and substandard education existing in a country to great that none of these things should exist. A half a trillion dollars each year would go a long way in helping the aforementioned...
