Glad you don't think I'm rich because I'm not. I'm comfortable. I lost money the whole time Obama was in office.
ICE and Homeland security were created after the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01. Before that there wasn't a need for homeland security. It combined a number of agencies into one consolidated entity.
Obama had the power to abolish or alter the department of homeland security but didn't.. So go ahead and blame it on the GOP. As you seem to be so biased as to believe that the GOP is the downfall of everything.
If you weren't so biased and closed minded to ideas other than those on the left you'd know that the GOP is not anything like what you describe.
God but your lack of education is exhausting.
I would argue that JUST MAYBE- we had a need for Homeland security BEFORE the attack of 9/11.
Bill Clinton Tried to warn Bush and Cheney about Bin Laden. So did ALL the professionals at the CIA and FBI.
Clinton tried to warn the GOP- but they were too busy spending your tax dollars investigating a cum stain on a dress.
Bush was warned and did NOTHING.
Why? Because dipshits like you who believe in the conservative worldview totally disregard anything coming from a liberal.
Hell- Clinton launched a missle strike to try and get Bin Laden.... Bush was warned he was planning a strike at the US and DID nothing. Rice did not so much as make a PHONE CALL.
And- No- it did NOT JUST consolidate agencies. The budget for Homeland security was CLASSIFIED by the GOP- but it increased US federal spending by nearly 1 trillion dollars, Based upon the jump in the deficit alone. Oh, And ONE of the things that the GOP charged homeland security with doing... was to RECORD everything You say and do online, your movements via your phone, to listen in to your phone calls.... How's that for Small government?
No- Obama did not have the authority to dismantle Homeland Security. It takes congress to do so.
So you lost money while Obama was in office? You sure that wasn't when the whole economy imploded during BUSH's watch?
I guess that means you DIDN'T buy stocks in 09. Cause if you HAD, you would have made out pretty fucking good.
So You mean to tell me you only got comfortable in the last 3 months? Because prior to that time, going all the way back to 2010, you have been living in the OBAMA economy.
Sorry- you're just another lying sack of conservative shit.
you're rich- you're not rich- you were in a union... but it didn't do well enough for you under GOP State and federal administrations that did their level best to undermine unions.... so you scabbed out. But that's not the fault of imbeciles like you who voted republicans into power in your State and in the federal government.
You brag about the stock market doing well under Trump- but ignore that it rose ten times further under Obama...and was still under Obama's economic policies until just the last few months.
You're still under Obamacare... but vote for fucks who will take it away-
You pay into social security all your working life,... but vote for fucks who will take it away.
You're 'comfortable' with your tax money going to pay for the food for some billionaire's underpaid labor, so he can pocket YOUR money as his reward for not paying a living wage.
Fuck You and every dimwitted selfish son of a bitch who 'thinks' like you.
Donald trump could blow a hole in the bottom of your boat, and as you put on your life jacket you would be blaming Obama.
