Aside from that keeping religion separate from government.
US foreign policy
Healthcare

The coming North American Union which will merge the US/Mexico/Canada and erase our sovernty and constitutional rights.

The purposeful devaluation of the dollar as a first step to the introduction of a common currency that will be marketed as the 'solution' to the problem of hyperinflation.

The fact that these events will come along incrementally and prevent us from stopping it until it's too late, just like the European Union. Just look the the UK. They know they're in trouble but it's too late. They've lost their sovernty and the ability to control their destiny. Just look at what's going on in Ireland right now.

The ever present 'outside threat', be it terrorism or global warming, that will continue to be used to manipulate the population into begging for their own loss of liberty and freedom.

Actually, The greatest allocation of US funds goes to Health and Human services, based in actual expenditures in 2007 they accounted for nearly 680B, Defense comes in 2'nd with nearly 600B spent, The National debt has 406B in interest being paid out.

Veterans affairs is a differed military expense and claims nearly 80B
Education, HUD , Homeland Security (what a joke and another military expense) all fall under the 80B mark. The "domestic" spending can barely register on a graph the numbers are so small in comparison. If we add all those factors that really have roots in military I think you will find it actually is the largest bleeding point in our budget. It has amounts of money unaccounted for that are counted in Billions not the millions other domestic programs see.

Federal Budget Spending and the National Debt

The waste of Pentagon money. 2.3Trillion... lost.


YouTube - 1 DAY BEFORE 911 WTC attack! DO u know what happened?WATCH!

Our issues are in no way domestic programs. it is corrupt politicians wasting our money.

The dollar. Revolution occurs each and every time a currency is destroyed, regardless of the military might and amount of control a nation tried to exhibit.

And with that we all must become like the animal kingdom and live under survival of the fittest philosophy. If you don't wanna work, you don't eat, you starve to death.
