Your money, pissed down the drain

Congress and the White House conspired to rob you blind, and have now agreed to spend $555 billion of your pocket pickings to prop up the government institutions that done the deed. That government will use the cash to abuse you for another year, throw you a few low-quality trinkets to replace the decent-quality options you can longer afford after meeting the tax bill -- and then it will expect you to thank politicians for what they've done.

What? You don't feel grateful?
