So we have the military taking a good chunk of budget cuts with civilian furlows and even cancelling customary events like 4th of July fireworks celebrations for the families:

Yet, it's okay to toss out $7 Billion in foreign aid to countries in Africa to make sure they have power...

Meanwhile our dear leader blows $100 million visiting a nation that doesn't want him there.

Probably...Jesus god would we be better off without a president...
We would be better off housing homeless people and distributing black tar heroin out of the white house...I'm sure, however, that government could even make dealing smack an unprofitable business venture, so even that would be a waste of the space.
