Obama closed down White House tours due to budget cuts

Wasteful gov programs should be cut

  • But he doesn't seem to be overly concerned with tax payers paying for things like this...... 
    See,Obama want to raise a rucus over nothing. Volunteers run White House Tours. 

These are just a few things to show how Government waste TAX DOLLARS .

  Don't believe me, research Government Waste/ Government Programs/ Tax payer funded Government programs and see for yourselves what the Government does with YOUR MONEY. 

   Maybe the next time you hear about those Republicans' complaining about Gov spending and you hear those Democrats complain about wanting even MORE TAXES, maybe then  people will get it and do something
