They never seem to lack money when it comes to huge subsidies for Big Oil. Nor is funding lacking for conducting as many wars as their corporate masters desire. There is plenty of revenue for bailing out the wealthiest Wall Street criminals, even though somehow there wasn't enough to bail out the American people devastated by the economic collapse. Oddly enough, they even had enough spare change to conduct the a deliberate campaign of suppression to keep third parties blocked from accessing the media and from participating in the debates. 

It's only when it comes to providing those things that people most desperately need for their well-being and for the well-being of their children that suddenly the pockets are magically empty and nothing can be done.

You get the government for which you vote. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. As for me and my house, we will vote the way that we live: GREEN.
